Psyllium Husk Isabgol ispaghula
Psyllium Seed Husk Fiber Psyllium is a form of fiber made from the
husks of the Plantago ovata plants seeds. It sometimes goes by the
name ispaghula.
Its most commonly known as a laxative. However, research shows that
taking psyllium is beneficial to many parts of the human body,
including the heart and the pancreas.
Psyllium is a robust herb that grows around the world but is most
commonly found in India, which remains the largest producer of
psyllium husk today. It is also referred to as Isabghol , derived
from the Sanskrit words asp and ghol, together meaning horse
flower. The whole seed has been used in traditional medicine
for hundreds of years.
The inner seed contains many starches and fatty acids, making it an
excellent natural additive for animal feed. The outer coat (the
husk) is ground down into mucilage, a term describing clear,
colorless, gelatinous dietary fiber that confers the majority of
health benefits in both humans and animals
Not only does it have health benefits, but its gel-like character
makes it a popular addition to foods to produce desired thickening
and texture
