Ecoidées Psyllium blond

This plant, used in Ayurveda to relieve constipation, is recognized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a supplement for reducing cardiovascular risk and is recommended by both the WHO and Hildegard of Bingen. It has specific properties for the health of the intestines and the cardiovascular system, based on the mucilage content of the seed husk. This husk has a very high fiber content, making it particularly suitable as a supplement to the modern diet, which often lacks fiber.

The thickening ability of psyllium is remarkable. The seed husk swells to 50 times its volume when it absorbs water, forming a gelatinous substance rich in soluble (35%) and insoluble (65%) fibers. These increase the bulk of food and the feeling of fullness, positively affecting intestinal activity. Without specifically aiming to improve digestion or promote weight loss, a simple intake of 6 grams of psyllium husks (one tablespoon) per day can enhance overall digestive health and is considered a common-sense addition to dietary practices for everyone.
