Organic Psyllium Husk

(Scientific Name – Plantago Ovata)

About Product

Organic Psyllium Husk is the outer coating of the psyllium seed and is the only part of the plant used for manufacturing psyllium-based products. It is considered a concentrated source of dietary fiber and is composed mainly of hemicellulose, a complex carbohydrate found in plant-based foods. Psyllium husk is not digested in the small intestine; it is partially fermented in the colon where it supports beneficial intestinal flora. Due to its strong water absorption and swelling capacity, psyllium is widely used in digestive health products, fiber supplements, and gluten-free food formulations.
