Psyllium seed is derived from the Plantago ovata plant, a herb mainly grown in India and certain parts of the Middle East. The seeds are a rich source of dietary fiber, both soluble and insoluble, and are often used as a natural remedy for digestive health, cholesterol management, and overall wellness. The most well-known product made from psyllium is its husk, which has become popular as a bulk-forming laxative and fiber supplement.

Psyllium seed is renowned for its high fiber content, particularly soluble fiber. The husk or seed coat of psyllium contains around 70% soluble fiber and 30% insoluble fiber. The primary component responsible for its beneficial effects is mucilage, a gel-like substance that forms when the seeds come into contact with water.
