Psyllium Husk delivers gentle, vegan friendly fibre support to maintain digestive comfort, hormonal balance and nutrient uptake, key foundations for fertility, a healthy pregnancy and postnatal recovery.
This natural, plant based soluble fibre supplement helps to feed the friendly bacteria in your gut, encouraging them to colonise and in turn, support regular bowel movements. Fibre is an essential dietary compound in supporting healthy digestion, gut microbiome balance and regular bowel movements, essential for male and female fertility, a comfortable pregnancy and postnatal wellbeing.
By promoting efficient nutrient absorption and reducing gut inflammation, it helps maintain the hormonal balance critical to reproductive health.
Psyllium Husk comes from the husks of Plantago ovata seeds. In water, it forms a gel that eases the passage of waste, soothes intestinal lining and feeds beneficial gut bacteria.
A healthy gut microbiome improves the absorption of key fertility nutrients (vitamins, minerals and amino acids) and helps regulate oestrogen and testosterone levels. During pregnancy, it relieves common digestive discomforts, bloating and constipation, so you can focus on your wellbeing.
Studies have shown that fibre can help to maintain a healthy weight, reduce the risk of insulin resitance and feed the friendly bacteria in your gut microbiome. These three factors all play an important role in promoting better fertility, a healthier pregnancy and post-pregnancy recovery.
Maintaining a healthy weight can be beneficial for fertility as being overweight can impact reproductive health & may alter hormone levels in the body
Insulin resistance can trigger the ovaries to overproduce androgen hormones. For women with PCOS this can cause irregular cycles or anovulation
Good bacteria in the gut help to convert oestrogen into the active form, helping hormonal balance. The gut microbiome is also passed on to a baby after birth so having a healthy gut is vital for their healthy development!
Modern diets often lack sufficient fibre, leading to sluggish digestion, hormone imbalances and inflammation. Psyllium Husk restores regularity and supports a fertile, hormone-friendly environment.
We recommend pairing with our friendly bacteria supplements. For preconception and pregnancy we recommend Femceive for women, and for preconception we recommend Menceive for men. The fibre helps feed the friendly bacteria so they can grow and thrive in your gut to support fertility and pregnancy.
You can begin at any stage, prior to trying to conceive, throughout pregnancy and into postnatal recovery. Start with one capsule daily and build to two to allow your body to adjust.
