Psyllium is the name for the seed husks of the plant (Plantago Ovata). Excellent source of soluble fibers, which allows them to expand in contact with water, increasing up to 50 times their own volume, and becoming mucilaginous. They are an excellent alternative to using wheat or other gluten-containing cereals in bread making. Suitable for individuals wishing to increase fiber consumption, for diets low in carbohydrates, appetite control.

Benefits:

- Combats Constipation: As psyllium moves down the digestive tract, it absorbs water in the intestines, swells and contributes to the formation of gelatinous stools that are soft and easy to pass; Indicated for those who suffer from hemorrhoidal, or hypersensitivity to the presence of fibers

- Improves Cholesterol Levels: Soluble fiber interferes with the absorption of bile acids in the intestines, which forces bile acids to be excreted in the feces. In this process, LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) levels are reduced;

- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): IBS is a common chronic gastrointestinal disorder and soluble fiber causes less abdominal pain, bloating/bloating and flatulence;

- Diabetes: Some research suggests that soluble fiber, such as psyllium, can help people with type 2 diabetes control their blood sugar levels.

- Weight control: being a source of soluble fiber, which absorbs water and forms a gel in the digestive tract, consuming psyllium helps to slow down the process of digestion of food, giving the body the possibility to extract more nutrients from food;

- Prebiotic Effect: Prebiotics are non-digestible compounds that nourish intestinal bacteria and help them grow. Researchers believe psyllium has prebiotic effects
