Psyllium husk (psyllium)

Description

Psyllium husk is a fantastic and valuable type of water-soluble fiber. Once in your digestive tract, it forms a gel-like mass that binds cholesterol, making it harder for glucose and fats to be absorbed. This has a positive impact on your body weight and cardiovascular health!

Studies show that consuming at least 7 grams of this husk daily helps reduce elevated LDL cholesterol (“bad” cholesterol) levels in your blood.

Psyllium husk doesn’t have a strong taste, so it’s perfect for almost any yogurt, smoothie, kefir, or porridge. Just mix 1-2 teaspoons of the husk into about 300-400 grams of yogurt, then wait 10-15 minutes for it to swell.
