What is ?

PHGG (partially hydrolyzed guar gum) is a soluble dietary fiber obtained from guar gum through a special hydrolysis process. During this process, the components of guar gum are broken down into smaller, water-soluble parts. The result is a fine, tasteless, and colorless powder that dissolves effortlessly in liquids. Biomfiber PHGG can be easily and conveniently integrated into the diet, for example in water, yogurt, or smoothies. This makes it a simple way to increase daily fiber intake.

Unlike many other dietary fibers, PHGG does not swell and does not bind additional water in the intestine. This helps prevent bloating or a feeling of fullness. PHGG is therefore particularly suitable for people who are sensitive to certain fibers. In addition, it is Low-FODMAP certified and an ideal supplement for a balanced diet. FODMAPs are difficult-to-digest carbohydrates that can cause digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals. People who react sensitively to them therefore often choose foods with a low FODMAP content.

Biomfiber PHGG is a natural source of dietary fiber that contains no artificial additives or flavorings. Thanks to the special hydrolysis process, it also retains its original structure and dissolves easily in liquids. This allows PHGG to fit effortlessly into everyday life and offers a practical way to enrich the diet with soluble fiber.

Scientific background about

PHGG has been extensively studied in scientific research and is considered to be particularly well tolerated. This soluble dietary fiber undergoes a special hydrolysis process that reduces the viscosity of guar gum, allowing it to dissolve easily in water without gelling or forming clumps. This water solubility contributes to the high tolerability of PHGG and helps prevent unpleasant symptoms such as bloating or gas.

Studies suggest that PHGG acts as a prebiotic fiber by supporting the growth of healthy gut bacteria.² During fermentation by the microbiota, short-chain fatty acids such as butyrate are produced, which may play a role in maintaining normal gut barrier function. This makes PHGG easy to integrate into a balanced diet and helps contribute to a varied fiber intake.

In addition, Biomfiber PHGG is low in FODMAPs, making it a good choice for people with irritable bowel syndrome or SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth). The Low-FODMAP diet aims to reduce fermentable carbohydrates (such as fructose, lactose, and certain sugar alcohols) that can cause digestive discomfort in some individuals. Due to its mild effect and specific properties, PHGG is well suited for long-term use to support digestion without causing the typical side effects associated with other fibers.
