What Global Buyers Should Check Before Sourcing Psyllium Husk
Swell index, purity grades, mesh size, and documentation — a practical checklist for procurement teams evaluating Indian psyllium suppliers.
Psyllium husk remains one of the most widely traded natural fibers for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications. Yet specification gaps between suppliers can create costly reformulation and audit delays.
Start with purity and swell index. Pharma-grade buyers typically require 95–99% purity with documented swell performance. Request recent CoAs from the same facility that will fulfill your commercial order — not a marketing sample from a different line.
Mesh size matters for finished dosage forms. Capsule and tablet manufacturers often prefer coarser husk, while beverage and sachet brands need fine powders that disperse quickly without grit.
Finally, confirm export documentation readiness: phytosanitary certificates, Halal/Kosher where needed, and clear Incoterms. A supplier who can package compliance with the quote will shorten your internal approval cycle.
