Nature’s Sunshine Psyllium Hulls Combo is from a mucilaginous herb whose tiny flea-shaped seeds (Greek – ‘psylla’ means flea) can swell up to 14 times their original size when soaked in water.
Psyllium hulls, also called husks, are the outer coverings of psyllium seeds, containing the majority of the bulking mucilage complex carbohydrates that expand, becoming gelatinous when soaked in water.
Psyllium hulls act like a colon “broom,” cleansing the intestines as it comes in contact with the walls of the intestines.
Psyllium hulls contain the highest level of soluble fiber of any natural grain, eight times as much as oat bran. Natures Sunshine Psyllium Hulls Combination has psyllium hulls, hibiscus flower, and licorice root powder.
