Psyllium Husks Capsules
Psyllium seeds consist of approximately 85% soluble fiber, which can bind 20 to 50 times their weight in water in the intestine. Due to the high swelling capacity of these mucilages, the volume of intestinal contents increases, stimulating bowel activity. The stool becomes softer and easier to pass, facilitating bowel movements. Additionally, loose stools can be regulated by the mucilages in psyllium husks, as they bind excess liquid and thicken the stool. These mucilages also form a protective film around the intestinal wall, supporting the gastrointestinal tract. The high fiber content of psyllium husks also contributes to an increased feeling of satiety, aiding in achieving a comfortable weight. Psyllium husk capsules are made from finely ground psyllium husk powder. In this form, the plant-based product has a higher swelling capacity than whole seeds, which are largely excreted undigested, and is easier to take than unprocessed husks, which are often considered rough. Composition: Psyllium husk powder; Cellulose* *Capsule shell Notes: The stated recommended consumption should not be exceeded. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet. Store in a dry place at room temperature, out of reach of small children. Insufficient fluid intake can lead to intestinal blockage. Psyllium may interfere with the absorption of medications; maintain a 1-hour interval between intakes. Recommended consumption: Take 1 capsule 3 times daily with plenty of fluids.
