Blond psyllium 100g
Main benefits
-
Regulation of intestinal transit: Thanks to its soluble fibers that absorb water, it forms a non-irritating gel that helps combat both constipation (by softening stools) and diarrhea (by absorbing excess water).
-
Natural appetite suppressant: By swelling with water in the stomach, it provides a rapid feeling of satiety, which helps regulate appetite as part of a weight loss or maintenance plan.
-
Cholesterol reduction: Psyllium fibers bind to fats and cholesterol in the digestive tract, promoting their elimination and helping to maintain a healthy blood LDL level.
-
Blood sugar balance: It slows down the absorption of carbohydrates after meals, thereby preventing blood sugar spikes, which is particularly beneficial for diabetic or pre-diabetic individuals.
-
Protection of the intestinal lining: Its emollient action soothes the intestinal walls, which is very useful in cases of sensitive or irritable bowels (irritable bowel syndrome).
How to consume it correctly?
-
Start gradually: Introduce small amounts (for example, one teaspoon per day) to allow the digestive system to get used to the fiber.
-
Drink plenty of water: This is imperative. Psyllium needs water to swell. Always consume it mixed in a large glass of water (or juice), followed by a second glass of water, to avoid any risk of intestinal obstruction.
-
Timing: For satiety, take it about 30 minutes before meals. For transit regulation, it can be taken in the morning on an empty stomach or in the evening.
Precautions: Due to its effect on absorption, it is recommended to leave an interval of at least 1 to 2 hours between taking psyllium and taking medication so as not to reduce their effectiveness.
