PHGG, short for partially hydrolysed guar gum, is a soluble fibre made from the guar bean. It is unflavoured and dissolves clear in water, coffee or a smoothie. Below is every article we have written on it, from how to take it and how much to use each day, to how it compares with psyllium husk, inulin and other fibres.
