Yeah, so psyllium husk is probably the most boring supplement. And because of that, it's not going to generate headlines. But the evidence is so strong for it. We've got multiple randomized controlled trials looking at what happens if you increase your fiber intake.

And overwhelmingly, if you increase your fiber intake, you decrease your cholesterol levels, you decrease your mortality rates, your heart disease rates. And over and over again, that's been proven in meta-analyses, where they combine all of those trials together.

If you have a look specifically at the trials of psyllium husk, we can also see the same thing where we lower cholesterol levels, we lower heart disease, and it can be used for irritable bowel syndrome. Irritable bowel syndrome is incredibly common, and psyllium husk can be used to help with those digestive issues.

So, you know, it's very, very boring, but I'd probably say that most people should be adding it to an already healthy diet. Because coming back to the trials looking at fiber, it seems to be a dose response. As in, the more fiber you have in your diet, the more protective effects seem to be apparent. So if you've already got a high fiber diet and you're not having any gastrointestinal issues,

it's not a bad idea to try adding low doses of psyllium husk and slowly building up that dose until you reach the perfect point for you because the evidence backs it up.

That's absolutely right. The meta-analysis that I'm referring to suggests that ideally people want to be having at least about 25 grams of fiber a day. But there is the caveat though. I've mentioned irritable bowel syndrome already.

Some people who have irritable bowel syndrome, they can't tolerate a high fiber diet because a lot of the times when you're trying to digest that fiber, it causes fermentation. So it worsens bloating, it worsens their symptoms. So again, just make sure that you speak with your own doctor.
