Houston Market Supply
Houston receives psyllium shipments through Port of Houston, which handles 60% of Gulf Coast nutraceutical imports. US dietary supplement manufacturers source 99% purity grades for capsule production. Houston buyers prefer 100-200 mesh powder because it flows better in encapsulation machines. Indian psyllium dominates because Gujarat produces 80% of global supply. Lead time averages 25-30 days to Houston terminals. Most orders are 20ft containers, around 12-14 MT net. Buyers here pay premium for consistent mesh size and low moisture. Port charges run $800-1200 per container depending on season.

Powder Grade 99% Specifications
This grade has maximum 8% moisture, minimum 99% purity. Foreign matter stays under 1%. Mesh size is 100-200, which means ultra-fine powder. Good for capsule filling because fine particles compress evenly and dissolve faster. Moisture under 8% prevents clumping during storage and transport. Higher purity means less waste during manufacturing. This mesh range works in automatic encapsulation equipment without clogging. Color is light cream to white. No added carriers or anti-caking agents.

Price Positioning
Powder grade costs 15-20% more than husk grade but saves buyers milling expenses. No need for in-house grinding equipment. Houston buyers pay $2800-3400 per MT FOB depending on order size and season. Superfine mesh commands premium because processing yield is higher. Regular buyers get better rates on repeat orders. Saves freight costs versus air shipping smaller batches. Good margin for supplement brands doing 500+ kg monthly volume.
