Organic psyllium husks 400g

Packaging unit: 400g

Ingredients: Organic psyllium husks.

The small, two to three millimeter seeds contain mucilage in the seed coat, which swells ten to 20 times with water. This strong swelling capacity makes psyllium seeds an extremely well-tolerated and effective laxative, which leads to easy bowel evacuation with soft stools.

Laxatives of the psyllium type are so suitable because their mucilage is not digested and therefore has two complementary effects: Water is bound by the mucilage, which leads to soft stools, and the swelling leads to a strong increase in volume, which creates a pressure stimulus on the intestinal wall. The result is an improvement in the intestine's own movement (peristalsis). Both mechanisms can be described as absolutely physiological and therefore without side effects. This is why psyllium is one of the laxatives that neither lead to habituation nor cause undesirable effects.

stir 1-2 teaspoons of psyllium husks into 250 ml of liquid (e.g. water, juice, soups, shakes etc.) and drink.
