Psyllium Husk Powder Wholesale Supplier India: 85%, 95%, 98% Grade Guide
Product.
Grade and mesh selection for supplement and functional food manufacturers sourcing psyllium husk powder in bulk from Gujarat, India.
Key Takeaways
- psyllium husk powder wholesale sourcing should be reviewed by lot, specification, and application rather than by broad supplier claims.
- Buyers should verify mesh, grade, moisture, microbiology, application fit, sample COA, and packing before PO.
Psyllium husk powder is milled from whole psyllium husk (Plantago ovata seed coat) to a specified mesh fineness. Unlike whole husk — which retains fibrous structure — powder disperses uniformly in aqueous matrices, making it the preferred format for drink mixes, functional food premixes, and certain supplement dosage forms. Powder grade (purity percentage) determines mucilage content and swell volume; mesh determines particle size and dispersion speed.
RM Psyllium supplies psyllium husk powder in three purity grades from our Siddhpur, Gujarat facility: 85%, 95%, and 98%. Grades are available in multiple mesh specifications, and buyers can review a sample COA or request third-party testing where required. MOQ and lead time depend on grade, packing, testing, documents, and destination.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should buyers confirm before PO?
Confirm mesh, grade, moisture, microbiology, application fit, sample COA, and packing, target application, sample requirement, packing, and destination documents before PO.
Is a sample COA enough for final approval?
No. A sample COA supports early review. Final approval should use the actual shipment lot COA or third-party report where required.
Can wording be matched to buyer specifications?
Wording can be reviewed against buyer specifications only where the tested lot results and documents support it.
What is the fastest way to avoid procurement delays?
Share grade, mesh, target application, destination country, monthly volume, and required document list before quotation.
Grade Comparison: 85%, 95%, 98%
Purity grade in psyllium powder refers to husk content — higher purity means higher mucilage concentration and swell volume. The choice of grade depends on the regulatory requirements of the destination market and the functional performance needed in the formulation.
| Grade | Purity | Swell Volume | Typical Mesh | Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 85% | ≥ 85% | ≥ 20 mL/g | 60–80 mesh | Cost-sensitive food fiber, animal feed supplement |
| 95% | ≥ 95% | ≥ 30 mL/g | 60–100 mesh | Nutraceutical blends, functional food fortification |
| 98% | ≥ 98% | ≥ 40 mL/g | 80–200 mesh | Supplement capsules, drink mixes, gluten-free baking |
Mesh Selection for Supplement Manufacturing
Mesh number (ASTM standard) indicates particle fineness. For capsule filling (dosator or tamping), 60–80 mesh powder provides good flow and consistent fill weight. For drink-mix formats requiring rapid hydration, 100–200 mesh is standard — finer particles disperse faster and reduce clumping. For functional food applications (bakery, cereals, fiber bars), 80–100 mesh provides adequate water binding without textural issues. We supply standard mesh cuts at 40, 60, 80, 100, and 200 mesh; non-standard cuts are available subject to minimum volumes.
MOQ and Packaging Options
Psyllium husk powder is supplied in 25 kg HDPE-lined paper bags, 450 kg bags, and 950 kg FIBC bags. For moisture-sensitive applications (capsule filling), heat-sealed inner HDPE liner with desiccant insert is available on request. Sample quantities, COA review options, and dispatch timing are planned after grade, mesh, destination, and document requirements are clear.
