Psyllium Husk in capsule

Organic blond psyllium :

Blond psyllium is also called Indian plantain or Ispaghul. There are two varieties of psyllium: black psyllium and blond. The latter is a seed that originates from India, but also from Iran. As for black psyllium, it comes to us from the Mediterranean coasts, but also from the Middle East. Psyllium is a seed that was already used in ancient Egyptian times. It is therefore a seed that has been known for millennia.

Psyllium : it's use

It is the seed coat of the blond seeds reduced to powder which has many virtues, used in Ayurvedic medicine to relieve many disorders linked to transit. Psyllium husks are a form of dietary fiber. It is recommended a daily consumption of around 30 g of fiber. Fiber is found in foods such as vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts and seeds and is important for bowel regularity. Most people don't get enough fiber. As the psyllium husks pass through the digestive tract, they turn into a gel that expands considerably.

A description of the plant :

The seed comes from the psyllium fruit, which comes in capsule form.
