What is PHGG (partially hydrolysed guar gum) and why is it one of the best prebiotics?
Partially hydrolysed guar gum is a type of soluble fiber derived from the guar plant. It has been found to have several potential benefits on the gut microbiome, including:
Prebiotic Effects:
It stimulates the growth and activity of beneficial bacteria in the gut like Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli, which are known to have a positive impact on gut health. It also increases Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and Akkermansia municiphila.
Anti-inflammatory Effects:
PHGG has anti-inflammatory effects in the gut, which can help to protect against inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Improved Digestion:
PHGG improves digestion by increasing stool bulk and promoting regular bowel movements. This can help to alleviate symptoms of constipation and diarrhea.
Reduced Gut Permeability:
PHGG is an excellent addition to leaky gut protocol, since it indirectly stimulates butyrate production. Reducing gut permeability can help to prevent the entry of harmful substances into the body and reduce the risk of inflammation and disease.
Blood Sugar Control:
PHGG has been shown to have a beneficial effect on blood sugar levels, which can help to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
Not all PHGG is created equal. Why Sunfiber®?
High-quality manufacturing: Sunfiber® is manufactured using a proprietary process that ensures a consistent and high-quality product. The manufacturing process is carefully controlled to maintain the purity and functionality of the fiber, leading to better digestive health benefits.
Clinically tested: Sunfiber® has been extensively studied in clinical trials, which have demonstrated its effectiveness in promoting digestive health. It has been shown to improve regularity, reduce bloating, and support healthy bowel function.
Low FODMAP: Sunfiber® is low in fermentable oligo-, di-, and monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAPs), which are types of carbohydrates that can cause digestive discomfort in some people. This makes Sunfiber a good choice for those with sensitive digestive systems or those following a low FODMAP diet.
Easy to use: Sunfiber® is a tasteless and odorless powder that can be easily added to foods and beverages without altering their taste or texture. It can also be used in a variety of recipes to boost fiber intake.
Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856, also known as Lactospore®, is a probiotic strain that has been extensively studied for its potential benefits on gut health.
Supports digestion:
Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856 can improve digestion by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut. It increases the production of digestive enzymes, which can help to break down food and improve nutrient absorption.
Reduces inflammation:
This probiotic strain has anti-inflammatory effects that can help to reduce inflammation in the gut. It can prevent the growth of harmful bacteria that can contribute to inflammation.
Boosts immune function:
Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856 stimulates the immune system, helping to protect against infections and other illnesses.
Alleviates diarrhea:
This probiotic strain has been shown to be effective in reducing the symptoms of diarrhea, including frequency and duration. It may also help to prevent diarrhea caused by antibiotic use.
Improves gut flora balance:
Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856 can help to rebalance the gut microbiome by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria, particularly Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, and reducing the growth of harmful ones.
