Many well-designed studies have shown that psyllium relieves constipation. When combined with water, it swells and produces more bulk, which stimulates the intestines to contract and helps speed the passage of stool through the digestive tract. Psyllium is widely used as a laxative in Asia, Europe, and North America. When consumed, psyllium expands due to water in the colon and it forms a gelatinous substance. Then the gel-like substance pushes out the toxins and waste in the body. Capsules should be swallowed whole with a full glass (8 ounces) of water. It is best if you take your doses just after a meal. Never take a dose at bedtime. In addition to easing bowel movements in constipated patients, psyllium husk benefits the gut microbiome — an essential ecosystem of bacteria inside the colon.
