Psyllium Hulls is a member of the plant family plantaginaceae, also referred to as plantago. The hulls are the most often used part of the psyllium plant. The nutritional benefits of this plant are enjoying a surge of interest in America, but the benefits have been known to other cultures for centuries. The plant is particularly popular in the U.S. due to concern about the effects of our nation's highly refined, high-fat diet on colon health. Encapsulated psyllium hulls are a convenient way to add important fiber to the daily diet.
