Fibalance™ PHGG – fountain of youth for the gut

Fibalance® PHGG is a soluble prebiotic fibre. PHGG stands for “partially hydrolysed guar gum”. Partially hydrolysed means that the long sugar molecules are shortened in order to achieve easy solubility in water and low viscosity. Precise control of the molecular weight distribution at around 20,000 Daltons is crucial for the function of partially hydrolysed guar gum (PHGG) and requires cutting-edge technologies. Very few products on the market can offer this.

Fibalance™ a gentle prebiotic and ideal dietary fiber

Prebiotics promote the colonisation and growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut. These fibres are not digested by the body but can serve as a nutritional substrate for a healthy microbiome. Adults should consume about 25 to 30 grams of fibre per day, but studies show that many adults and children fall well short of the recommended amount. This can lead to health problems such as indigestion, increased risk of certain diseases, and inadequate nutrient absorption. The intake of fibre-rich foods is therefore very important but is also associated with unpleasant effects: Common prebiotics often consist of small molecules that cause diarrhoea due to their high osmolarity, while others often lead to flatulence due to their fermentative properties. Fibalance™ is soluble fibre and is unlike any other…

What is special about Fibalance™

Using a proprietary and patented hydrolysis process, Fibalance™ delivers a reduced, defined molecular weight and has a low viscosity. It is certified “Low FODMAP” by Monahsh University (www.monashfodmap.com). A low FODMAP diet can effectively relieve irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), reduce bloating, and improve abdominal pain.

Technical properties of Fibalance™

  • Excellent stability: heat stability from -18°C to 120°C, pH stable between pH3 and pH8
  • Low viscosity: The viscosity of a 5% (w/v) aqueous Fibalance™ solution is <10 cps. Suitable for various foods, including beverages, without affecting texture or consistency.
  • Advantageous formulation options: Fibalance™ is highly soluble in water, colorless , odorless, non-hygroscopic

Health benefits:

  • Blood sugar control: Fibalance™ effectively reduces peak blood sugar levels after eating carbohydrates by up to 30%.
  • Weight and body fat management: Fibalance™ reduces subcutaneous fatty tissue by up to 10% and body weight by over 6%.
  • Healthy microbiome: Fibalance™ helps to increase the number of beneficial intestinal bacteria and effectively inhibits the number of conditionally pathogenic strains.
