What is Psyllium Husk 500mg?

Psyllium Husk 500mg from EssentialSeries is a food supplement in vegetable capsules, based on the seed bran of the Plantago ovata.

The peel of Psyllium is nutritionally fibre-based, mainly arabinoxylans, non-starch polysaccharides with the technological properties of soluble fibres with high gelling power (Morales-Ortega et al., 2013).

Psyllium Husk 500mg is a food supplement 100% suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets.

In capsules

Some users find it more convenient to use in capsules, as it is a simpler format for dosing control and transport.

They are easy to consume, and each contains 500mg of Psyllium shell.

Perfect for vegans

At HSN we realised a food supplement feature that you may never have noticed.

Have you ever noticed that capsule supplements are not suitable for vegetarians? Let's explain it to you!

Traditionally, capsules are made from a protein polymer that you have definitely found in the supermarket before... gelatines, and when they are treated, they're very malleable, allowing the capsule to be filled with powder and oil content for containment.

But the gelatine comes from the extraction of connective tissues from cattle animals, making it impossible for vegetarians and vegans to use it.

At HSN we started a long time ago with the process of replacing our capsules with plant alternatives, using hypromellose, a vegetable polymer with gelatinisation characteristics and mechanical strength comparable to traditional gelatine capsules.

Gluten free

Psyllium seeds should not contain gluten in any case, however, in many products it is listed as a present allergen... why?

Because they are processed in the presence of other cereals that do contain gluten and may be contaminated by contact with them.

HSN develops food supplements in our factory, certified with GMP and HACCP among other quality guarantees, so we can guarantee the full traceability of all products of our brand.
