Psyllium

Psyllium has always been used as a laxative and has an excellent safety record. Currently, there are only very few cases of skin allergies caused by contact with psyllium salt during production or large-scale transportation. The following is a detailed explanation of the effects of psyllium.

1. Reduce Cholesterol

The water-soluble dietary fiber in psyllium seed husk can increase the viscosity of colon contents, increase the thickness of the colon's non-agitated layer, and reduce the cholesterol digestibility. At the same time, it can absorb and encapsulate cholesterol and toxins in the intestines and stomach, reduce the secondary absorption of cholesterol, accelerate excretion, and effectively eliminate unnecessary cholesterol in the body.

2. Relieve constipation and moisten the intestines

Psyllium husk can fully absorb water, increase the volume to digestible masses, improve intestinal motility, shorten the transit time of stool in the intestine, and gradually become regular.

3. Reduce the probability of diabetes

A high-fiber diet can produce gelatin in the stomach and intestines, slowing down and reducing the digestion and absorption of glycogen, and effectively controlling the increase in blood sugar after meals. At the same time, it can improve the sensitivity of peripheral nerve tissue to insulin glargine, reduce the body's requirement for insulin glargine, and thus balance and stabilize blood sugar levels. The high fiber content of psyllium husk may reduce the risk of diabetes in some people who may be at risk of developing the disease.

4. Relieve diarrhea

Psyllium husk absorbs a lot of water in the digestive system, makes stool firm, and relaxes the digestive tract over time. It is generally used to relieve moderate diarrhea. There is already a lot of scientific evidence for its application in this regard.
