The effect and function of Psyllium husk powder

1. Runchang defecation

The seeds of Psyllium are available. The Active ingredient is the polysaccharide molecule in the seed coat, called Arabynoxylan. This very special polysaccharide molecule can quickly absorb water, forming a transparent paste substance. The absorption of water in the small intestine forms a paste like mass, which can improve the lubrication conditions between feces and the intestinal wall, promote defecation speed, and therefore Psylium has been used since ancient times to moisten bowel movements. It has the effect of losing weight.

2. Cardiovascular disease

For many obese people, heart disease is the main health risk, which is caused by high LDL cholesterol. Eating high fiber foods can lower LDL cholesterol, so eating high fiber foods is valuable for preventing heart disease.

Soluble round bud plantain fiber has the effect of reducing blood cholesterol. Dissolving fiber in the seed shell of Plantago rotundifolia can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

3. Intestinal function

Round bud plantain fiber can be used to prevent/treat constipation or diarrhea. It can fully absorb water, increase its volume to excretable masses, increase intestinal peristalsis, reduce the transportation time of feces in the intestine, and gradually become regular.

4. Preventing the incidence of colon cancer and other gastrointestinal diseases

A large amount of data shows that fiber can not only prevent gastrointestinal diseases, but also prevent some fatal diseases. Research reports indicate that a lack of fiber in the diet can increase the time food residue stays in the intestine, while increasing the generation of carcinogenic factors and their contact time with the intestinal mucosa, which can easily lead to the risk of colorectal cancer or other diseases.

Fibrosis can alter the type and number of gut microbiota. In addition, the seed fiber of Plantago rotundifolia also plays the role of Antidote. By absorbing a large amount of water and other harmful substances, the volume of feces is increased, causing heavy metals and other harmful chemical toxins to be adsorbed in fecal clumps, thereby reducing the concentration of carcinogens or harmful substances; At the same time, it promotes intestinal peristalsis, accelerates its excretion, and reduces the time of contact with the intestinal wall mucosa. Therefore, it can prevent or reduce the incidence of intestinal diseases such as colon cancer and colitis.

5. Diabetes Blood Glucose Control

Round bud plantain fiber helps to control the increase in blood sugar after meals.

6. Diverticulitis/Diverticulitis

Plantago rotundifolia seed fiber can increase the volume of substances reaching the colon, increase the peristalsis of the intestine, and reduce the pressure on the Gastrointestinal wall. This regulatory effect helps to reduce the symptoms of Diverticulitis and even prevent the onset of Diverticulitis.

7. Weight Control

As the seed shell of Plantago rotundifolia contains rich water-soluble fibers, it will expand to form dozens of times of gel when encountering water, which can increase satiety, but will not provide heat, and reduce heat intake.
