Psyllium Husk Extract Powder

Product Name  : Psyllium Husk Extract Powder

Psyllium is an annual, acaulescent herb,  native  to  Asia It is extensively grow worldwide. The seeds are used.Psyllium was also  used topically to treat skin irritations, including poison  ivy  reactions and insect  bites  andstings. In Chinese and Indian  traditional medicines, it is use to treat diarrhea, hemorrhoids, bladder problems, and high blood pressure. Psyllium is  a  bulk-forming  laxative and  is  high  in  both  fiber and mucilage.  Its  seeds  contain  10 – 30 %  mucilage  in  the  form  of arabinoxylans.  The  laxative  properties  of  psyllium are due to the swelling  of  the  husk  when  it  comes in contact  with  water. This forms a gelatinous  mass  and  keeps  the feces hydrated and soft.The  resulting  bulk  stimulates  a  reflex  contraction of  the walls ofthe  bowel,  followed  by  emptying.  Numerous double-blind studies  confirm  psyllium  can lower total cholesterol levels, though high – density  lipoprotein  (HDL)  cholesterol  (a beneficial  form  of cholesterol)  levels  are  not  affected.  It is effective in  children  as well as adults.  Many  people  take  7.5  grams  of  the  seeds  or 5 grams of the  husks  one  to  two times per day, with water or juice.It’s important to maintain adequate fluid intake when using psyllium. Psyllium, also referred to  as  ispaghula,  is derived from the husks of the seeds  of  Plantago  ovata.  Psyllium  contains  a  high  level ofsoluble dietary fiber, and is the chief ingredient in many commonly used bulk laxatives. Psyllium has been studied  as  a  “non-systemic” cholesterol-lowering  agent, with  generally modest effects seen on total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein levels. Several psyllium-containing  cereals   have   been  touted  for  their  potential  lipid lowering  and  “heart  health  promoting”  effects.
