Experts Discuss Isabgol's Role in Gut Health and Potential Cancer Risk Reduction
Isabgol, commonly used to relieve constipation, contains soluble fibre that supports gut health by softening stool and promoting beneficial gut bacteria. Experts note that while fibre intake is linked to reduced colorectal cancer risk, isabgol should not be seen as a standalone cancer-preventing remedy. Oncologists highlight its role in reducing inflammation and supporting blood sugar and cholesterol levels, but caution that its benefits depend on adequate water intake and should complement a balanced diet.
