Psyllium: Discover 3 fantastic benefits

Discover 3 fantastic benefits

• Stimulates bowel function and bowel movement
• The ideal way to increase fiber intake
• Works well as a substitute for gluten

A healthy gut function is essential for optimal health and to prevent issues such as constipation. Psyllium fibers support gut function, protect the intestinal wall, and help prevent both constipation and diarrhea. If you feel bloated, constipated, or are experiencing the opposite, take some psyllium powder to relieve your stomach.

Additionally, psyllium is the ideal way to increase fiber intake. Adding 1 to 2 teaspoons per day can help provide a quick and efficient solution for fiber deficiencies in our diet. Especially for those following a low-carbohydrate diet, it is important to monitor daily fiber intake.

*Tip: psyllium works well as a gluten substitute for baking.
Use about two tablespoons of psyllium for 250 grams of flour. This adds strength and volume to bread.

Use

The average recommended dosage for psyllium fibers is 5 g in 200 ml of water or smoothie before meals. You can take a dosage twice a day.
