Description:

Psyllium is a type of soluble fiber derived from the husks of the seeds of the Plantago ovata plant. It is widely used as a natural and effective treatment for constipation. 

Psyllium absorbs water in the digestive tract, forming a gel-like substance. This increases the stool's water content, making it softer and easier to pass.

By increasing stool volume, psyllium stimulates intestinal contractions (peristalsis), which helps move stool through the colon more efficiently.

Psyllium helps normalize stool consistency.
