What it is

Psyllium husk powder is made from the husks of the psyllium plant's seeds, which are native to India. The husks are dried and ground into a fine powder. It is a source of soluble fiber.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use psyllium husk powder as a dietary fiber supplement and as a thickener in foods. It can absorb water and form a gel, which helps improve texture and mouthfeel. It is often found in baked goods, cereals, and meal replacement products.

Health notes

Psyllium husk is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a dietary fiber. Consuming adequate fiber, including from psyllium, can support digestive health. JECFA has evaluated psyllium and established an Acceptable Daily Intake. Evidence suggests it may help manage cholesterol levels and blood sugar when consumed as part of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Psyllium husk is not derived from any of the nine major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
