Psyllium husks are pure dietary fiber, composed mostly of hemicellulose. They act as a sponge in the intestinal tract, swelling as they absorb water and waste material in the bowels, hence forming a soft, bulky mass that passes through the colon faster keeping potentially toxic waste from depositing in the colon and passes out smoothly and easily.
AMUCIL Psyllium is used as emollient, demulcent and laxative and in the treatment of chronic Constipation, Amoebic and bacillary dysentery diarrhea. Its action is purely mechanical and is due to large amount of mucilage contained.
