Partially hydrolyzed guar gum (PHGG) is a soluble fiber, also considered a prebiotic derived from Cyamopsis tetragonolobus L., with lower viscosity and the ability to retain a considerable share of the fiber content. It is used on a large scale in enteral feeding, as a dietary fiber supplement, in drinks and foods, and in the food industry in general. However, little is known about the effect of PHGG on the absorption of minerals and its mechanisms, but recent studies have shown the benefits associated with prebiotic intake on mineral absorption, with no damage to the body growth of the animals.
PHGG increases the concentration of bifidobacterium and lactobacilli species and increases short-chain fatty acids in the colonic lumen [8–13]. It has also been shown to have a positive effect on some medical conditions, e.g., reducing blood cholesterol and controlling blood sugar levels [14–16]. In addition, it was found to be effective in the treatment of acute diarrhea in children and adult patients of intensive care units [17–19]. PHGG has proved to be effective in softening and improving fecal output and increasing bulking capacities (8).

PHGG is entirely water soluble and completely tasteless. It is super easy to incorporate into smoothies, or even sprinkling on food. It has a very strong normalising effect on stool frequency and consistency. Anyone serious about gut health should aim to take this daily.
