Fibre for health
Fibre is a key part of our dietary intake to ensure we maintain a healthy bowel. Not eating enough fibre can lead to digestive problems such as constipation and other chronic digestive disorders.
Why Psyllium Husks?
Psyllium husks are known to maintain normal bowel transit by absorbing many times their weight as well as producing a viscous gel that ensures a smooth transit throughout the digestive tract.
Suitable for:
• Maintaining a healthy, regular bowel.
• Irritable bowel syndrome.
Ingredients
- Psyllium husks (Plantago Ovata)
Take psyllium husks at least 30 minutes before a meal.
Adults: Take 1-2 heaped teaspoons mixed with water or juice once or twice daily (5-10g) and consume immediately. This should then be followed by a further glass of water. We recommend starting with a low dose and building up gradually to suit the individual.
Children: Half the adult dose with parental supervision. Parents should seek the guidance of a medical practitioner before giving Psyllium husks to children under 11 years.

If at any time you experience discomfort after taking psyllium husks, reduce dosage or stop taking and seek medical advice.
