Most of the benefits derive from the presence within them of fibers called mucilage. These, once they reach the intestine, swell, increasing the fecal mass and, therefore, facilitate evacuation. Mucilages are polysaccharides with an emollient and protective effect against the intestinal mucosa. Psyllium Seeds turn out to have such powerful anti-inflammatory properties. Since it is now well known that part of our immune defenses reside in the digestive system, these seeds are effective for purifying the body and strengthening the immune defenses, because thanks to their beneficial action, they manage to nourish the bacterial flora.
