Known as PHGG (so it is less of a mouthful) Partially Hydrolysed Guar Gum is a unique soluble fibre that assists in a range of digestive benefits. In addition to that, it is also popularly known for it's ability to make you feel full for longer, helping reduce over-eating.
PHGG stands for Partially Hydrolysed Guar Gum. It is a type of soluble, prebiotic dietary fibre derived from guar beans that feeds beneficial gut bacteria, helping improve overall digestive health and regularity. PHGG dissolves easily in liquids and won’t gel like unprocessed guar gum.
PHGG supports digestive health, helping regulate bowel movements and improving stool consistency. It may also relieve symptoms of bloating, constipation and diarrhoea, and encourages the growth of healthy gut bacteria.
