This makes stools bulkier, and it triggers contraction of the colon walls, leading to bowel movements. Experts recommend one to two teaspoons of ground psyllium seeds mixed with eight ounces of water.
It is usually taken one to three times per day. For constipation, psyllium is usually taken in the early evening to stimulate a bowel movement the following morning. The seed itself is made up of 40% Linoleic Acid (LA), an important fatty acid essential to health. Mucilage mainly composed of Arabinose, Xylose, Galacturonic acid, semi drying fatty oil and small amount of aucubin.

They are not digested in the small intestine, but are partially broken down in the colon, where they act as a food source for friendly flora. Mostly, they act as a sponge in the intestinal tract, swelling as they absorb water, toxins and waste material. This forms a soft, bulky mass that passes through the colon more quickly and evacuates more smoothly and easily.
