Description
Psyllium Husks are the outer coating of Plantago ovata seeds and are high in indigestible fibre. Horses who graze on sparce, sandy pastures ingest sand into the digestive system where it can settle and potentially cause problems. When Psyllium Husks are wet they swell to form a gel which when passing through the digestive system aids sand clearance from the digestive tract by promoting gut motility.

What are Psyllium Husks and where do they come from?
Psyllium Husks are the outer coating of Plantago ovata seeds. They are high in indigestible fibre, which is the property that makes them useful as a digestive supplement for horses.
How do Lincoln Psyllium Husks help horses that graze on sandy pastures?
Horses grazing on sparse, sandy pastures can ingest sand into their digestive system, where it may settle and cause problems. When wet, Psyllium Husks swell to form a gel that passes through the digestive tract, promoting gut motility and aiding the clearance of ingested sand.
How do Psyllium Husks work once ingested?
When Psyllium Husks come into contact with moisture, they swell and form a gel. This gel moves through the digestive system and helps to carry sand along with it by promoting gut motility.
