Natur Drogeriet Psyllium Husks
Heat-treated psyllium husks, with no other ingredients
In short: Psyllium husks are dietary fibre, not bacteria. 1 to 3 tablespoons a day give 3.5 to 10.5 g of fibre. A pooled analysis of 16 trials in adults with long-term constipation found that more people improved with fibre supplements than with the control treatment, especially with psyllium, with more than 10 g of fibre a day and after at least 4 weeks. Only the highest dose on the pack, 3 tablespoons, reaches that.

The Effect of Fiber Supplementation on Chronic Constipation in Adults: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
van der Schoot A, Drysdale C, Whelan K, Dimidi E. · The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2022)
Key finding: Pooled analysis of 16 randomised trials with 1,251 adults with long-term constipation: 66% improved with fibre supplements against 41% with the control treatment. Psyllium and pectin had a clear effect. The effect was largest with more than 10 g of fibre a day and after at least 4 weeks. The fibre also caused more wind, and the trials differed a lot.
