Psyllium in powder form, by the company Nostos Pure. It is an edible plant fiber that comes from the seeds of the Plantago ovata plant, a plant that grows mainly in India. Essentially, it is a polysaccharide that belongs to the group of arabinoxylans and has prebiotic action. It is also known as a bulking agent, as it can absorb significant amounts of water in its molecule, taking the form of a gel. The simultaneous consumption of water with psyllium results in its expansion within the gastrointestinal tract, increasing motility as well as the peristaltic movements of the intestine. The consumption of psyllium helps regulate the speed of intestinal content passage and fluid absorption. Additionally, as psyllium can absorb gases, it also relieves symptoms of bloating or flatulence. Taking psyllium helps maintain body weight and reduce appetite for food.
