what the evidence says
Psyllium is the quiet over-achiever of gut health: consistent human evidence, accumulated over decades, supports it for regularity, modest LDL cholesterol reduction, and small improvements in post-meal blood sugar and satiety. If the goal is a healthier gut and most of the diet is low-fibre, this beats any probiotic on evidence strength per dollar.
Plain-language assessment of the human evidence. No cherry-picked citations.
