Description
Name : Psyllium Husk Psyllium husk or isabgol husk is a natural polymer. It consists of the epidermal and adjacent collapsed layers removed from the seeds of the plant Plantago ovata Forsk. It is rich in fiber and mucilage. Mucilage is a colourless gelling agent capable of expanding in volume as it absorbs water up to 40 times its weight. The fiber obtained from psyllium husk may be used in Keto diet and as a dietary fiber supplement. Psyllium is a soluble fiber used primarily as a gentle bulk-forming laxative. The soluble fiber in psyllium husk absorbs water and softens stools, making it easier to pass and relieving constipation.
