Freego
Generic: Psyllium Husk (Ispaghula Husk)
Freego-Gel is a natural bulk-forming fiber supplement containing Psyllium Husk. When mixed with water, Psyllium absorbs water and forms a gel that increases stool bulk, softens stool, and promotes regular bowel movements. It helps relieve constipation and facilitates easier defecation. Psyllium may also help maintain healthy bowel function, support stool consistency, and reduce cholesterol levels as part of a healthy diet.
