Plants & Husks
Plants and legumes, with their wide range of valuable ingredients, have always been an integral part of the human diet. Ancient knowledge of the special properties of certain plants and legumes is increasingly supported by scientific research.
Psyllium Husks
Psyllium seed husks are the shells of the seeds of the plantain species Plantago indica/ovata. These small seeds spring up when the fruits of the plant are ripe, resembling fleas; this is what gives the plant its name ("psulla" is Greek for flea). Primarily the husks of the seed contain the valuable, mucous-forming fibre (mucilage), which swells up when in contact with liquid, forming a gel-like substance. Psyllium husks have been an important part of traditional Indian culture for over 2,000 years and have been used in Europe since ancient times.
MCT Oil
MCT (medium-chain triglycerides) are special fatty acids that can be easily converted into energy by the body on account of their structure. The two key forms of biologically effective MCT are caprylic acid (C8) and capric acid (C10). Our MCT oils are sourced from hand-harvested, 100% fresh, whole coconuts.
