13. Helps meet daily fiber recommendations

Fiber's benefits are well-known, but some supplements are more beneficial than others. Psyllium husk is a nonfermenting fiber supplement that forms a viscous gel in the intestines. Gelled fiber retains water in the large intestine to soften stool and prevent constipation. Psyllium husk shares enough properties with dietary fiber to help meet the daily recommended intake.
