Partially Hydrolysed Guar Gum (PHGG) is a type of non-digestible complex carbohydrate (prebiotic fibre) that holds water as it forms a gel in the digestive tract.
PHGG relieves symptoms in constipation-predominant and diarrhoea forms of IBS.
PHGG appears to exert prebiotic properties, by increasing the concentration of intestinal short-chain fatty acids, Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria. PHGG assist to stimulate the growth and 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.
