Psyllium Powder, 454g

Add to Wishlist
 

Psyllium powder maintains colon and GI health by encouraging normal peristalsis and bowel motility. Vegan Friendly.

Supports 

  • Nutrients: fibre, prebiotics
  • Digestion: constipation, diarrhea
  • Health: cholesterol

Feature Ingredients 

  • Psyllium hull and seeds – the husks promote bowel motility while the seeds help to form a gel to “scrub” the intestinal lining clean and reduces toxic overload when used for a candida or bowel restoration protocol.

Dietary Fibre refers to the edible parts of plants or carbohydrates that cannot be digested. Fibre is in all plant foods, including fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes. You can also find a form of fiber called chitin in the shells of crustaceans such as crab, lobster, and shrimp

For an average adult (from 18 to 50 years old), the best way to consume the recommended 25-38 grams of fibre per day is through a healthy diet, but that may not always be possible. If you can’t reach the recommended daily amount of fibre through food alone, taking fibre supplements or adding them to foods and beverages is one way to fill the gap.

Fibre can be divided into soluble and insoluble fibre depending on how they dissolve in water.

  • Soluble fibre blends with water in the gut, forming a gel-like substance. It slows digestion, helps you absorb nutrients from food, it can reduce blood sugar spikes, and has various metabolic health benefits. Most plant foods contain some of each kind of fiber. Foods containing high levels of soluble fiber include dried beans, oats, oat bran, rice bran, barley, citrus fruits, apples, strawberries, peas, and potatoes. Soluble fibre’s also include gums, pectins, psyllium, beta-glucans and others.
  • Insoluble fibre does not blend with the water and passes through the digestive system mostly intact. It functions mostly as a "bulking" agent and may help speed the passage of food and waste through your gut. Foods high in insoluble fiber include wheat bran, whole grains, cereals, seeds, and the skins of many fruits and vegetables. Insoluble fibers also include lignin and cellulose.
  • Psyllium is a soluble fibre that provides prebiotics to the digestive flora.
  • When combined with caprylic acid, psyllium is a key element in obtaining the needed gelled consistency, which slowly moves caprylic acid through the intestinal tract. Most Psyllium products are husks only and sold solely for their laxative effect. This husks-only Psyllium possesses minimal intestinal cleansing action. The seeds, even when crushed into a powder, still retain tiny granules, which scrape away the accumulated fecal build-up on the colon wall. The husks absorb water and form the gel, retarding the passage of the fungicidal caprylic acid.
    This Psyllium product uses the dual benefits of both Psyllium seeds and husks.
    *Psyllium forms the gel, which gradually, gently scrapes away the Candida breeding ground (plaquing of fecal matter), from the intestinal wall.
    *Psyllium forms the gel which reduces toxic overload by absorbing toxins released by dying Candida.
    *Psyllium forms the gel which binds Caproyl into a timed-release form. Taking Caproyl alone will result in very little anti-Candida activity since most of the caprylic acid will leave the intestinal tract very quickly.
