What is Fibre (Psyllium husks)?
Psyllium husk is a bulk forming soluble fibre. It is sometimes referred to as “colon broom” as it cleanses the colon and intestines of putrefactive toxins. It acts as a sponge in the intestinal tract by absorbing water and waste materials in the bowel, creating a larger softer stool which is easier to pass through colon. It contains low calories and creates a feeling of fullness, hence helping to curb appetite, thereby minimize intake of calories and reduce your body weight indirectly.
