High in soluble and insoluble fibre, psyllium is useful to support regular and healthy bowel habits. When immersed in the intestines soluble fibre increases in volume and swells the amount of intestinal matter. This maintains the smooth movement of waste through the colon. Soluble fibre may also support the rebalancing of cholesterol levels.
Usage
Softens and bulks faecal matter to maintain regular bowel movements. May also support normal blood cholesterol levels.
Dosage
5-6 capsules once daily.
Precautions
Laxatives should not be used when abdominal obstruction or pain, nausea or vomiting are present or for more than one week unless directed by a healthcare professional. If a sudden change in bowel habit that persists over two weeks is experienced, a healthcare professional should be consulted before laxatives are used. Rectal bleeding or failure to move bowels after laxative use may indicate a serious condition. Product use should be discontinued and a healthcare professional consulted. Keep out of reach of children. Take other drug medications at least one hour prior to consumption of psyllium. Caution with poorly controlled diabetes, there may need to be a reduction in the insulin dosage in diabetics who are insulin-dependent. Always ask your product supplier or health professional if there are any specific precautions regarding your use of this or any supplement.
