Description
When it comes to digestive health, it's been reported that a quarter of Canadians suffer from symptoms of constipation (either infrequent or difficult bowel movements). What's more, a 2004 study found that over 63 million people in North America meet the criteria for constipation. Thankfully, there are natural solutions for this common complaint. Psyllium husks can provide gentle relief of constipation and/or irregularity, promoting bowel movements by increasing bulk volume and water content. Add Flora Psyllium Husks to water, juice, or milk, and make it a part of your daily routine for natural constipation relief.
