Psyllium Husks Powder
Brand: Yerba Prima
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
The primary active ingredient, Psyllium, is a soluble dietary fiber. Upon ingestion, it absorbs water in the gut, transforming into a viscous gel. This gel formation slows gastric emptying and increases stool bulk. At a cellular level, it binds to bile acids, aiding in their excretion and prompting the liver to use cholesterol to produce more. This process supports healthy lipid levels and regulates water absorption in the intestines for consistent bowel movements.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Promotes regularity and relieves occasional constipation
- Supports heart health by maintaining cholesterol levels
- Aids in weight management by increasing satiety
- Helps maintain stable blood sugar levels
- Provides gentle, bulk-forming fiber support
Usage & Safety
Mix 1 serving (5 grams) with at least 8 ounces of liquid. Drink immediately and follow with another glass of water. Best taken before meals to aid satiety. Safety Interaction: Do not take within 1 to 2 hours of prescription medications, as it may affect absorption. Consult a health professional if under a doctor's care.
