Support for Chronic Constipation (Science-Based) Psyllium husk is a well-known dietary fiber that has been used in traditional medicine for many centuries. The most common use of psyllium is to relieve constipation by increasing stool production and weight, and improving bowel movements and frequency. Psyllium SAP provides high-quality, non-GMO psyllium husk that may help improve gastrointestinal health and relieve constipation.
Adults: Take 1 tablespoon (approximately 8 g) once daily or as directed by your healthcare professional. Start by taking 1 rounded teaspoon (approximately 5 g) daily. As your body adjusts to the increased fiber intake, gradually increase to 1 tablespoon daily. For each gram of psyllium, mix with 40 ml of liquid (water, milk, fruit juice, or similar aqueous beverage). Stir briskly and drink immediately. Maintain adequate fluid intake. Take a few hours before or after taking other medications or natural health products. Take during the day (not immediately before bedtime). The minimum daily dose may be increased, up to the maximum daily dose, until the desired effect is achieved. Effects are seen 12 to 24 hours after the first dose and may take 2 to 3 days.
