Psyllium seed husk is a partially fermented dietary fibre from Plant ago ovata that increases stool weight and promotes laxation by its presence in stool and by increasing the moisture content of stool (5-8). Psyllium husks are used to relieve constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, diverticular contamination, and diarrhea. They are used as a regular dietary supplement to improve and maintain regular GI transit.
