Psyllium Husk is the outer mucilage coating of the Plantago ovata seed — considered pure dietary fibre and the only part of the plant used in manufacturing psyllium products. Its nutritional value consists mainly of glycosides, proteins, polysaccharides, Vitamin B1 and choline. With a fibre content of over 80%, it far surpasses oat bran (< 15%) and wheat bran (< 10%). The husk is composed mostly of hemicellulose — a complex carbohydrate found in whole grains, fruits and vegetables.
