Psyllium Husk Powder (50%)

Psyllium Husk Powder (50%) is a low-purity grade of psyllium husk derived from the Plantago ovata seed. With only 50% purity, it contains a substantial amount of inert seed coat and other natural impurities. This grade is not intended for human consumption but serves important roles in non-food industries and animal nutrition.

Despite its lower purity, this powder retains moderate swelling capacity and bulk-forming characteristics. It is especially valued for applications where high fiber content is necessary but not for direct ingestion.

Common Uses Include:

  • Animal feed supplements for promoting healthy digestion and bowel movement.

  • Pet food formulations requiring dietary fiber.

  • Agricultural soil conditioners to enhance water absorption and texture.

  • Industrial fiber fillers where economy is prioritized over purity.
