Blond psyllium: a plant fibre rich in mucilage

Blond psyllium (Plantago ovata) is a small herbaceous plant of the plantain family. It is also called ispaghula or Indian plantain. It is not the whole plant that is used, but the seed coat, called the husk, which is separated from the seed by dehulling.

This husk is made up almost entirely of fibre. Its special feature: on contact with water, it swells and forms a thick, viscous gel, the mucilage. It is this property that makes psyllium a unique ingredient, both in cooking and in food supplements.

88% fibre

The dietary fibre content of the husks of our organic blond psyllium.

The husk

The thin outer coat of the seed, the most widely used part.

Grown in India

The leading producer of blond psyllium.

Composition

What does psyllium husk contain?

Psyllium husk is a concentrate of fibre, with very little digestible carbohydrate and fat:

Soluble fibre

Predominant, it absorbs water and gives psyllium its gel-like texture.

Arabinoxylans

The main polysaccharides of the mucilage, highly branched.

Few energy-providing nutrients

About 3 g of protein per 100 g, and traces of carbohydrates and fats.

Origin and forms

Blond psyllium, brown psyllium: origin and forms

Native to the dry regions stretching from the Mediterranean basin to South Asia, blond psyllium is now grown mainly in India. Its Indian name, isabgol, gave rise to the word “ispaghula”. It should not be confused with brown psyllium, which comes from another species of plantain and has darker seeds.

It is available as whole husks, in the form of light flakes, as a finer husk powder, or included in formulas combining other ingredients. In cooking, its gelling properties make it a popular binder in gluten-free baking and homemade bread. As it absorbs a great deal of water, it is always taken mixed with a large amount of liquid.

What research says

Psyllium and mucilage: where does the science stand?

Psyllium is one of the most studied plant fibres. Researchers are particularly interested in the structure of its mucilage and how it behaves in contact with water: absorption capacity, viscosity and gel formation.

To date, no health claim relating to psyllium is authorised in the European Union. This research therefore does not allow any particular effect to be attributed to psyllium or to a food supplement containing it.

Buying guide

How to choose a psyllium food supplement?

The husk

Check that the product does contain the seed coat, the part richest in fibre.

Organic origin

For a plant grown without synthetic pesticides.

Pure or in a formula

Pure psyllium can also be used in cooking; formulas combine it with other ingredients.

Storage

Dry and tightly closed, as psyllium readily absorbs moisture.

Frequently asked questions

Psyllium FAQ

What is psyllium mucilage?

It is the gel that forms when the soluble fibres of the husk absorb water. It gives psyllium its thick, slightly sticky texture.

How should psyllium be taken?

Mix it into a large glass of water or juice, drink it straight away before it thickens, then drink another glass of water. Follow the amount stated on the label.

Can psyllium be taken while breastfeeding?

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, ask your doctor for advice before taking a food supplement, including one based on psyllium.

Where can I buy psyllium?

In organic shops, pharmacies or online. At NATURAMedicatrix, we offer organic blond psyllium husks as well as a formula in sachets.
