Constipation relief
Well established. Psyllium is a recognised bulk-forming fibre with consistent human evidence for stool regularity.
LDL cholesterol lowering
Reasonably well supported by multiple human trials — modest reductions when taken regularly as part of the diet.

Some supportive evidence, though effects are modest.
