Psyllium Seed Husk Powder 95%
product description
Psyllium comes from the seeds of Plantago ovata and is one of the most studied soluble-fiber ingredients in digestive and cardiovascular nutrition. Its mucilage-rich husk forms a gentle bulk gel in water, supporting regularity, cholesterol management and satiety.
KH Health supplies psyllium as whole husk and milled extract powder standardized to 85% or 95% total dietary fiber. Produced in a gluten-free, allergen-controlled facility, our psyllium is heat-treated, cleaned and micro-tested per batch, with kosher and halal certifications available.
- 95% grade: Light beige to off-white powder
- 98% grade: Off-white powder
Third-party testing report
We can provide reports from our in-house testing laboratory as well as third-party test reports from organizations such as Eurofins, SGS, and AIE.
Controlled Processing
From seed husk to standardized powder, each step is designed to preserve the mucilage gel-forming properties that make psyllium effective.
Seed Sourcing
Plantago ovata seeds from controlled regional sourcing with supplier qualification.
Husk Separation
Mechanical milling and sifting separate the mucilage-rich husk from the seed kernel.
Cleaning & Heat Treatment
Multi-stage cleaning and heat treatment reduce microbial load while retaining gel-forming capacity.
Milling & Grading
Powder milling to spec mesh with fiber grading to 85%, 95% total dietary fiber.
Screening & Metal Detection
Sieving and metal detection ensure clean, uniform product before packaging.
QC & Stability
Fiber assay, viscosity and microbial testing per batch, plus stability studies for shelf-life claims.
product benefits
1 Digestive Regularity — Dual-Direction Bowel Support
The gel holds water in the intestinal lumen, adding soft bulk to stool. In constipation, it increases stool volume and moisture, stimulating peristalsis; in diarrhea, it absorbs excess water and firms loose stool. Clinical reviews note psyllium's bowel-regulatory effect in both constipation-predominant and diarrhea-predominant IBS, with the Polish Society of Gastroenterology recommending 10–25 g/day soluble fiber to reduce overall IBS symptoms. A randomized trial found psyllium superior to docusate sodium for chronic constipation.
2 Cholesterol Management — Bile Acid Trapping
The viscous gel physically traps bile acids in the small intestine, preventing their reabsorption. Since bile acids are synthesized from cholesterol, the body compensates by drawing LDL cholesterol from the bloodstream to produce more bile. Meta-analyses show psyllium supplementation at 10–12 g/day (providing ~7 g soluble fiber) significantly reduces total and LDL cholesterol. This mechanism is the basis of the FDA-authorized health claim under 21 CFR 101.81: "Soluble fiber from psyllium husk, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease."
3 Blood Sugar Regulation — Delayed Glucose Absorption
The thick gel layer at the intestinal surface slows the diffusion and absorption of carbohydrates, flattening the postprandial glucose spike. Studies in type 2 diabetes patients show that psyllium taken before meals significantly reduces both fasting and postprandial blood glucose, with 10 g/day reported as well-tolerated.
4 Weight Management — Satiety Enhancement
By expanding in the stomach and slowing gastric emptying, psyllium increases the feeling of fullness and reduces energy intake at subsequent meals. It is frequently formulated into meal-replacement shakes and weight-management beverages at 10–15 g/day.
5 Prebiotic & Gut Microbiota Support
While minimally fermented, psyllium's residual fermentation selectively supports beneficial gut bacteria. It is used in gut-health supplements and probiotic-yogurt formulations to nourish the intestinal environment.
6 Excellent Tolerability — Low Fermentation = Less Gas
Because psyllium resists bacterial fermentation, it causes significantly less flatulence and bloating than highly fermentable fibers like inulin or FOS at equivalent doses. This makes it suitable for higher-dose, daily-use fiber products.

brand case
Case 1 — European Gluten-Free Bakery Brand
A leading European gluten-free bread manufacturer was struggling with low loaf volume and rapid staling in their rice-flour-based formulation. We supplied 95% super-white psyllium husk powder at 100 mesh at a 2–3% addition level. The psyllium gel replicated the gluten network, improving specific volume by 18% and extending shelf-life softness from 3 to 7 days.
Case 2 — US Digestive Health Supplement Brand
A US nutraceutical company launching a fiber powder needed material eligible for the FDA coronary-heart-disease health claim. We provided 98% purity psyllium with lot COAs confirming ≥7 g soluble fiber per daily serving and Pb <0.5 ppm, meeting 21 CFR 101.81 raw-material requirements. We also supported their label review with specification documentation.
Case 3 — Asian Meal-Replacement Shake Manufacturer
A meal-replacement brand needed a fiber ingredient that provided satiety without causing bloating (a common complaint with inulin-based products). Our 95% grade psyllium at 80 mesh was incorporated at 5 g per serving. Consumer feedback showed significantly lower reports of gas and bloating vs. their previous inulin formula, and repeat-purchase rate increased.
FAQ
1.What is the difference between psyllium husk and psyllium extract powder?
Whole husk retains the natural mucilage matrix and is ideal for fiber blends and baking; extract powder is milled and standardized for precise fiber dosing in capsules, sticks and functional foods.
2.What fiber standardizations are available?
Total dietary fiber is standardized at 85%, 95%, with soluble fiber content reported per grade; custom specifications on request.
3.Is psyllium suitable for gluten-free products?
Yes — our psyllium is processed in a gluten-free controlled facility and is widely used as a binder and fiber source in gluten-free baking.
4.How do you control microbial and heavy-metal levels?
Heat treatment and cleaning steps reduce microbial load, and every batch is tested for TPC, yeast & mold, pathogens and heavy metals via ICP-MS before release.
5.What is the MOQ and lead time?
MOQ is 25 kg for husk and powder; lead time is 7 to 15 days after order confirmation.
6.Do you provide kosher and halal certification?
Yes, kosher and halal certifications are available for both husk and powder grades, along with full COA and allergen statements.
