Plantago ovata
Psyllium husk refers to the outer portion of the seeds of Plantago ovata, a plant in the plantain family. The husk is extremely hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs many times its weight in water. As a supplement, psyllium is a source of soluble fiber that improves transit time in the gut. As such, psyllium is a featured ingredient in over-the-counter laxatives and fiber supplements such as Metamucil.
Powdered psyllium husk is also used as a thickening agent in foods. The powder is also used as a binding agent in gluten-free baking mixes.
Powdered psyllium husk is typically encapsulated as a dietary supplement. The powder may also be added directly to foods. Psyllium is widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Not for long term use. Do not take in large doses. Be sure to take with plenty of water to prevent obstruction.
