Psyllium Whole Husks - 12 oz. Yerba Prima

How Does it Work?
Psyllium Husks are a concentrated source of dietary fiber, composed mostly of hemicellulose. They are not ingested in your small intestine, but are partially broken down in your colon, where they act as a food source for friendly flora. Mostly, they act as a sponge in your intestinal tract, swelling as they absorb water, toxins, and waste materials. This forms a soft, bulky mass that passes through your colon more quickly and evacuates more smoothly and easily.

Powerful Dietary Fiber
Yerba Prima Psyllium Husks Powder may be the strongest natural dietary fiber for promoting bowel regularity and supporting your heart health. Millions of people depend on daily Psyllium Husks supplements to help maintain normal cholesterol, including a proper balance of HDL and LDL cholesterol, in addition to promoting normal regularity. Unlike stimulant laxatives, Psyllium Husks are gentle and non-habit-forming, but they have bulking action that makes elimination easier and more comfortable. What’s more, this supplement has been shown to sweep waste and toxins from your body quickly, so they are not reabsorbed from your colon back into your bloodstream. Many people who are on high-protein, low-carbohydrate diets experience constipation, and healthcare professionals are increasingly recommending that these people add Psyllium Husks to their daily regimens.

A Normalizing Effect
People vary widely in their responses to fiber supplements, but Yerba Prima Psyllium Husks have most often had a normalizing effect. In other words, if you have loose stools, this supplement will help add bulk to bring them back to normal, while if you experience hard or infrequent stools, the fiber from Psyllium Husks will help add moisture and bulk to bring them toward normal. A fiber supplement generally is most helpful in promoting your intestinal health when it’s used on a daily basis.

Maintain Nutrient Absorption
Studies indicate that Psyllium Husks do not impair nutrient absorption when used at recommended dosing. Yerba Prima Psyllium Husks can be taken either with or between meals, and they’re gluten-free for use by those with gluten sensitivities. Most people begin to notice larger, easier-to-evacuate bowel movements within 2-3 days, though it may take a few days longer for some people.
