Psyllium Seeds
Psyllium seeds are a type of mucilaginous seed used for centuries in India and the Middle East. They are sometimes called “British flax” or “gumboot gums.”
Psyllium seeds are derived from the plant Plantago ovata, an herb that we harvest and cultivate in tropical areas of India.
The main ingredient in psyllium is soluble fiber, which absorbs water from the digestive system and passes through the body without being digested. It helps you feel full after eating less food, which can help you lose weight.
Common Names
