💡 What to know

Psyllium is sold as husk, powder, and capsules. The same scoop volume can have a different weight, so compare grams of psyllium rather than volume alone. Sugar, pectin, and other additions are separate. Price is normalized to 5 g psyllium.

Benefits
Psyllium is a source of viscous soluble fiber. With water it forms a gel that helps regulate stool consistency and intestinal transit. This type of fiber can also help lower LDL cholesterol.
