Sunfiber® partially hydrolysed guar gum is a soluble dietary fibre that is naturally sourced from the guar bean plant.
Sunfiber® is an excellent prebiotic for maintaining digestive health and microflora balance.
It promotes healthy bowel function and regularity, improves bowel consistency and helps return stool to a normal healthy state without bloating.
PHGG is a great way to increase your daily intake of fibre.
