Description
Bonvit Psyllium Husk is 100% pure psyllium husk, milled to an oral powder with nothing added: no sugar, no additives, no flavours and no colours. Psyllium husk comes from the seed of the Plantago plant, and Bonvit has imported it from India since the early 1970s. In liquid the husk swells into a soft gel rather than the coarse texture of bran, and it is naturally gluten free, which suits low carbohydrate eating. Stir a measured serve briskly into a glass of cool water or fruit juice and drink it straight away to add soluble dietary fibre to the day.
Product Strengths
- Adds soluble dietary fibre to the daily diet.
- Stirred into cool water or fruit juice and drunk straight away.
- If it is left to stand it sets to a gel, which can be eaten or mixed through yoghurt, fruit or breakfast cereal.
- 100% pure psyllium husk, with no sugar, no additives and no added flavours.
- Gluten free, and free from yeast, corn, starch and milk derivatives.

Warnings
Use only as directed. Do not take it if you have difficulty swallowing. Do not use it when abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting is present. It is essential that psyllium is taken with sufficient fluid; taken without enough fluid it can swell and obstruct the throat or oesophagus. If you experience difficulty breathing, chest or abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting after taking it, seek medical advice. Laxatives and high fibre diets may affect the absorption of some medicines. If symptoms persist, talk to your health professional. Keep out of reach of children.
