Experts Discuss Isabgol and Chia Seeds for Constipation and Gut Health
Isabgol (psyllium husk) is widely used in India to relieve constipation and support gut health, but persistent constipation may indicate underlying issues such as diet, medications, hormonal changes, or pelvic-floor problems. While isabgol acts as a targeted fiber supplement, chia seeds provide broader nutritional benefits. Experts note that both have distinct roles in gut health, and choosing between them depends on individual needs rather than one being universally better.
