Psyllium’s unique 70:30 ratio of soluble to insoluble fiber not only provides digestive benefits, but it also supports a healthy heart. The soluble fibers found in psyllium fiber have shown to be particularly effective in reducing blood triglycerides (a type of fat), blood pressure, and the risk of heart disease.
