Psyllium is a bulk forming laxative. It works by increasing stool size and helping relieve constipation. Initially, it works by binding to partially digested food that is passing from the stomach into the small intestine. It then helps with the absorption of water, which increase the size and moisture of stools. The end product is bigger and easier-to-pass stools.
Psyllium can relieve diarrhea. It does this by acting as a water absorbing agent. It can increase stool thickness and slow down its passage through the colon.
Taking fibre supplements can help control the body’s glycaemic response to a meal, such as reducing insulin and blood sugar levels. This is particularly the case with water soluble fibres such as psyllium.
Fibers that form viscous compounds, including psyllium, can help control appetite and aid weight loss. Psyllium may aid appetite control by slowing down stomach emptying and reducing appetite. Decreased appetite and calorie intake may support weight loss.
Psyllium binds to fat and bile acids, helping the body to excrete them. In the process of replacing these lost bile acids, the liver uses cholesterol to produce more. As a result, blood cholesterol levels decrease.
Prebiotics are nondigestible compounds that nourish intestinal bacteria and helps them grow.
