THIS PRODUCT IS MANUFACTURED FOR AND DISTRIBUTED TO HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS ONLY. The major component of Psyllium seed (Plantago Psyllium) is mucilage, which consists of both soluble and insoluble fibre. Mucilage is found in both the outer husks and the inner seed. Mucilage is made up of indigestible fibre that absorbs water and swells several times its original size. If taken with lots of water, it acts like a bulk laxative absorbing water and stretching the large intestine and decreasing the length of time that stool stays in the intestine. In cases of diarrhea, psyllium mucilage absorbs the excess liquid and slow down the movement and delays the emptying of the contents from the gastrointestinal tract. The mucilage in psyllium also absorbs toxins from external sources (e.g. carcinogens) and internal sources (produced by intestinal bacteria and parasites). Through its actions, psyllium can be used to reduce cholesterol absorption, lessen the frequency of hemorrhoids and hiatal hernias, reduce constipation and reduce intestinal disease. Plenty of water should be consumed because if it is not provided, it will be drawn out of the body. If a person is already constipated, taking psyllium without plenty of water could worsen the condition. To order, please call 1-888-566-8297 |
