Promotes Regularity Supports Heart Health Colon Cleanser
General Statements: All Other Content
BENEFITS: Psyllium Whole Husks is an economically priced colon cleansing dietary fiber for promoting regularity and supporting heart health.
General Statements: All Other Content
There are many reasons why psyllium husks are a part of daily health maintenance for millions of people. Extensive research has shown that psyllium husks help maintain healthy cholesterol levels, including a proper balance of HDL and LDL cholesterol. In addition, psyllium husks help promote normal regularity. Unlike stimulant laxatives, psyllium husks are gentle and are not habit forming. Psyllium husks' bulking action makes elimination easier and more comfortable. At the same time, psyllium sweeps waste and toxins more quickly out of the body, so toxins are not reabsorbed from the colon back into the bloodstream.
