Abstract

The aim of this study was to explore the application of artificial intelligence in evaluating the properties of the Plantago ovata (Psyllium) as a weight-loss aid through a systematic literature review. The research seeks to identify and analyze relevant studies demonstrating the effectiveness of psyllium in weight loss and how AI can be used to interpret this data efficiently and innovatively. The research, the result of a reflective study, covered the period from 2019 to 2024, using references from scientific articles found on specialized platforms such as SciELO, Google Scholar, LILACS, and the Virtual Health Library; with the descriptors: "Artificial Intelligence," "Plantago Ovata," "Psyllium," "Weight Loss," and "Integrative and Complementary Practices." Psyllium was found to be an effective adjuvant in the weight loss process, demonstrating benefits in promoting satiety and regulating intestinal transit. Several clinical and observational studies included in the review showed a significant reduction in body weight and abdominal circumference among participants who used Psyllium.
