Tell me more about Partially Hydrolysed Guar Gum (PHGG)

Derived from Guar Beans, PHGG is a prebiotic powerhouse that nourishes beneficial gut bacteria, leading to the production of short chain fatty acids. This shift in the colon's pH helps foster an environment where harmful organisms struggle to thrive, promoting digestive health.

PHGG offers relief from a range of gastrointestinal woes. Our range of PHGG is your natural, gluten-free and GMO-free ally, that dissolves effortlessly, perfect for beverages, cooking and baking, and is IBS and FODMAP Friendly.

What are some ways to take PHGG?

1. Water Mix

Because PHGG dissolves clear, the most common way to take it is simply stirred into a large glass of water. Most people prefer this first thing in the morning to set their digestive system for the day. Unlike other fibers, it won't turn into a gel, so you don't have to chug it before it thickens. This is generally the most common way of taking PHGG. 

2. Smoothies and Protein Shakes

PHGG is a favorite addition to post-workout shakes or fruit smoothies. Since it has no flavour, it provides a "hidden" fiber boost (usually 5–7g per scoop) without altering the texture or taste of your drink.

3. Hot Beverages (Coffee & Tea)

Unlike many probiotics or fibers that are heat-sensitive, PHGG is heat-stable. Many people stir it into their morning coffee or tea. It dissolves instantly and doesn't change the mouthfeel of your hot drink, making it a seamless part of a morning ritual.

4. Stirred into Soft Foods

If you prefer not to drink your supplements, PHGG can be easily mixed into moist foods like yoghurt, porridge, soups and stews.
