Psyllium Husk: Whole vs Powder, Metamucil Ingredients & How to Read a Fiber Label

Audio from the Clean Food Score video of the same name; the video shows the labels and scores on screen.

Plain psyllium husk, whole or powder, should list exactly one ingredient, while some flavored fiber supplements add sweeteners and artificial dyes. We explain what psyllium is, the FDA's careful heart-health claim wording, the liquid warning on every label, and real picks with their label scores (as of October 2026).
