Psyllium husk powder is the finely milled inner husk of the Plantago ovata seed — one of the most concentrated dietary fibre sources available, absorbing up to 50 times its weight in water to form a thick, viscous gel. These certified organic psyllium husk powder from Just Natural Organic are the finest-ground form, dissolving almost completely in liquid — the preferred choice for GI support, cholesterol management, and as a binding agent in gluten-free baking.
Extraordinary source of soluble fibre (mucilage), clinically proven to reduce LDL cholesterol, support blood glucose management, promote satiety, and maintain digestive regularity. The FDA-approved health claim for psyllium fibre and cardiovascular health applies to products providing at least 7g of soluble fibre daily.
Certified organic by the Soil Association. Plastic-free, home-compostable packaging. Available in 200g.
Stir into water or juice (200ml) and drink immediately before it gels. Add to smoothies. Use as an egg substitute in vegan baking (1 tsp + 3 tbsp water = 1 egg). Add to gluten-free bread for structure. Take 30 minutes before meals to support satiety.
⚠️ Usage note: Always take psyllium with a full glass of water (at least 200ml). Psyllium absorbs water rapidly — swallowing dry or with insufficient water can cause choking or blockage. Start with 1 tsp per day and gradually increase to allow the gut to adjust.

FAQs
What is the difference between psyllium husk powder and whole husks?
Powder is more finely milled — it dissolves more completely in liquid and is more effective as a binding agent in gluten-free baking. Whole husks have a more noticeable texture and are preferred by some for the gel consistency in drinks. Both provide the same fibre and health benefits; powder is generally more versatile.
Is psyllium husk gluten-free?
Yes — psyllium is from the plantain family, unrelated to wheat. It is naturally gluten-free and widely used in coeliac-friendly recipes as a binder.
How does psyllium reduce cholesterol?
Psyllium's soluble mucilage fibre binds to bile acids in the gut — bile acids are made from cholesterol. The body compensates by pulling more cholesterol from the blood to make new bile acids, thereby reducing LDL blood cholesterol. Multiple clinical studies confirm this effect at 7–10g of psyllium fibre per day.
