Psyllium Husk Powder originates from the outer coating of Plantago ovata seeds, a fine, light beige powder high in soluble dietary fiber mucilage that absorbs water to form viscous gels. It contains approximately 85% fiber content, promoting bulk in formulations while being gluten-free and neutral in taste for versatile integration.
