What is psyllium husk fibre

Psyllium fibre is a soluble fibre from the seed of the Plantago psyllium plant — related to plantain. The fibre holds a lot of water and swells in the gastrointestinal tract. As a soluble fibre it is part of the palette of dietary fibres in a varied diet. Psyllium husk fibre supports a regular bowel movement and helps to soften the stool.* *Health claims pending European authorisation.

Capsule or powder

Capsules are especially handy on the go, or for anyone who would rather not stir. For anyone who wants to build up to higher doses, psyllium is also available as a powder — more economical and easier to dose in larger quantities.

Dosage

• Standard: 3 capsules, 1 to 2 times a day, before the meal, with a large glass of water
• Drink a second glass of water immediately afterwards
• Do not take just before going to sleep, and not in case of swallowing problems or a narrowing of the oesophagus or bowel
• Drink plenty of fluid throughout the day — fibre only works well in combination with enough water
• Or as advised by your practitioner or doctor

Suitable for

Vegetarians and vegans. Free from milk, soya, maize, gluten and animal products. In case of known allergies, medication use, pregnancy or breastfeeding, consult your practitioner first.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place — not in the refrigerator. Keep out of reach of young children.
