Psyllium husks are known to maintain normal bowel transit by absorbing many times their weight as well as producing a viscous gel that ensures a smooth transit throughout the digestive tract.
Fibre is a key part of our dietary intake to ensure we maintain a healthy bowel. Not eating enough fibre can lead to digestive problems such as
constipation and other chronic digestive disorders.
Suitable for:
• Maintaining a healthy, regular bowel.
• Irritable bowel.
Ingredients: Psyllium husks (Plantago ovata forsk), Gelatin capsule.
Directions for use: For best results, take Psyllium husks at least 30 minutes away from food.
Adults: Take 2 - 8 capsules once or twice daily, followed by 2 - 3 glasses of water or juice.
Children: 2 - 5 capsules once or twice daily with at least 1 glass of water. The capsules can be opened and the contents poured into water or juice if preferred. Parents should seek the guidance of a medical practitioner before giving Psyllium husks to children under 11 years.
After two weeks, for some people, the number of Psyllium husk capsules taken daily can be reduced.
Please note: Taking Psyllium husks without water can cause choking. Always aim to consume 200 -250ml of liquid with every 5 capsules.
