Shelf Life and Storage of Psyllium Products

Psyllium is a natural, plant-derived fiber that has gained immense popularity across the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food industries. From psyllium husk to psyllium powder, manufacturers and distributors worldwide rely on its purity and consistency. However, to maintain its quality, proper shelf life management and storage practices are crucial.

At Akash Agro Industries, a leading global supplier of premium-quality psyllium, we emphasize educating our B2B partners on how to store psyllium effectively to preserve its functional properties and ensure optimal performance in end products.

Understanding Psyllium Shelf Life
The shelf life of psyllium products largely depends on storage conditions, packaging, and the form of psyllium. On average:
Psyllium husk can last 2–3 years when stored under ideal conditions.
Psyllium powder generally has a slightly shorter shelf life of 1–2 years, due to its higher surface area which makes it more sensitive to moisture and contamination.
Proper storage prevents degradation, maintains fiber content, and ensures that the product remains safe for use in supplements, foods, and pharmaceutical applications.
