Psyllium Husk Powder
Psyllium husk powder is produced by milling graded psyllium husk to a defined particle size. The finer structure hydrates quickly and forms a uniform gel, making it well suited to dosing, blending and encapsulation.
It is available in the same four purity grades as our husk, milled between 20 and 100 mesh to your specification.
