Description
Arkocaps® Organic Ispaghula, an organic formula, restoring 100% of the plant's active ingredients.
Ispaghula seed husks promote intestinal transit, by increasing stool volume.
Properties and benefits
Ispaghula's “fibre effect” is particularly appreciated in cases of sluggish transit. The mucilage helps regulate rapid transit.
Today, Ispaghula is used for its properties on intestinal function and transit, but also on cholesterol, as its many fibres help regulate the absorption of dietary fats and, thus, maintain normal cholesterol levels. It also helps boost good cholesterol levels.
Also known as “Indian plantain” or “Blond psyllium”, this plant owes its effectiveness to the envelope surrounding its seeds: on contact with water, this envelope swells, increasing the volume of stools and thus facilitating their evacuation. But to keep its promise, Ispaghula must always be taken with a sufficient quantity of liquid.
Native to India and Pakistan, Ispaghula (Plantago ovata Forssk.) is a 20-40 cm high plant that thrives in relatively poor soil and tolerates both cold and heat. It is the seed coat that is used in phytotherapy.
