A psyllium az indiai útifű (Plantago ovata) magjának külső héja (testa) — egy könnyű, fehéres, magas víz-megkötő képességű rost-anyag, amely vízzel érintkezve nagyon viszkózus gélt képez. Más néven „isabgol" (Indiában), „ispaghula" (Egyesült Királyság) vagy „pszillium" (Magyarországon). A teljes magnál (psyllium seed) a héj (psyllium husk) tisztább, hatékonyabb rost-forrás; az élelmiszer- és gyógyszeripar főleg a héjat dolgozza fel. A psyllium-héj kb. 70–80% oldódó rostot tartalmaz (főként arabinoxilán-alapú heteroglikán), a fennmaradó frakció oldhatatlan rost. PMC+1
