Frequently Asked Questions

How does psyllium husk support cholesterol levels?

Psyllium husk is a soluble fibre that forms a viscous gel in the digestive tract, which can bind to bile acids and cholesterol and assist in their excretion. This process may help support healthy cholesterol levels already within the normal range as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol.

Can psyllium husk help with constipation and diarrhoea?

Yes — psyllium husk is a bulk-forming fibre that absorbs water in the gut, adding bulk to stool and supporting normal bowel movements. It is commonly used to support both constipation and diarrhoea by helping to normalise stool consistency and regularity.

Why is it important to drink plenty of water with psyllium?

Psyllium absorbs water and expands significantly in the digestive tract. Without adequate fluid intake, it may cause bloating, discomfort, or in rare cases a blockage. Always take psyllium with at least 250ml of water and maintain good hydration throughout the day.

Is NOW Psyllium Husk Powder suitable for vegans?

Yes, NOW Psyllium Husk Powder is derived from plant seeds and is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. It is produced without animal-derived ingredients under strict GMP quality standards.
