Default Psyllium Husk

I read something on the net that Psyllium Husk will absorb excess estrogens and excess testosterone in the system. Has anyone ever heard of this? Does it work?

I don't know if it works but I thought I'd bump you up.

Also, psyllium husk is the main fiber used in Metamucil. I think all fibers generally do the same....

Luck to you.

There must be some truth to that. Best fiber to take is LOCLO. It's got more fiber than just psyillium. It's got vegetable/fruit fiber as well. Try it, I love it

Here's the excerpt of what you must have read:

Supplementing with a variety of fibers such as whole psyllium seed husks, powdered flax seed, guar gum and the variety of brans, can have a positive effect on overall health and mental function. Because the gelatinous fibers have a binding effect on toxins in the colon, as well as harmful estrogen metabolites, excess dietary fat and cholesterol, they are able to assist in the rapid excretion of these materials, thereby blocking their re-absorption into the bloodstream.

This is an especially important consideration for women who suffer with the symptoms brought on by estrogen dominance!
