The effect of psyllium on fasting blood sugar, HbA1c, HOMA IR, and insulin control: a GRADE-assessed systematic review and meta-analysis
BMC Endocrine Disorders (2024) · Meta analysis · n=962
FBS reduced by 6.89 mg/dL
Meta-analysis showed blood pressure benefits specifically in diabetic patients only, not healthy individuals. Effect size was modest. GI upset risk increases with dose. G-hesperidin form may have better bioavailability.
Based on multiple meta-analyses showing 8.55 mg/dL LDL reduction and 0.278 mmol/L reduction. Effect appears dose-dependent with plateau around 10g. Must take with adequate water.
