(Price includes VAT)

Psyllium is a powder derived from the dried seeds of the Plantago ovata plant and is primarily composed of soluble dietary fibers. It contains eight times more soluble fibers than oat bran. The Psyllium capsules available at Herbstore.gr are RAW, having undergone no thermal processing above 45°C.

Like other soluble fibers, psyllium has the ability to absorb a large amount of water and form a gel-like substance. It passes through the small intestine without significant absorption, which is responsible for its positive effects on the body. It aids in constipation, blood sugar levels, blood pressure, cholesterol, and may even support weight loss.

Properties:

Reduces Cholesterol: Soluble dietary fibers help manage cholesterol levels. Psyllium binds with dietary fats and bile acids, aiding their excretion. This process prompts the liver to use more blood cholesterol, leading to lower levels. In a study, participants experienced a 6% reduction in LDL (bad) cholesterol after daily consumption of 6g of psyllium for six weeks. Additionally, it may help increase HDL (good) cholesterol levels.

Improves Heart Health: All types of dietary fibers benefit heart health. According to the American Heart Association, fibers can reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. Soluble fibers, including psyllium, can lower blood triglycerides and blood pressure. A 2020 review found that psyllium could reduce systolic blood pressure by 2.04 mmHg, recommending it for hypertension management.

Regulates Blood Glucose: Individuals with diabetes need to maintain a healthy insulin balance and blood sugar levels. Research indicates that dietary fibers can help sustain a healthy glycemic balance, especially soluble fibers. A study showed that individuals with type 2 diabetes and constipation who took 3-4 psyllium capsules daily experienced improvements in constipation, body weight, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels.

Relieves Constipation Symptoms: Psyllium can alleviate painful symptoms related to constipation. Its water-absorbing properties form a gel-like mass, acting as a natural bulk laxative. It softens stools as long as sufficient water is consumed, preventing complications such as hemorrhoids and anal fissures. Studies indicate that psyllium is more effective than wheat bran in increasing stool moisture, weight, and overall bowel movement frequency.

Supports Weight Loss: Fibers like psyllium can help control appetite and promote weight loss by slowing gastric emptying. This can theoretically lead to reduced calorie intake throughout the day.
