Psyllium Husk is a natural, white-colored dietary fiber obtained from the outer husk of the seeds of the medicinal plant Plantago ovata. The husk is separated from the seeds through a controlled mechanical process and consists primarily of hemicellulose, a complex carbohydrate naturally found in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.

Widely recognized for its high fiber content, Psyllium Husk is commonly used as a bulk-forming laxative and is consumed across the globe for digestive health. It can be taken in its natural form or blended with liquids such as water, juice, or milk, and is also available in flavored variants.
