Partially hydrolysed guar gum (PHGG) is a unique soluble fibre, also known as an indigestible complex carbohydrate which is naturally derived from the guar bean plant.
PHGG naturally contains glucomannan. This prebiotic starch helps to feed the good bacteria in the colon, which helps to enhance short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), bifidobacterium and lactobacilli species that positively benefit gut health.
Key Features
- PHGG does not swell in water like many other fibres, making it less viscous and much more pleasant to drink
- PHGG is a well tolerated, easy-to-use powder to boost your daily fibre intake
- Easily consumable, digestible and tasteless
- PHGG promotes growth of good bacteria & short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) for optimising GIT integrity
- Soluble fibre helps to Increase beneficial bacteria and reduce pathogenic bacteria populations
- PHGG has been shown to reduces IBS symptoms and improve digestion
- Soluble fibre helps to improve stool output and consistency
- PHGG can be an ideal choice for SIBO and other digestive conditions (flatulence, bloating & constipation)
