{"product_id":"rootalive-psyllium-husk-powder-454g","title":"Rootalive Psyllium Husk Powder, Raw Ground Soluble Fibre for Digestive Regularity, 454g","description":"\u003ch2\u003eRootalive Psyllium Husk Powder Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePsyllium is the husk of the Plantago ovata seed, and it is the most-used bulk-forming fibre in the world for one reason: it is mostly soluble fibre that forms a gel when it meets water. That gel is what makes it useful at both ends of the digestive spectrum — it adds bulk and softness where things are slow, and it firms things up where they are too loose. Very few single ingredients work in both directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the raw ground powder at 454 g — a full pound, single ingredient, gluten free, with no sweetener or flavouring added.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the non-certified counterpart to Rootalive's Organic Psyllium Husk Powder. Same seed husk, same grind, same function; the difference is organic certification and that this comes in one size only. If certification matters to you, buy the organic version. If you use psyllium daily and want the most economical option, this is it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePowder and whole husk do the same job with different textures. Ground powder disperses more evenly and thickens faster, which suits smoothies and baking. Whole husk keeps its structure, takes longer to gel and has a coarser mouthfeel, which many people prefer stirred into water or juice. Neither is stronger — it is a texture preference. At Rootalive, we help and inspire people to live a healthier and happier lifestyle. We take a lot of pride in our quality and strive to work harder every day to deliver only the best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Rootalive Psyllium Husk Powder Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is for regular psyllium users buying by the pound — anyone taking it daily for regularity or fibre intake who wants the best value per gram. The powder form suits smoothies and baking, where it disperses evenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Always take it with a full glass of liquid** — psyllium gels on contact with water and taken dry it can swell in the throat. Build the dose up gradually. Take it a few hours apart from medication. Note this product is not certified organic; the 200 g and 454 g organic powders are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRootalive Psyllium Husk Powder Features and Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRaw Ground Psyllium Husk\u003c\/strong\u003e — Single ingredient, no fillers, sweetener or flavouring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGluten Free\u003c\/strong\u003e — Suitable for a gluten-free diet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBulk-Forming Soluble Fibre\u003c\/strong\u003e — Forms a gel with water that adds bulk and softness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorks in Both Directions\u003c\/strong\u003e — Useful whether transit is too slow or too fast.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisperses Evenly\u003c\/strong\u003e — The ground form suits smoothies and baking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e454g — A Full Pound\u003c\/strong\u003e — Around 90 servings, the most economical psyllium in the range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlso Used for Heart Health\u003c\/strong\u003e — Soluble fibre has a long association with cholesterol management.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-section\" id=\"faq-rootalive-psyllium-husk-powder-454g\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e➕ What is Rootalive Psyllium Husk Powder?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left:25px; margin-top:5px; padding-bottom:10px;\"\u003eA single-ingredient raw ground psyllium husk powder, gluten free. 454 g pouch, around 90 servings.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e➕ How much do I use?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left:25px; margin-top:5px; padding-bottom:10px;\"\u003eStart with around a teaspoon in a full glass of liquid and build up gradually.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e➕ How does this differ from the organic version?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left:25px; margin-top:5px; padding-bottom:10px;\"\u003eSame seed husk and same grind.
