Psyllium is a true dietary fiber, even though it is classified by some as a laxative or mucilaginous fiber, and is a convenient way to increase intake of dietary fiber because of its high mucilage content. This bulking agent swells considerably when added to liquid, which can help to support healthy gastrointestinal transit time. This bulking action and healthy transit time can play an important role in maintaining healthy gastrointestinal function. Psyllium Seed Husks are one of the best natural sources of dietary fibre. One serving of NOW whole psyllium seed husk contains 4g of fibre from psyllium seed, which promotes laxation. It is important to increase daily water consumption if using psyllium.
