Psyllium

Meaning

Psyllium refers to the husk of the seeds from the Plantago ovata plant, a soluble dietary fiber widely used as a bulk-forming laxative and a general supplement for promoting digestive health. In the domain of hormonal health, psyllium plays a supportive role by modulating the enterohepatic circulation of estrogens and other steroid metabolites. Its ability to bind to bile acids and waste products in the gastrointestinal tract facilitates their elimination, which is a crucial step in the detoxification and clearance of spent hormones, thereby supporting a healthy balance of circulating endocrine compounds.
