RITE AID FIBER THERAPY 160 CAPSULES

Relieves constipation.

Psyllium can be used as a laxative, as it increases the size of the stool and therefore helps relieve constipation. In fact, psyllium is capable of binding to partially digested food that passes from the stomach to the small intestine, helping the absorption of water and thus increasing the size and moisture of the stool.

Treats diarrhea.

Psyllium can help relieve diarrhea by acting as a water absorbent, increasing the thickness of the stool, and slowing its passage through the colon.

In summary, psyllium can help prevent constipation and reduce diarrhea, effectively helping to normalize bowel movements.

Reduces blood sugar levels.

Dietary supplementation with fiber can help control the glycemic response to meals and may reduce insulin and blood sugar levels in some cases.

The gelling fibers of psyllium can slow down the digestion of food, better regulating blood sugar levels.

Helps to lose weight.

Fibers like psyllium form viscous compounds that can help control appetite and, therefore, help with weight loss.

Reduces cholesterol levels.

Psyllium is capable of binding to fatty and bile acids, promoting their excretion from the body and, as a final result, helping to lower overall cholesterol levels while at the same time increasing HDL cholesterol levels (the so-called “good” cholesterol)
