inulin + guar gum

Inulin + guar gum is a combination of two soluble dietary fibers used primarily to support gastrointestinal health and metabolic function. Inulin, a fructan-type polysaccharide, acts as a potent prebiotic, selectively stimulating the growth of beneficial gut bacteria such as Bifidobacteria. Guar gum, a galactomannan derived from the guar bean, provides significant viscosity and bulking properties. Together, these fibers increase stool frequency and consistency, promote satiety, and slow the absorption of dietary carbohydrates and lipids, which can help manage postprandial glucose levels and cholesterol. The combination is widely available as a nutraceutical and has been investigated in clinical trials for its effects on obesity, type 2 diabetes, and irritable bowel syndrome.
