Fibre to the rescue

PSYLLIUM comes from the crushed seeds of the Plantago ovata plant, an herb that is native to parts of Asia, the Mediterranean regions of Europe and North Africa. Psyllium is widely used as a fibre source. The psyllium husk is obtained by milling the seed of Plantago ovata to remove the hulls. For centuries, traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic physicians have used the seeds and leaves to treat diarrhoea, haemorrhoids, constipation and urinary problems.  

Its healing properties is based on the concept that if waste products are expelled from the colon, the body is allowed to gain better health, which in turn aids in all bodily areas.
