Composition:

Psyllium husk fibers, organic cinnamon bark powder, barley and wheat bran fibers (not more than 2.5%)

Properties:

-Psyllium is a type of soluble fiber derived from the husks of the psyllium seed that is used as a bulk-forming laxative. Psyllium husk powder, used in products like Imtenan, is mixed with water and taken by mouth to treat occasional constipation and maintain regular bowel movements. 

-Psyllium is unlike some laxatives in that it doesn’t cause contractions of the intestines (like stimulant laxatives) or draw water from the intestine to soften stools (like osmotic laxatives). Instead, it increases the weight and bulk of stools which, in turn, stimulates bowel movements. Unlike the other laxatives, psyllium is safe and gentle enough to use every day.

-Cinnamon bark powder helps to reduce spasms and flatulence, stimulates the appetite. Cinnamon might also increase blood flow. Cinnamon bark also contains a chemical that might work like insulin to lower blood sugar.

-Barley is high in fiber, especially beta-glucan, which may reduce cholesterol and blood sugar levels. It may also aid weight loss and improve digestion. 

-Wheat bran is highly nutritious and an excellent source of fiber. It may benefit digestive and heart health and could even reduce breast and colon cancer risk.
