Isabgul Husk Powder Orange Flavour | Psyllium (Plantago ovata) Dietary Fibre | Riddhish Herbals 100g

Isabgul Husk Powder (Orange Flavour) is a no-added-sugar dietary fibre drink built around isabgul — the soluble husk of the Plantago ovata seed, known the world over as psyllium. Each spoon dissolves into a light, tangy orange drink that swells in water to add gentle, bulk-forming fibre to your day. It is a food supplement for everyday digestive comfort, not a medicine.

About Isabgul Husk Powder (Orange Flavour)

Isabgul — better known to many as psyllium — is one of the oldest and gentlest fibres in the Indian kitchen. This is the husk of the Plantago ovata seed, milled fine and turned into a light, tangy orange drink. Stir a spoon into water and it swells into a soft gel that adds bulk and softness to the stool, which is why families across Gujarat have reached for isabgol for generations.

Riddhish Herbals makes this version with no added sugar and a clean, fully declared composition. It is produced for us by our contract-manufacturing partner in an ISO- and GMP-certified facility, and carried under our own FSSAI licence. Because it is a food supplement rather than a medicine, it suits gentle, everyday use — simple soluble fibre, made pleasant to drink.

Traditional Use of Isabgul

Isabgul has a long history in both Indian and Unani traditions, where the husk is valued as snigdha (unctuous) and picchila (mucilaginous) — qualities that soothe and lubricate the digestive tract. Its action is bulk and water, not force: the husk holds many times its weight in water and forms a soft gel that helps the bowel move comfortably and on its own rhythm. That gentle, non-irritating character is exactly why isabgul has remained a trusted daily fibre rather than a harsh purgative.

Key Features

Research and Scientific Reference

Psyllium (Plantago ovata) husk is among the best-studied dietary fibres for bowel regularity. In a randomised trial, psyllium increased stool frequency and weight and improved stool consistency in adults with idiopathic constipation (Ashraf et al., 1995 — Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics). A separate double-blind study of Plantago ovata reported improved bowel regularity compared with placebo (Tomás-Ridocci et al., 1992 — Revista Española de Enfermedades Digestivas).

How to Use

• Add one dry spoon into an empty glass — a full serving is two spoons, about 15 g.
• Pour in 200 ml of water, stir briskly and drink immediately, before it thickens.
• Follow it up with a second glass of plain water.
• Take once or twice a day, or as directed by your dietitian or physician.

Who Can Use It

Suitable for adults looking for a gentle daily fibre top-up, taken with plenty of water. If you are pregnant, lactating, on regular medication (space isabgul about two hours away from medicines, since fibre can affect absorption), have difficulty swallowing, or are managing a bowel condition, please check with your physician first. Keep out of reach of children.

Safety Information

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this FSSAI-licensed? Is it AYUSH or GMP certified?

It is an FSSAI-licensed dietary supplement (Lic. No. 10721044000031), produced in an ISO- and GMP-certified facility. These are facility certifications. It is a food-category fibre supplement, not an AYUSH-licensed medicine.

Can I take this without consulting a doctor?

As a general daily fibre, isabgul is commonly self-used — simply take it with plenty of water. If you are pregnant, lactating, on regular medication, or managing a health condition, speak with your physician first.

What is isabgul?

Isabgul is the husk of the Plantago ovata seed — a soluble, gel-forming dietary fibre known worldwide as psyllium. It works mechanically, by holding water and adding soft bulk, rather than by stimulating the gut.

What are the alternate names for isabgul?

Also written Isabgol, Isapgol and Ispaghula, and commonly sold as psyllium husk, sat-isabgol or isabgol bhusi. In Hindi इसबगोल (Isabgol), in Gujarati ઇસબગુલ (Isabgul), and in Urdu اسبغول (Aspghol). Botanical name: Plantago ovata.

How is this different from plain isabgol?

It is a ready-to-drink orange blend — isabgul husk with Nimbu Satva and Sarjika Kshar for a mild, pleasant effervescence and a far better taste than raw husk — with no added sugar. If you prefer 100% plain husk, see our Isabgol Husk listing.

Does it contain added sugar?

No. It carries “No Added Sugar” and is sweetened with an approved sweetener, with a natural orange flavour.

Is isabgul habit-forming?

Isabgul is bulk-forming soluble fibre, generally regarded as gentle and non-habit-forming — unlike stimulant laxatives, which are meant only for short-term use.

Will it help with weight goals?

A fibre drink can add a feeling of fullness and fits naturally into a weight-management routine, but it is not a weight-loss product on its own. It works best alongside a balanced diet and good hydration.

Has psyllium been studied scientifically?

Yes. In a randomised trial, psyllium increased stool frequency and improved stool consistency in adults with idiopathic constipation (Ashraf et al., 1995, Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics), and a double-blind study of Plantago ovata reported improved bowel regularity versus placebo (Tomás-Ridocci et al., 1992, Rev Esp Enferm Dig). Results were observed under study conditions; individual results vary.

What is the best way to take it?

Add one dry spoon to an empty glass, pour in 200 ml of water, stir briskly and drink immediately, then follow with a second glass of plain water. A full serving is two spoons (about 15 g), once or twice a day.

How should I store this product?

Store at room temperature, away from sunlight and moisture, with the lid closed tightly. Best used within 14 days of opening.

Is it available at Riddhish Herbals?

Yes — at riddhishherbals.com with pan-India delivery, and at our retail stores in Gujarat.
