Psyllium Ecological Husk

Product: Psyllium Husk. Description: Psyllium husk is the common name used for a plant native to Asia called Plantago ovata. Its seeds are used commercially for the production of mucilage (a gelatinous plant substance that increases in contact with water).

• Psyllium is mainly used as a dietary fibre, to relieve symptoms of constipation and mild diarrhoea.
• As a food thickener.
• Helps with weight control.

Research has shown that it lowers blood cholesterol levels in people with high cholesterol, and lowers blood glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Uses: One of the major uses of psyllium husk has been in gluten-free bread and pastries, replacing the "sticking" and thickening effect of gluten in gluten-free bakery and confectionery.
