If someone wants to take psyllium husks to help maintain 
regularity, they can be taken either between meals or with 
meals, whichever is most comfortable. If someone wants to take 
psyllium husks to help maintain healthy cholesterol levels and 
reduce the risk of heart disease, they will be more effective 
when taken with meals or just before meals. Psyllium husks will 
not interfere with the absorption of vitamins, minerals and 
other nutrients when taken as directed. Here is the reason why. 
First, let's review how psyllium husks work in the body. 
Psyllium husks swell when mixed with liquid and create added 
bulk that is beneficial for the digestive system. The added bulk 
has different effects in the small intestine and the colon. In 
the small intestine, when psyllium husks are taken with food, 
the added bulk results in the food moving more slowly through 
the small intestine. This gives more time for the digestive 
enzymes in the small intestine to pull nutrients out of the 
food, and for the nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. 
As a result, there is not a problem of interference with 
nutrient absorption. In the colon, the added bulk from the 
psyllium husks results in the waste material moving more 
quickly. This is beneficial, as the body gets rid of its wastes 
and toxins more quickly when psyllium husks are taken. Peter
