SunFiber®Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum (PHGG), Organic

The invisible fibre with visible benefits.

Sunfiber^® Partially Hydrolysed Guar Gum, sometimes called PHGG, is an innovative, soluble dietary fibre which provides digestive support, satiety, and has both prebiotic and probiotic-enhancing features. It promotes healthy balance in the digestive system without the excess gas or bloating often seen with other fibres.

Sunfiber^® is a clinically proven, gluten-free soluble fiber, that is clear when mixed with water. It is a true regulating fiber, improving constipation and poor elimination, and occasional diarrhoea and loose stools. The result is regularity with stool of a healthy consistency.*

What is Sunfiber^® Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum?

Sunfiber^® is produced by hydrolyzation of guar gum, a galactomannan-based soluble dietary fibre. Hydrolyzation is a controlled natural enzymatic process that breaks guar gum down into smaller units, greatly decreasing its viscosity and allowing the particles to dissolve more readily, while maintaining the original fibre content.

Sunfiber^® is a 100% gluten-free fibre. In contrast, many soluble fibres contain gluten, or claim to be gluten-free while having levels as high as 20 ppm.This unique fibre is gentle on your system, tasteless, colourless and odourless and promotes healthy digestive system with many benefits.

How can Sunfiber^® Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum Aid Digestive Health?

Digestive health plays an important role in our daily life. Yet maintaining optimal bowel function can be complicated for some. Being free from constipation, diarrhoea, bloating, flatulence and abdominal pain improves quality of life in many ways.

Sunfiber^® is certified low FODMAP. It supports healthy digestive function without uncomfortable side effects, such as excessive gas, bloating, or loose stool that is commonly seen with high FODMAP foods and fibres in some people. It helps move food through the digestive tract at the right pace, helping you feel full longer. Sunfiber^® powder can be easily added to a wide range of food and drinks without affecting the taste, aroma or texture. Sunfiber^® decreases the post-meal glucose spike by reducing the glycaemic index of foods to which it is added.

Sunfiber^® is a true regulating fibre that not only helps with occasional constipation, but uniquely helps with diarrhoea as well, returning stool content to a normal healthy state without the typical bloating, cramping and gas production of other fibers. Sunfiber® provides a healthy satiety effect and enhances mineral absorption. Sunfiber®  has Grade A and Level 1 evidence recommendation by Clinical Nutrition Supplements.
