Organic Psyllium (Plantago Ovata Forssk)

Organic psyllium (Plantago ovata Forssk) is an herbaceous plant native to India and the Mediterranean basin, cultivated primarily for its seeds and their husks. These husks are rich in soluble, mucilaginous fibres, well known for their ability to absorb water and form a viscous gel within the digestive tract. Its properties are well documented: psyllium contributes to maintaining regular intestinal transit, helps increase the volume of the food bolus and supports a feeling of fullness. It also contributes to maintaining normal cholesterol levels when consumed as part of a balanced diet. Its low glycaemic index makes it a valuable ingredient for regulating postprandial blood sugar levels. Organic psyllium supplementation is of particular interest for those looking to support their daily digestive comfort, especially when dietary fibre intake is insufficient. The organic certification guarantees cultivation without synthetic pesticides, ensuring a traceable, quality ingredient.
