The husk is supplied whole and unmilled rather than ground into powder. One 454 g resealable bag contains about 45 servings at the 10 g level. There are no other ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"npsy-faq-q\" id=\"npsy-faq-fibre\"\u003eHow much fibre is in a serving?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"npsy-faq-a\"\u003eA 10 g serving, which is 2 level tablespoons, contains 7 g of fibre. Of that, 6 g is soluble fibre and 1 g is insoluble. Across the whole product that works out at roughly 70 g of fibre per 100 g, which is why it qualifies for the EU nutrition claim high fibre. The threshold for that claim is 6 g per 100 g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"npsy-faq-q\" id=\"npsy-faq-whole-vs-powder\"\u003eWhat is the difference between whole husks and psyllium powder?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"npsy-faq-a\"\u003eWhole husks are the unmilled husk, coarse and flaky. Powder is the same material ground finer. The fibre content per gram is broadly similar. The practical difference is handling: powder disperses into liquid more readily, while whole husks need more vigorous stirring and are drunk immediately before they thicken. Neither format is superior; it is a texture and convenience preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"npsy-faq-q\" id=\"npsy-faq-claim\"\u003eDoes psyllium husk carry an authorised EU health claim?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"npsy-faq-a\"\u003eNo. There is no authorised EU health claim for psyllium husk, so we make none on this page. Some fibres do hold authorised claims, such as beta-glucans from oats and barley, guar gum and pectins, but those authorisations apply only to the specific substance named in the register and cannot be applied to psyllium. Anything you see online presenting a psyllium health claim as EFSA-authorised is inaccurate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"npsy-faq-q\" id=\"npsy-faq-legal\"\u003eIs psyllium husk legal to sell in Ireland?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"npsy-faq-a\"\u003eYes. Psyllium husk is a permitted food ingredient and is sold in Ireland as a food supplement, regulated by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland. What is restricted is not the ingredient but the language used to market it: without an authorised health claim, retailers may describe the composition and format but may not attribute health benefits to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"npsy-faq-q\" id=\"npsy-faq-vegan\"\u003eIs it suitable for vegetarians and vegans?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"npsy-faq-a\"\u003eYes. The pack is marked Vegetarian\/Vegan and the product is a plant seed husk supplied loose in a bag, so there is no capsule shell or coating to consider. We confirm suitability markings against the stock we physically hold rather than relying on manufacturer web listings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"npsy-faq-q\" id=\"npsy-faq-mix\"\u003eHow do I mix it so it does not clump?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"npsy-faq-a\"\u003eAdd the husks to at least 350 ml of water or juice, stir vigorously, and drink straight away. Whole husks begin to thicken on contact with liquid, so the window is short. Adding the liquid first and the husks second, then stirring immediately, reduces clumping. Follow with more fluid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"npsy-faq-q\" id=\"npsy-faq-allergens\"\u003eAre there any allergens?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"npsy-faq-a\"\u003eThe pack states that the product may contain traces of sesame, which is a declarable allergen, so avoid it if you are sesame allergic. It is not manufactured with yeast, wheat, gluten, soy, corn, milk, egg, fish, shellfish or tree nut ingredients, though it is produced in a GMP facility that handles those allergens. Note that \"not manufactured with gluten\" is a statement about the manufacturing inputs and is not the same as a certified gluten-free claim, so we do not describe this product as gluten free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"npsy-faq-q\" id=\"npsy-faq-precautions\"\u003eAny precautions?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"npsy-faq-a\"\u003eAlways take it with at least a full glass of liquid, as taking it dry or with too little liquid may cause choking. Do not take it if you have difficulty swallowing. Start with a smaller amount and build up gradually over several weeks. It is for adults only. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or taking any medication, speak to your doctor or pharmacist before use, as fibre taken at the same time as medication can affect absorption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"npsy-faq-q\" id=\"npsy-faq-delivery\"\u003eHow fast is delivery, and are there customs charges?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"npsy-faq-a\"\u003eOrders are dispatched next working day from our warehouse in Dublin by DPD.
