💡 Traditional Uses of Psyllium

Psyllium is traditionally used for:

  1. Bulk-forming laxative: Thanks to its high soluble fiber content, it absorbs water in the intestine, softens stools and increases their volume, facilitating transit in cases of constipation .

  2. Anti-diarrheal: It can also be used to help normalize overly loose stools by absorbing excess water and slowing down transit.

  3. Cardiovascular/Glycemic Health: Used as a dietary supplement, psyllium may help reduce cholesterol levels and maintain healthy blood sugar by slowing the absorption of sugars.
