Psyllium Powder ECO 200gr

  • Psyllium is grown in northwestern India and has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years. The cascabillo of psyllium seeds is composed almost exclusively of hemi-cellulose that acts in the intestine like a sponge, gives consistency to feces, stimulates peristalsis. The mucilage and fiber of Psyllium can, in case of constipation, allow the faecal matter to slip. It is an excellent non-caloric source of soluble fibers (eight times better than oat bran).
     
    Tips on how to take Psyllium
     
    ** It should be taken by mixing a teaspoon of Psyllium in liquid or aqueous substances such as: water, juice, soup, coffee, stew etc ... stir until there is a uniform mixture And drink immediately.
    ** Then drink another glass of liquid. Because Psyllium is an absorbent fiber that extracts fluids from the intestine, it is recommended to stay hydrated during treatment.
    ** In some cases it can cause gas, which is normal since our body has a period of adaptation, if this is the case; We recommend lowering the dose and drinking lots of water. If the symptom persists, stop completely to resume it very progressively.
    ** In general, it starts with small doses. One teaspoon of coffee per day and gradually increasing until you find your optimal dose, The daily dose will depend on your need and response. The medical body states that the overdose is "unlikely." It is only necessary to drink enough water to route the psyllium well into the stomach. Everyone must find their optimum amount based on the results obtained. According to the European Medicines Agency, the effective dose can reach 30 or 40 gr. of psyllium per day, which corresponds to two tablespoons 3 times a day (EMEA 2006b)
    ** It can be taken at the time of day that you want as long as it does not match any medication; You can also take it before meals if you want to lose weight, as it is an excellent short natural hunger.
    ** If you are taking other medications, such as minerals (calcium, iron, lithium, zinc), vitamins (vitamin B12), medications to prevent blood clotting (called coumarin derivatives) or drugs for the treatment of heart disease of the type of so-called digitalis, you should take Psyllium 1 hour before or after ingestion of your medicine. since the fiber could hinder its absorption.
    ** You should not take Psyllium if you are taking diarrhea drugs or drugs that prevent bowel motility (such as diphenoxylate, loperamide, opiates), because a bowel obstruction may occur.
