Psyllium Husk Powder is high in fibre. The majority of this is soluble fibre which absorbs water in the intestines to form a gel, slowing digestion. Both soluble and insoluble fibre are important and the NHS recommend that we consume 30g of fibre per day. Up to 10g of Psyllium husk can be consumed daily but Linwoods recommend to start at 5g serving and gradually increase the amount over 3 weeks.

SUPPORT REGULAR DIGESTION:
The primary benefit of psyllium husk is its ability to help support normal, regular digestion.

CHOLESTROL SUPPORT:
With around 70% soluble fibre, psyllium can help reduce LDL “bad” cholesterol by binding to bile acids in the digestive system and supporting their removal from the body

BLOOD SUGAR SUPPORT:
By slowing the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, it helps create a more gradual release of glucose into the bloodstream

WEIGHT MANAGEMENT:
When mixed with liquid, psyllium expands to form a soft gel that promotes a natural feeling of fullness. Linwoods recommend at least 300ml of fluid with each 5g serving

Hydration & Digestion:
When consuming fibre rich products like psyllium husk, it's important to drink plenty of water throughout the day (approximately 2–3 litres) to support digestion.

Introducing Linwoods Psyllium Husk to your diet:
If you are new to fibre rich foods, it's best to start with a smaller amount than recommended on pack and gradually increase your intake over time. This helps your digestive system adjust to the higher fibre intake, as consuming too much too quickly may cause discomfort.
Suggested approach:
Begin with a reduced portion for 1–2 weeks, then gradually increase to the full 5g serving as your body adjusts. If you experience any discomfort, reduce your intake and build up more slowly.

Storage instructions:
Store in a cool dry place.
