Raw Food Factory Psyllium Husk is a type of fibre, most commonly known as a bulk-forming laxative, that helps relieve constipation, promotes regularity and overall digestive health. As the fibre in psyllium husk absorbs lots of water, it is essential to drink plenty of water so the digestive tract is optimally hydrated. Add 10 grams of psyllium husk to a glass of water, coconut water or juice once per day. The benefits of dietary fibre are greatest when consumed as part of a meal, so it is best to consume just prior to, or in addition to your meals.
