Psyllium husk powder is a natural dietary fiber derived from the seeds of the Plantago ovata plant. Highly hygroscopic, it absorbs water effectively and is commonly used as a bulk-forming laxative and a fiber supplement.
In the food industry, it is widely incorporated into bread, biscuits, and breakfast cereals to elevate dietary fiber content, improve texture, assist in food expansion, and act as a natural thickening agent.
It primarily supports digestive health by promoting bowel motility, softening stool, relieving constipation, and assisting in the prevention of long-term intestinal discomforts.
According to our Certificate of Analysis, our Psyllium Husk Powder features a 98% dietary fiber assay and 98% of the powder passes through an 80-mesh screen, ensuring consistent texture and quality.
We offer 1kg packages (double plastic bags inside with an aluminum foil bag and external box) as well as bulk packaging options of 10kg and 25kg+ inside drums or sturdy cartons.
For smaller shipments (1kg–25kg), we use express services like EMS, DHL, UPS, or FedEx (3–7 days). Larger shipments exceeding 100kg are shipped via air freight (3–7 days) or sea freight (10–35 days).
