Psyllium Husk

Psyllium Husk

Everyday

Psyllium husk is a soluble fiber supplement derived from the seeds of the Plantago ovata plant, primarily cultivated in India. When mixed with water, it forms a gel-like substance that supports digestive health by promoting regularity and helping manage cholesterol and blood sugar levels. This gluten-free powder is commonly used as a binding agent in gluten-free baking and requires adequate hydration during consumption to prevent potential choking hazards.
