Ispaghula is a plant belonging to the Plantaginacea family which often grows in Pakistan and India. The teguments of the seeds are rich in mucilage. This forms in the stomach, when mixed with cold water, a gel which is not assimilated by the organism but which has multiple benefits. Ispaghula is particularly appreciated during slimming diets for two main reasons: firstly, it naturally takes the edge off hunger; secondly it slows down the absorption of food during digestion, especially sugar and fat, thereby minimizing calorie intake. This high viscosity gel is beneficial to re-educate the intestinal tract which breaks the vicious circle of "classic" laxatives. It increases the volume and the hydration of the stools, making their elimination easier. Also, by covering the intersine walls, it has a protective action. This gel can also absorb bile salts which will then be evacuated along with the stools instead of being held within the intestine. So, the liver will have to use cholesterol to make more bile slats and in this way Ispaghula will reduce the cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
