Your boyfriend is a smart man. [FONT=wf_segoe-ui_normal]I am a big advocate digestive enzymes, psyllium husk and probiotics. As bodybuilders, we are constantly overloading our digestive systems and those three supplements will go a long way in promoting optimal digestive health. [/FONT][FONT=wf_segoe-ui_normal]
Psyllium husk is the highest natural food source of soluble fibre you can obtain. The majority of the fibre you intake from your daily diet is insoluble fibre. The key benefit of soluble fibre is that soluble fibre absorbs water in your stomach and creates a gel. It gives your intestines a sort of 'internal scrubbing' as it passes through. It will help keep you regular and the faster you can remove toxins from your body, the less likely they are to be re-absorbed.
The dosage of psyllium husk does not change whether you are a man or a woman. I recommend taking 10g with your last meal each day.
I take 10g mixed in a casein protein shake for my last meal every day and I am regular like clock work.
