Psyllium fiber comes from the husk of Plantago ovata seeds and is widely used in nutritional supplements for its ability to retain water and form viscous gels, making it an excellent option to provide bulk and texture in functional fiber products.
In formulations, it is valued both for its ability to increase dietary fiber content and for its sensory neutrality, which makes it ideal for powder blends, bars, capsules, or ready-to-mix sachets. It is commonly found in products aimed at gut wellness, satiety, or functional nutrition plans, especially within clean label, keto-friendly, or plant-based product lines.
Its structure allows for modulation of product viscosity and stabilization of blends with other active ingredients without altering flavor or color.
Psyllium is incorporated in a versatile way into a wide range of supplements:
Water-soluble powders: in sachets, jars, or sticks for daily use.
Fiber capsules: for consumers who prefer convenient formats.
Functional bars or healthy snacks: providing texture and fiber content.
Clean label digestive support blends: combined with inulin, guar gum, or flaxseed.
Thanks to its natural origin, high water-holding capacity, and compatibility with different systems, psyllium fiber is an essential ingredient in the development of functional supplements designed for daily wellness, balanced nutrition, and plant-based fiber.
