Psyllium is a fiber grain; however, it is not related to wheat. Psyllium is a natural bulking agent that yields 60 to 70% soluble fiber; eight times that of oat bran. Psyllium expands 50 to 60 times in the stomach to provide this bulk or “roughage”. Fiber is essential for intestinal health. Fiber keeps the digestive tract from getting clogged up with mucus, toxins and metabolic waste. It keeps the colon clean and waste matter moving. Fiber feeds and maintains a healthy intestinal flora.
