Soluble fibre supporting digestive regularity and cholesterol levels

We rank Psyllium Husk by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.

What it is

Psyllium husk is a type of soluble fibre, which is a substance found in plants that dissolves in water to create a gel-like consistency. It is derived from the seeds of the Plantago ovata plant.

Why it's used

It is primarily used to support digestive regularity by helping waste move through the gut. It is also used to help manage cholesterol levels in the blood.

How it's made

The seeds are harvested and the outer shells, known as husks, are separated from the inner seed. These husks are then cleaned, dried, and ground into a powder or left as coarse flakes to be put into capsules or sold as a loose supplement.

What it typically costs

This ingredient is considered mid-range in price. This is because while the raw plant material is relatively easy to grow and source, the process of separating the husks from the seeds requires specific mechanical processing.
