About Fiber

Fiber essentially comes from vegetables, fruits, grains, legumes, and nuts. Fiber contains roughage that helps to ward off inflammation throughout the body and helps to push waste through the intestines. There are two different kinds of fiber: soluble and insoluble. Fiber does a great job of keeping your digestive system moving and in good working order. Additionally, fiber helps with promoting bowel movement regularity and preventing constipation. Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include 7 grams of soluble fiber per day from psyllium husk, as in Naturlax®, may reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering cholesterol.
Soluble fiber is a form of fiber that that is able to be absorbed into the body. This type of fiber can absorb water, swell, ferment, and become a viscous, gel-like substance. Examples of soluble fiber include foods like Naturlax® Psyllium Fiber, whole grains, vegetables and fruit, nuts and seeds, and cereal. Insoluble fiber is a form of fiber that is does not absorb any water. This type of fiber consists of bulk that does not get digested on its trip through the digestive tract. Examples of insoluble foods include beans and legumes, wheat bran and germ, barley, vegetables, and some fruits.
It is generally agreed upon that fiber is an invaluable part of a healthy diet. People are generally not getting enough daily fiber, which can have consequences to your health. Fiber isn’t just for passing your stool easier. It helps clean your intestines of toxins and build up.

It is recommended to get anywhere from 25 grams to 35 grams of fiber each day, depending on your age and gender. The western diet has unfortunately lost track of fiber’s importance within the body, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late.

Consumption

You can mix Naturlax® psyllium husk powder in nearly any non-carbonated beverage. Liquids like water, almond milk, coconut milk, rice milk, juice, and coconut water work great and you can additionally incorporate Naturlax® into smoothie recipes as well. Stir with a spoon or shake in a sealable container. You should, however, avoid mixing Naturlax® with hot beverages like coffee and tea because psyllium thickens at a more rapid pace.
Yes! We encourage it actually. Fiber is wonderful for our bodies and it’s important to get enough fiber to keep our bodies in tip-top condition. Fiber keeps us healthy, fiber cleans us from the inside out, and fiber keeps us feeling full.

Yes. Psyllium husk powder is safe for adults and children, we actually have a category of our flavored fiber for kids. However, we suggest that children take a smaller amount of psyllium husk powder per dosage. Children should have half the serving as an adult.
Yes, but ONLY our 'Pure' psyllium husk powder product, as it does not contain any sweeteners that pets simply can't metabolize. Just as you would not feed chocolate to your dog, which is perfectly safe for humans to eat, we wouldn't give them our flavored psyllium products because it is intended for human consumption.
Psyllium husk powder can be used as an egg replacement for all your gluten-free, vegan foods and baked goods. Because it is unsweetened and unflavored, our ‘Pure’ variety of Naturlax® Psyllium Powder can be added to your favorite cake, bread, and pancake recipes, too. Since psyllium binds with moisture, it’s essentially able to bind with the wet ingredients in a recipe (like water, milk, or eggs) and create a bond that is similar to that of gluten. Since psyllium is a clear, colorless, gelling agent, their binding properties go generally unnoticed when mixed with other ingredients. Naturlax® can also be incorporated into many homemade ice cream and frozen dessert recipes to create a natural thickener. Adding psyllium into your recipes is an easy way to increase your daily fiber intake.
