“I co-developed SylliFlor with my father Pat because the psyllium powders on the Irish market were unpalatable and patients simply stopped taking them. Plain is the workhorse — pure 100% psyllium husk that mixes invisibly into anything.”

SylliFlor Psyllium Husks Plain is a 100% natural, unflavoured dietary fibre supplement made from the husks of psyllium seeds (Plantago ovata). Psyllium husk is one of the most effective and well-studied sources of soluble fibre available — it absorbs water in the gut to form a soft, gel-like mass that adds bulk to stool, supports bowel regularity and helps relieve constipation gently and naturally.
The unflavoured plain format makes it easy to mix with water, juice, yoghurt or food without affecting taste — one of the most pharmacist-recommended natural fibre supplements in Ireland for daily digestive health support.
What SylliFlor Psyllium Husks Supports
- Constipation relief — bulks and softens stool for easier, more comfortable passage
- Bowel regularity — promotes consistent, regular bowel movements
- IBS symptom management — soluble fibre can help regulate both constipation and loose stools in IBS
- Cholesterol support — soluble fibre contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels
- Blood sugar management — slows glucose absorption after meals
- Gut microbiome — acts as a prebiotic, feeding beneficial gut bacteria

How to Use
Mix the recommended serving (typically 1–2 teaspoons) with at least 200ml of water or juice. Drink immediately before the mixture thickens. Follow with an additional glass of water. Take once or twice daily. It is essential to drink adequate fluid throughout the day when taking psyllium husk — without sufficient fluid, psyllium can cause bloating or, rarely, intestinal blockage.
Food supplement. Not a substitute for a varied diet and healthy lifestyle. Always drink sufficient fluid when using. Not suitable for those with bowel obstruction or difficulty swallowing. If pregnant or breastfeeding, speak with your pharmacist or GP before use. If taking regular medication, take psyllium at a separate time as fibre can affect absorption.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between SylliFlor Plain and SylliFlor Cocoa?
Both contain the same psyllium husk formula and provide identical fibre and digestive health benefits. The only difference is taste. SylliFlor Plain is unflavoured and can be mixed with anything without affecting taste. SylliFlor Cocoa has a mild chocolate flavour, making it more enjoyable for those who find plain psyllium bland. Both are available from Chemco Pharmacy.
Is psyllium husk better than lactulose or Dulcosoft for constipation?
Psyllium husk is a natural dietary fibre supplement rather than a laxative medicine. It is ideal as a first-line, long-term option for managing constipation, improving overall bowel regularity and increasing daily fibre intake. Lactulose and Dulcosoft (macrogol) are osmotic laxatives that work more quickly and are better for short-term or acute constipation relief. For ongoing management, many people use psyllium daily for long-term fibre support and keep a laxative medicine available for breakthrough episodes. Our pharmacists can advise on the right combination for your needs.
Can I take SylliFlor with my medication?
Psyllium husk can slow the absorption of some medications by forming a physical barrier in the gut. If you take regular prescription medication — particularly thyroid medication, diabetes medication, cholesterol-lowering drugs or antiepileptics — take your medication at a separate time from SylliFlor, ideally at least 1–2 hours before or after. Speak with your Chemco pharmacist for specific advice.
Why is SylliFlor recommended by Chemco Pharmacy?
Roisin Cahill MPharm MPSI, pharmacist at Chemco and Co-Founder of RoCa Healthcare, introduced SylliFlor to Ireland in 2018 after identifying a gap in quality psyllium husk products available to Irish patients. She has personally recommended it to thousands of her patients for IBS, constipation, cholesterol and gut health support. Read Roisin’s full pharmacist guide here.
