Our first feature is on Psyllium Husk Powder
(Pronounced sill-ee-yum)

Although you may be able to find similar products elsewhere they may not be the products we’d choose to use. Why? Let us tell you about our Psyllium husk powder…

What’s it for?
Psyllium husk powder is the seed husk powdered down to a fine texture. The powder is then added to juice or water and then drunk. It is typically the product of choice when you need an effective ‘intestinal broom’. The husks have no nutritional value.

How we choose it

Most Psyllium husk powder comes from India. The main criteria we check for are that the powder only contains the husk (ie no fillers) and that the powder has been properly sterilised to remove potential pathogens.

There are usually three sterilisation processes that might have been used: Radiation, Ethylene Trioxide and Steam sterilisation. If you are not sure how it has been sterilised ask your supplier. Of the three sterlisation processes Manifest Health favours steam sterilisation as it effectively kills unwanted pathogens but will not then potentially leave any unwanted residues in your body from taking the powder itself!

Buy the best Psyllium husk powder you can afford and if it’s not been sterilised or if your supplier cannot tell you how it has been sterilised don’t buy it from them.

Best:
Cleaned using steam sterilisation

Second:
Cleaned using Ethylene Trioxide

Third:
Cleaned using Radiation

Not cleaned – Don’t use it!

Cons:
Psyllium must be fully hydrated when you drink it and you must continue to drink plenty of water all the time you have psyllium in your body. Psyllium soaks up water like a sponge and without enough water the husks can dry out and can become lodged and compacted inside you. Drink plenty of extra water or don’t take the Psyllium.

Pros:
Great to assist cleansing the colon of mucoid plaque (especially when used with Bentonite Clay) and for taking water to the colon and as an ‘intestinal broom’. It’s basically fibre supplementation with a brilliant cleaning action.

Manifest Health supply Psyllium husk powder that has been steam sterilised and contains no fillers.
