Psyllium Husk – A Premium Source of Natural Fiber

What is Psyllium husk?

Psyllium Husk is a high-purity, industrial-grade soluble fiber derived from the outer shell of Plantago Ovata seeds. Known for its exceptional swelling, gelling, and bulking capabilities, it is a critical ingredient in formulations across the pharmaceutical, functional food, nutraceutical, veterinary, and personal care industries.
Sourced from India’s certified cultivation zones, our psyllium husk undergoes automated, contaminant-free processing and rigorous quality checks to meet global regulatory standards. With customizable purity levels (85% to 99%) and consistent functional properties, Indo Agri Industries’ Psyllium Husk ensures high-performance output for manufacturers seeking a reliable, clean-label fiber solution.
