A YouTube short by @ReadersBooksClub claims that eating pomegranate, watermelon, guava seeds, and psyllium husk (Isabgol) improves gut health. The video has over 44 lakh views, but are these claims accurate? Let’s find out.
According to dietitian Zohra, "Psyllium husk helps with digestion and constipation by creating bulk in the digestive system. However, it can bind to micronutrients and prevent their absorption if overused. There’s no evidence that psyllium helps gut bacteria extract B-complex vitamins." An article published in this gastroenterology journal also highlights the benefits of Isabgol in relieving constipation, recommending a daily dosage of at least 20-25 g along with adequate water intake. Therefore, this claim.. is Misleading. While Isabgol aids digestion, there is no scientific evidence linking it to the extraction of B vitamins by gut bacteria.
