Psyllium Fibre
A traditional soluble fibre for digestive health formats and bulk fibre fortification.
Psyllium Fibre
Psyllium is the husk of the Plantago ovata seed, grown largely in western India. It is one of the oldest and best-established fibre ingredients in digestive health.
Unlike PHGG, psyllium builds viscosity in water and forms a gel. That makes it unsuitable for clear beverages, but it is exactly what is wanted in bulk-forming digestive formats, where the gel is the mechanism rather than a side effect.
What it brings to the formulation
- High water-holding capacity
- Bulk-forming action supporting regularity
- Well established in digestive health positioning
- Grown and processed in India
