Psyllium (Plantago ovata) is a soluble fibre obtained from the plant genus Plantago. This herb is native to North Africa, Asia, and the Mediterranean region. The seed and the outer covering of the seed are used to make drug. Psyllium husk includes a high amount of hemicellulose, composed of a xylan backbone linked with arabinose, rhamnose, and galacturonic acid units. Each herb can produce up to 15000 tiny, gel coated seeds, from which psyllium husk is derived. Every 100 g of psyllium provides 71 g of soluble fiber.
Psyllium is used in human with hemorrhoids, anal fissures, constipation, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, high blood pressure and diabetes. Some researches demonstrate psyllium can reduce total cholesterol by approximately 9 percent, and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol by percent.
Glucose Control
Controlling blood sugar levels is crucial for good health. Adding psyllium husk powder to your diet has been shown to control spikes in blood sugar levels following a meal by reducing the rate of carbohydrate absorption. This can help to reduce the infamous energy crash that usually follows after a carb-heavy meal.
Supports a Healthy Heart
The gel-like fiber created when psyllium absorbs water may also play a substantial role in lowering "bad" LDL cholesterol without affecting "good" HDL cholesterol levels. This incredible mechanism involves psyllium binding to fat and bile acids in the gut, helping the body to excrete them so that they don't clog your arteries (important for preventing the risk of heart disease) or stick to blood vessels.
Promotes Gut Health
As we mentioned a little earlier, psyllium husk has a strong water-holding capacity, forming a viscous gel by absorbing-you guessed it-water. When it absorbs liquid in the digestive system, it swells and stimulates healthy bowel movements. Many docs have found it to relieve constipation, treat diarrhea and IBS, heal ulcerative colitis, and promote regularity.
Plus, since psyllium is prebiotic, it allows the growth of friendly bacteria in the gut, resulting in a stronger immune system to combat bad bacteria, germs, fungi, and viruses.
Simply put, when it comes to gut health, psyllium husk powder reigns supreme as the ultimate supplement to keep everything in working order and running smoothly.
