Psyllium Hulls

There are two types of fibre which perform important functions within the body. Insoluble fibre sweeps the intestines clean of waste material. Soluble fibre binds with fatty acids and prolongs stomach emptying time so that sugar is released more slowly. Between them they bring many health benefits to the digestive and circulatory systems. Research has shown that taking soluble fibre can help people manage their cholesterol levels. Proper cholesterol regulation is important for everyone, but vital for people over the age of 50. High cholesterol is merely one way a bad diet can affect your heart. Numerous studies have shown that fibre like psyllium, taken as part of a healthy diet, can help lower a person’s risk of heart disease.

 

Nature's Sunshine's encapsulated psyllium hulls are a convenient way to add important fibre to the daily diet. Psyllium is a form of fibre made from the husks of the Plantago ovata plant’s seeds. It has the highest level of soluble fibre known, more than eight times that of oat bran. The high-quality fibre in psyllium hulls can play an important part in helping the body maintain a healthy cardiovascular system.
