Health Benefits of Psyllium Husk

Looking for a way to naturally increase the amount of fiber in your diet without impacting your levels of ketosis? Psyllium husk is an all-natural prebiotic that can safely support digestive health and promote a healthy weight management.

Many people overlook psyllium husk, assuming that it’s just good for baking. While we highly recommend that you use it in your baked goods (and then tag us in the photos!), the fiber in psyllium husk has been shown to help reduce symptoms of digestive issues, such as irritable bowel syndrome, colitis, and diverticulosis.
