Nutritional Information

Directions

Mix 5g (1 tsp) daily into at least 200ml of water or other beverage of choice.
Do not exceed the recommended dose, unless advised by your healthcare professional.

PHGG is normally well tolerated, but if you have a sensitive stomach, start with half a dose and build up gradually to the full dosage.

PHGG has been consumed by pregnant and lactating women for years, and it has been shown to be a safe way to improve regularity and reduce cramping and bloating. As with any supplement, however, please consult with your health care practitioner prior to use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

FAQs

I am nervous about taking prebiotics as I get bloating and I am worried this will make it worse?

PHGG is a specially chosen prebiotic as it is well tolerated in the majority of people, unlike some other prebiotics like Fructooligosaccharides (FOS). However, all of our microbiomes are unique, so when trying to change your microbiome there may be some transient changes in bowel movements and abdominal sensations, none of which should be uncomfortable.

In people with sensitive stomachs, we suggest starting with a lower dose and gradually increasing to the full dose over a number of weeks, so only the benefits are noticeable.

What is the best way to take PHGG?

This product is best mixed into a hot beverage to help it to dissolve. It is heat stable so can be used in food and hot drinks where it dissolves easily. Avoid mixing into cold water as this may make it clump, but it’s great mixed into a smoothie and as a healthy addition to baking. Once opened, use within 2 months.

I'm using the tablespoon dosage but this differs from the gram dosage, which is correct?

There are a few factors in play here – powders can settle over time, the density may vary from batch to batch and though there is a standardised tablespoon size, home measuring equipment (such as scales) can have small variations. The best way to ensure you are getting the correct dosage is to weigh your dosages as the products are standardised per gram.

Is Bio.Me Prebio PHGG suitable for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

Is Bio.Me Prebio PHGG suitable for somebody following a kosher diet?

All of the ingredients contained in Bio.Me Prebio PHGG are certified kosher.

What is the difference between PHGG and Guar Gum?

PHGG undergoes hydrolysis by enzyme, which is then inactivated by heat. This enables the bonds in the product to be accessible to microbes to use as fuel source.
