Moreover , there was nonlinear association between duration of psyllium consumption , BMI and WC .
Conclusion : Psyllium supplementation does not reduce body weight , BMI , and WC significantly
Abstract Background : Previous studies reported inconsistent findings regarding the effects of psyllium supplementation on  obesity measures .
This systematic review and meta- analysis was performed to summarize data from available r and omized clinical trials ( RCTs ) on the effect of psyllium supplementation on  body weight , body mass index ( BMI ) , and waist circumference ( WC ) in adults .
Long-term effects of consuming foods containing psyllium seed husk on serum lipids in subjects with hypercholesterolemia.
The effects of consuming foods containing 0 ( control ) , 3.4 , 6.8 , or 10.2 g psyllium seed husk (PSH)/d for 24 wk on the serum lipid profile were assessed in this r and omized , double-blind controlled study . Men and women ( n = 286 ) with LDL-cholesterol concentrations between 3.36 and 5.68 mmol/L ( 130 and 220 mg/dL ) were r and omly assigned to one of four treatment groups after following a low-fat diet for > or = 8 wk . At week 24 , LDL cholesterol was 3 % above baseline in the control group . In the group consuming 10.2 g PSH/d , LDL cholesterol remained below baseline during treatment , with a value 5.3 % below that of the control group at week 24 ( P < 0.05 compared with the control group ) . No significant differences were observed in HDL cholesterol or triacylglycerol . Although modest , the effect of 10.2 g PSH/d on LDL cholesterol ( relative to the control ) persisted throughout the 24-wk treatment period , indicating potential for long-term benefit
Moreover , there was nonlinear association between duration of psyllium consumption , BMI and WC .
