Isabgol may absorb water in the intestine, which can increase stool volume and ease bowel movement.
Soluble fiber may hold water in the stool, which can reduce dryness during passage.
Increased stool bulk may influence normal intestinal movement over time.
Isabgol is often taken as 1–2 teaspoons with warm water before bedtime or mixed with lukewarm milk or curd.
Adequate fluid intake may influence how steadily isabgol works within the digestive system.
