 Psyllium is a soluble fiber used primarily as a gentle bulk-forming laxative in products such as Metamucil. It comes from a shrub-like herb called Plantago ovata that grows worldwide but is most common in India. Each plant can produce up to 15,000 tiny, gel-coated seeds, from which psyllium husk is derived.

Psyllium is unlike some laxatives in that it doesn\\\'t cause contractions of the intestines (like stimulant laxatives) or draw water from the intestine to soften stools (like osmotic laxatives). Instead, it increases the weight and bulk of stools which, in turn, stimulates bowel movements. Unlike other laxatives, psyllium is safe and gentle enough to use every day.
