What is Partially Hydrolysed Guar Gum (PHGG)

Partially hydrolysed guar gum (PHGG) is a unique soluble fibre, a type of nondigestible complex carbohydrate that holds water as it forms a gel in your digestive tract. This may have some rather profound effects on metabolism, including reducing total cholesterol, lowering triglycerides, increasing HDL cholesterol, stabilizing blood sugar response to a meal, reducing digestive inflammation, curbing appetite, and assisting weight loss efforts.

Guar gum comes from the guar bean, which is a legume. Technically, guar gum is galactomannan gum, a glyconutrient with a mannose backbone and galactose branches.

Because of it’s many studies confirming the health benefits PHGG is now available in a convenient high quality prebiotic supplement powder form. Special water-utilizing production processes (no chemicals) now enable a partially hydrolyzed guar gum. This extremely unique fibre with its low viscosity, dissolves completely in water and has no taste, making it very easy to consume.

PHGG Benefits

Irritable Bowel Syndrome Support

Partially hydrolysed guar gum (PHGG) has been shown to be an effective treatment of patients with irritable bowel syndrome. Studies have shown that 12-week administration of PHGG led to a significant improvement of journal bloating score in the PHGG group versus placebo, as well as in bloating + gasses score. The effect lasted for at least 4 weeks after the last PHGG administration.

Provides Solid Regularity

Usually fibers can help alleviate constipation. But Ariya PHGG performs without the elusive side effects of diarrhea. Ariya PHGG alleviates constipation without overly degrading stool firmness, and provides regularity with healthy consistency.

Superior Absorption of Calcium and Magnesium

The majority of dietary fibers limit the absorption of essential minerals such as magnesium and calcium into the body. Ariya PHGG, on the other hand, actually promotes the absorption of such encouraging minerals, ensuring the human body receives the maximum benefits from digestable foods.

Controls Blood Sugar Levels

Ariya Health PHGG is a secret weapon for anybody suffering from glucose intolerance or troubles with blood glucose management, especially diabetics. Regardless whether Ariya PHGG is embedded in the food or ingested with water during a meal, it assists the body in combating increased blood glucose levels by manipulating the glycemic index of foods.

Butyrate Production

Prebiotics feed beneficial microbes in the gut such as Akkermansia, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii & Bifidobacterium which in turn produce short chain fatty acids (such as butyrate) promoting overall gut health benefits. Partially hydrolysed guar gum has been shown in studies to increase Bifidobacterium levels and increases the abundance of butyrate producing bacteria thus in turn increasing butyrate levels in the gut.
