Psyllium Husk Powder
Psyllium Husk Powder is a finely ground form of psyllium husk, derived from the outer coating of psyllium seeds (Plantago ovata). Renowned for its exceptional soluble fiber content, it is widely used as a dietary supplement to support digestive health and promote regular bowel movements. The powder’s ability to absorb water and form a gel-like substance makes it effective in alleviating constipation and improving overall gut function. Additionally, Psyllium Husk Powder is a valuable ingredient in gluten-free and high-fiber foods, contributing to dietary fiber intake and supporting heart health. Its versatile applications extend to the food industry, pharmaceuticals, and even as a binding agent in various products.
