What Psyllium Husks are effective in treating

For thousands of years, people have eaten Psyllium Husks for relief of ailments in their digestive and bowel systems. These husks are pure dietary fibre and contain more fibre than oats, barley, or bran because they are indigestible and highly absorbent.

What's in Psyllium Husks?

• Fibre or roughage sweep waste and unhealthy bacteria out of the system. Soluble fibers also bind with bile acids and help to digest and expel fats, thereby lowering cholesterol levels.
• Glycosides carry important natural plant sugars bound in carbohydrates that the body can break down and use for energy.
• Proteins is an important component of every cell in the body. Used to build and repair tissues and make enzymes, hormones, and blood.
• Polysaccharides are important in the prevention of disease, these are useful in the fight against cardiovascular problems and type 2 diabetes. They also work to lower bad cholesterol levels
• Vitamin B1 Also known as Thiamine helps to fuel your body by converting blood sugar into energy
• Choline helps in the metabolism of fat and protein and is important in the GI system for the way it works to protect the liver.

Psyllium Husks can help:

• Detoxify and cleanse your colon as they pass through
• Improve and maintain the gastrointestinal tract
• Increase the absorption of water during digestion
• Treat diarrhea, constipation, and irritable bowel syndrome
• Ease the pain of hemorrhoids and cystitis
• Cholesterol levels. Studies show they can help to lower moderately high levels.
• Treat inflammatory bowel disease and help promote weight loss
• Cleanse colons before colonoscopies

How Psyllium Husks work

Psyllium Husks are a natural fibre made from portions of the plantago or psyllium plant. They are indigestible, and absorb water at 8-16 times their weight. Consequently, they become soft and bulky as they pass through the gastrointestinal tract. Because they form such a soft mass, they pass through the colon very quickly, clearing potential toxic waste from the system. This mass also absorbs toxins in the bowels and, by softening stool, functions as an effective laxative. However, Psyllium Husks are an excellent treatment for diarrhea too, because for the same reasons they help firm up loose stool.

A number of studies have shown that Psyllium Husks are quite effective in lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, as well as cholesterol levels overall. This is obviously useful for people with high cholesterol levels. But it is also helpful for those at risk of cholesterol problems, such as individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Studies also suggest that Psyllium Husks may support healthy blood sugar balance, and they have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration as a way to reduce cardiovascular disease.

Furthermore, Psyllium Husks are not broken down in the small intestine. So they act as a food source for the many forms of healthy bacteria that live in the colon,

Lastly, because they swell so much in the digestive system, Psyllium Husks create a sense of fullness in the body. This helps to reduce appetite in people who ingest them, and may help with weight loss.

Can Psyllium Husks really help my colon and gastrointestinal tract?

There seems to be no question. Many people have found that they help digestion and irregularity. Natural healers have used Psyllium Husks for this purpose for centuries. Studies show that they work – amazingly – as both a natural laxative and an anti-diarrheatic.

How long does it take before I see results?

Psyllium Husks work as quickly as they pass through your Gastroinstenial system.

Does taking Psyllium Husks cause any side effects?

For most people, there will be no side effects. However, do not take Psyllium Husks if you have a bowel obstruction or any disease the creates a narrowing anywhere in your digestive tract. Also, diabetics should avoid Psyllium Husks if control of blood sugar levels is a problem. Some people can experience an allergic reaction to them. Consult your doctor if this happens.

Are Psyllium Husks addictive or habit forming?

No. This is just a natural fibre.

Should I consult my doctor before using Psyllium Husks?

They are a safe, natural supplement. However, it’s always a good idea to consult with your doctor before taking a supplement.
