FAQs

Psyllium husk fiber is a plant-based fiber that provides multiple health benefits when added to your daily routine:

• Promotes digestive health and regularity: Acts as a natural bulk-forming fiber, making bowel movements more regular and comfortable.
  
  
• Supports heart health: Helps support healthy LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels when used as part of a heart-healthy diet.
  
  
• Helps support normal blood sugar levels: Slows the absorption of sugars after meals, helping to support blood glucose and metabolic health.
  
  
• Aids in appetite control and weight management: Creates a feeling of fullness (satiety), which may help curb overeating and support healthy weight goals.
  
  

With its unique ability to gently support gut, heart, and metabolic health, psyllium husk fiber is one of the best all-around fibers you can add to your wellness journey.

When taking psyllium husk fiber for constipation relief, you can generally expect it to start working within 72 hours. The exact timing can vary depending on factors such as diet, hydration levels, consistency of use, and individual digestive health.

For best results and to promote regularity, it’s important to take psyllium consistently and drink plenty of fluids with each dose (at least one full glass of water). Adequate hydration helps the fiber form a gel and supports healthy movement through your digestive system.

Naturlax, being a psyllium husk product, is primarily a source of soluble fiber, although it also contains a smaller amount of insoluble fiber. Psyllium husk naturally consists of approximately 70–80% soluble fiber and 20–30% insoluble fiber. This unique combination gives it both gel-forming properties (which help with cholesterol, blood sugar, and stool softness) and stool-bulking benefits (which aid regularity).

Soluble vs. Insoluble Fiber

Soluble Fiber

○ Properties: Dissolves in water to form a gel-like substance in the digestive tract.

○ Benefits: Helps support normal cholesterol and blood sugar levels, and promotes softer, easier-to-pass stools.



Insoluble Fiber

○ Properties: Does not dissolve in water. It adds bulk to stool and helps food move through the digestive system more efficiently.

○ Benefits: Promotes regular bowel movements and helps alleviate occasional constipation.


Both types of fiber are important for overall digestive health. Psyllium husk provides a beneficial combination of both!

Naturlax is made from natural, plant-based ingredients with no artificial additives — designed to be a gentle and effective way to support your digestive health.

When adding more fiber to your diet, it’s normal for some people to experience mild gas or bloating when first introducing psyllium husk fiber. This is simply the digestive system adjusting — and these effects usually fade as your body adapts.

Tips for a smooth transition:
✓ Start with a smaller serving and gradually increase to the full suggested amount.
✓ Drink plenty of water with each dose to help the fiber do its job comfortably.
