Psyllium husk powder is a soluble fiber from Plantago ovata seeds. Mixing it with liquid creates a gel that moves through the gut.
People take it daily, stirred into water or juice, to support regular bowel movements. The gel also helps maintain blood sugar and cholesterol levels that are already in the normal range, especially when paired with a balanced diet.
Always drink plenty of fluids with psyllium to avoid choking or intestinal blockage. Take it at least two hours apart from medications so absorption stays unhindered.
