Psyllium is the fibre MVP. It’s a natural source of soluble and insoluble fibre, making it a simple way to add variety to your diet. Fibre is known for helping you feel satisfied and for keeping things balanced in your daily routine.
It’s also a natural prebiotic, which means it contributes to supporting a happy gut environment. Think of psyllium as your BTS helper, keeping things moving while you're busy running the show.
