Vilgain Organic Psyllium – soluble fibre for normal digestive and intestinal function
Vilgain Psyllium BIO - soluble fibre for normal digestive and intestinal function
Psyllium is a soluble fibre that is obtained by cleaning and then grinding the seed coat of Indian plantain seeds. Vilgain Psyllium is 98% pure, sourced from India and is also of organic quality.
How does psyllium work inside our body?
Psyllium has great absorption capabilities. Studies [1, 2] describe its mechanism as follows: it swells in liquid and forms a soft gel that absorbs liquids. In the digestive tract, it increases its volume, giving us a feeling of satiety and making it suitable for enriching meals, for example, during weight‑reduction diets.
Food for beneficial intestinal bacteria
In addition to the benefits mentioned above, psyllium also acts as a prebiotic, i.e. food for beneficial gut bacteria, otherwise known as probiotics, and promotes their growth.
Who is psyllium good for and who should avoid it?
Fibre is generally deficient in the Western diet, so psyllium is suitable for virtually everyone. It is especially appreciated by people who want to support normal digestive and intestinal function. Conversely, it is definitely not suitable for young children under 3 years of age. Although it is an all‑natural product, pregnant women should consult a doctor regarding the use and dosage of psyllium.
Drinking is essential when taking psyllium
It is important for the proper functioning of psyllium that you also follow a drinking regime. Adequate fluid intake will ensure that psyllium swells and forms a gel in the body, allowing it to perform its beneficial functions.
