Psyllium

Psyllium offers many benefits

Psyllium is a soluble fibre obtained from the seed husks of Plantago ovata, valued for its effects on transit, blood sugar, cholesterol and satiety.

Used for centuries in traditional medicine, it is today one of the most scientifically documented fibres.

To discover all of its effects and learn how to use it effectively, take a look at our complete guide to the benefits of psyllium.

Supports digestion

Psyllium helps promote an optimal balance between intestinal comfort and nutrient absorption. Its wealth of soluble fibre forms a gentle gel in the gut, easing the passage of food and reducing digestive discomfort.

Used regularly, it contributes to smoother digestion and a lighter feeling.

Helps relieve occasional constipation

Supporting regular transit is psyllium's best-known and best-documented use. By forming a gentle gel in the intestine, it increases stool volume, eases passage and helps regulate transit without irritating the intestinal lining. Working from the very first servings, it is suited to occasional constipation as well as ongoing transit concerns.

A natural intestinal regulator

Thanks to its ability to absorb excess water, psyllium helps normalise stool consistency in both directions. It is a helpful choice in cases of constipation as well as mild diarrhoea or an irritable bowel, where its buffering effect helps reduce uncomfortable fluctuations.

Supports weight loss

By swelling on contact with water, psyllium provides a natural appetite-curbing effect that helps reduce snacking and improve portion control. It also slows the absorption of sugars and fats, thereby supporting weight and blood-sugar management.

Helps reduce bloating for a flatter stomach

Any bloating with psyllium at the start of a course is temporary. Regular use improves the regularity of transit, helps reduce abdominal distension and contributes to a flatter-stomach effect over the long term by limiting the build-up of waste in the colon.
