Guar bean fibres 200 gram

Digestive power from the guar bean

The guar plant (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba) is cultivated in various regions of India, even in areas with extreme drought. In India, the leaves and beans of this plant have been consumed for thousands of years. Guar beans provide a high amount of soluble prebiotic fibre. Sunfiber® is used in guar bean fibres from Vitals, the brand name for guar bean fibres that are given their high-quality, user-friendly properties such as excellent water solubility through a natural fermentation process. Sunfiber® fermented guar bean fibres are regarded worldwide as the perfect dietary fibre!

What are fibres or dietary fibres?

Dietary fibre is a long chain of carbohydrates consisting of 10 or more monosaccharides that cannot be broken down by digestive enzymes in the human small intestine. Dietary fibre is essential for a healthy and varied diet. Dietary fibres can be divided into two types: those that are water-soluble and those that are not. Examples of water-soluble fibre are guar bean fibre (galactomannan), inulin (FOS) and psyllium fibre. Wheat bran and fibre from other (wholegrain) cereals are not water-soluble fibre. Dietary fibres that are soluble in water are also known as prebiotics, as they can be fermented by the intestinal flora. The higher the solubility of a dietary fibre, the better its fermentation. In the intestinal flora, fermentation leads to the formation of metabolic products such as short-chain fatty acids, including butyrate, propionate and acetate. However, it is important that the fermentation process does not take place too quickly, as otherwise gas formation can occur.

Sunfibre® from Taiyo

Sunfiber® has the perfect characteristics of excellent water solubility and complete fermentation, but not too fast. This makes the product very user-friendly, in contrast to psyllium fibres, which dissolve much less easily in water, and inulin, which is fermented very quickly. Sunfibre® is produced by Taiyo. The company is a world leader and an expert in guar bean fibres. Guar bean fibres normally form a gel in water. Taiyo has therefore developed a special manufacturing process to better dissolve the fibres. The gel formation is caused by the fact that the fibres of the guar bean consist of naturally very long carbohydrate chains. Thanks to a fermentation process (in which a natural enzyme is added), the long chains are "pre-digested" into shorter chains, which improves their solubility. However, the carbohydrate chains should not be too short, otherwise they will ferment too quickly in the intestine. Taiyo's unique production process achieves the optimum chain length, which gives Sunfiber® its ideal properties. Sunfiber® is also made from guar bean fibres that come exclusively from unsprayed, cultivated guar beans.

Ingredients

Fermented guar bean fibres (from Indian guar beans, Cyamopsis tetragonoloba).

Recommended dosage

Take 1-2 level scoops (5-10 grams) per day with a meal. Mix with (approx. 200 ml) water or another liquid. Allow the mixture to stand for a while so that the fibres can dissolve completely. The fibres can also be added to food (e.g. yoghurt), even hot food. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake.

One measuring spoon for 15 ml (= approx. 5 grams) is enclosed.

Limited shelf life after opening.

Storage instructions

Store in a cool, dry place away from light (not in the refrigerator).

Legal information

The recommended daily intake must not be exceeded. Food supplements are no substitute for a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Store out of the reach of small children.
