Psyllium is rich in Fiber, the mucilages concentrated in the husk in contact with water increase in weight forming a gel that promotes normal stool volume and consistency. In addition, it has a prebiotic effect, so it selectively promotes the growth and activity of one or more bacteria already present in the intestinal tract.

Useful information
What is Psillyum?
Psyllium is a plant that is increasingly used for its beneficial properties. The term ‘psyllium’ is used to indicate that the plant belongs to the Plantaginaceae family, and it comes mainly from India. The value of this plant is most certainly to be found mainly in the coating of its seeds. The cuticles that cover the seeds of this plant are rich in soluble fibre having beneficial properties for the digestive system.
The Psyllium Plant
Psyllium is a medicinal plant belonging to the Plantaginaceae family whose scientific name is Plantago ovata. Widespread throughout the Mediterranean basin, Middle East and especially India, it is an annual herbaceous plant that prefers semi-sandy soils. Medium in size, it can reach 50 cm in height and has characteristic small, yellow flowers. Its seeds, which boast soothing and softening mucilages, are used in a range of different treatments. The plant is harvested in March and April, while the season is still dry and the morning dew is just beginning to disappear.
Psyllium’s Benefits
