Vilgain Psyllium BIO - soluble fibre from Indian plantain

Psyllium is a soluble fibre that is obtained by cleaning and then grinding the seed coats of Indian plantain. Vilgain Psyllium is 98% pure, sourced from India and is also of organic quality.

How does psyllium work inside our body?

Psyllium is known for its ability to bind water and form a gel‑like structure. Studies [1, 2] describe its mechanism as follows: it swells in liquid and forms a soft gel that absorbs liquids. In the stomach, it increases its volume and may thus contribute to a greater feeling of satiety.

Food for beneficial intestinal bacteria

Psyllium acts as a soluble fibre that serves as a substrate for gut microorganisms. It can thus support the growth of a beneficial microbiome in the gut.

Who is psyllium good for and who should avoid it?

Fibre is generally deficient in the Western diet, so psyllium supplementation may be a good option. It is most appreciated by people who want to support normal digestive and bowel function. Conversely, it is definitely not suitable for young children under 3 years of age. Although it is an all‑natural product, pregnant women should consult a physician regarding the use and dosage of psyllium.

Drinking is essential when taking psyllium

It is important for the proper functioning of psyllium that you also follow a drinking regime. Adequate fluid intake will ensure that psyllium swells and forms a gel in the body, allowing it to perform its beneficial functions.
