Psyllium is a form of fiber made from the Plantago ovata plant, specifically from the husks of the plant’s seed. It sometimes goes by the name ispaghula.
It’s most commonly known as a laxative. Research shows that psyllium has many benefits to the human body, from your heart to your pancreas.
Benefits:
This medication is used to treat constipation. It increases the bulk in your stool, an effect that helps to cause movement of the intestines. It also works by increasing the amount of water in the stool, making the stool softer and easier to pass.
Psyllium, one type of bulk-forming laxative, has also been used along with a proper diet to treat high cholesterol.
