Partially hydrolysed guar gum (PHGG) is a natural water-soluble dietary fibre derived from guar gum. Guar gum is extracted from guar beans from the Cyamopsis tetragonolobus plant. PHGG is obtained by the controlled partial enzymatic hydrolysis of guar gum. PHGG is a unique soluble fibre, a type of nondigestible complex carbohydrate (prebiotic fibre) that holds water as it forms a gel in the digestive tract. Prebiotics assist to stimulate the growth and/or the activity of beneficial bacteria in the colon and may improve digestive health. The main prebiotic starch found in guar gum is glucomannan. The bacteria in your colon will ferment glucomannan into intestinal fuel called short chain fatty acids (SCFAs). These SCFAs provide wide-reaching benefits for gut and immune health.
PHGG is 100% natural, taste free, odour free, gluten free and GMO free. It easily dissolves in liquid and can be added to cooking and baking. PHGG is also IBS and FODMAPs friendly! PHGG is indicated for poor digestive function, helps with constipation & promotes a healthy intestinal eco system.
