Bio Health Psyllium Husk 400mg - 120 Capsules

Philosophy of the traditional herbalists - "the whole herb for the whole man".

The three species that produce Psyllium husks and seeds grow variously throughout southern Europe, north Africa and Asia, especially India, and are widely cultivated. The fruit which contains small pinkish or brown elliptical seeds is harvested in August or September. Many find the herb valuable when trying a calorie controlled diet.

In addition to its traditional and current use in the support and maintenance of a healthy bowel movements, psyllium was also used in traditional herbal systems of China and India to help support good intestinal health, healthy blood pressure levels, healthy levels of cholesterol and a healthy digestive system.

Psyllium Husk may help maintain and support:

• Healthy bowel movements
• Good intestinal health
• Healthy levels of cholesterol
• Healthy blood sugar levels
• A healthy digestive system

Psyllium is a bulk-forming natural product and is high in both fibre and mucilage. Psyllium seeds contain 10-30% mucilage. The effectiveness of psyllium is due to the swelling of the husk when it comes in contact with water. This forms a gelatinous mass that helps support and maintain healthy bowel movements, provided it is taken with sufficient water.

The herbal ingredients are wherever possible sourced from organic, wild crafted (non-threatened species) or cultivated plants. All the herbal raw materials conform to accepted scientific standards, British Pharmacopoeia, European Pharmacopoeia and British Herbal Pharmacopoeia.
