What is Organic Psyllium Husk Powder 98% - 40 mesh (SA DC31734)
Organic Psyllium Husk Powder 98% – 40 mesh (SA DC31734) is a pharmaceutical-grade excipient derived from the husk of Plantago ovata seeds. With a purity level of 98% and a finely milled 40 mesh particle size, this material ensures consistent performance, reliable hydration, and uniform dispersion in formulations.
Renowned for its high soluble fibre content, psyllium husk absorbs water rapidly to form a viscous gel, making it an effective bulk-forming agent in medicinal products. It is commonly utilised in formulations designed to support bowel regularity and digestive health. Its natural origin and compatibility with clean-label and plant-based trends further enhance its value in modern pharmaceutical and nutraceutical development.
This ingredient is suitable for a range of oral delivery systems and is valued for its ability to improve texture, stability, and patient compliance without compromising formulation integrity.

Applications & Functionalities
Organic Psyllium Husk Powder serves as a multifunctional pharmaceutical excipient with key roles in both therapeutic and formulation performance. Its primary functionality lies in its use as a bulk-forming laxative, where it absorbs water in the gastrointestinal tract to increase stool mass and promote natural bowel movement. In formulation, it acts as a binding agent, disintegrant, and viscosity modifier, supporting the development of powders, granules, sachets, and suspensions. Its gel-forming capability also makes it suitable for controlled or modified-release systems, where hydration dynamics are critical. Additionally, it enhances mouthfeel and stability in liquid preparations while maintaining compatibility with a wide range of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
