Introduction:
There are many effects of psyllium husk powder, the most important reason is that it is made of psyllium after grinding and processing. Generally, psyllium husk powder is used as a weight loss and laxative drink.
The most important effect of psyllium powder is to moisten the intestines and defecate. It absorbs water in the small intestine to form a paste-like mass, which can improve the lubricating conditions of the feces and the intestinal wall, and promote the speed of defecation. Therefore, Psyllium has been used for defecation since ancient times.
In this way, it can also achieve the effect of weight control. Since psyllium swells in contact with water, it can increase satiety and reduce people's appetite. The active ingredient of psyllium husk is a polysaccharide molecule called Arabynoxylan. Since the lily shell is rich in water-soluble fiber, it will swell to form dozens of times of gel mass when exposed to water, which can increase satiety without providing calories and reducing calorie intake.
