What Is Psyllium Husk?
Psyllium Husk is a natural source of soluble fibre derived from the seeds of Plantago ovata, a plant traditionally grown in India. It is commonly used to help increase daily fibre intake as part of a balanced diet.
When mixed with liquid, psyllium absorbs water and forms a gel-like texture, making it a popular choice for fibre-focused nutrition routines and everyday dietary use.

- Soluble fibre source – an easy way to support daily fibre intake
- Routine friendly – simple to add to drinks and foods
- Versatile – mix into water, smoothies, yoghurt, or porridge
