VITACEL® P Psyllium
A highly functional and natural ingredient with nutritional benefits.
VITACEL® Psyllium is a light beige, partly soluble dietary fiber manufactured under strict quality controls from psyllium seed husks (Plantago ovata). The psyllium seed husks contain a natural mucilage, which has a high affinity to water and thus shows excellent water holding properties.
From a nutritional point of view, fiber helps to optimize metabolism and gut health. Psyllium husks show a higher water binding capacity than most of the other fibers and therefore are recommended to sooth digestive disorders.
High fiber intake has a positive effect on blood sugar levels, digestion, the immune system and the neuronal network between gut and brain and thus also on mood. This way diet-related diseases can also be prevented.
