Soluble fiber is found in many foods, but the unfortunate reality of the standard American diet is that those foods are not always on the menu. A fiber supplement such as Swanson Psyllium Husk Powder can help fill this gap. You may already know how fiber can help promote satiety, bowel regularity, and even maintenance of healthy cholesterol. Now emerging research indicates that it may also work along the gut-brain axis to encourage central nervous system health.
Psyllium is one of nature's best sources of soluble fiber, and organic certification ensures purity and optimum nutritional value. Our fine-milled powder blends well and can be added to foods and beverages for an easy fiber boost. Each serving (just one scoop) provides 4 grams of fiber.
Looking for a Companion to Your GLP-1 Weight Management Journey?
We know fiber is important for a healthy body composition (and more!) but most of us don't get enough. Adequate fiber intake is especially important while on a weight loss plan because it supports a diverse microbiome, bowel regularity and feelings of satiety. These lead to better overall digestive function and comfort, balanced and regular gut activity, healthy blood sugar and blood lipid maintenance and other total-body benefits.
As a source of soluble fiber, psyllium has been shown to help support your body's natural release of the GLP-1 hormone, in addition to promoting feelings of fullness and support for digestive health.1
Adding Fiber to Your Routine? Prime Your Gut for Success
You’re doing right by your body and trying to intake more fiber. Unfortunately too much fiber too soon—or in a microbiome that isn’t ready for it—can lead to digestive discomfort. We want to set you up for success, so here are some tips for adding fiber and sticking with it.
Add fermented foods (think yogurt, sauerkraut or kimchi) to the menu for a couple of weeks. This essentially primes your gut with more abundance and variety of good bacteria species that can then help you break down additional fiber.1
Start with a smaller dose and work your way up. For example, if a serving is two gummies, start with just one; if it’s one capsule three times a day, start with one capsule once a day. Gradually increase until you’re at the full recommended serving.
As always, drink plenty of water throughout the day to support hydration and gut motility.
