It sometimes goes by the name Ispaghula. Psyllium is produced commercially mainly for its mucilage content. The term \"mucilage\" describes a group of clear, colourless gelling agents derived from plants. The mucilage obtained from psyllium comes from the seed coat. Mucilage is obtained by mechanical milling (i.e. grinding) of the outer layer of the seed. Mucilage yield amounts to about 25% (by weight) of the total seed yield. Plantago-seed mucilage is often referred to as husk, or psyllium husk. The milled seed mucilage is a white fibrous material that is hydrophilic, meaning that its molecular structure causes it to attract and bind to water. Upon absorbing water, the mucilaginous gel that forms increases in volume by ten times or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight management support\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis formula includes glucomannan (a form of soluble fibre derived from the konjac root) and stevia leaf extract.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlucomannan contributes to weight loss in the context of an energy-restricted diet.
