PHGG Partially Hydrolysed Guar Gum 100g

Your outside reflects your inside, so make sure you’re shining thanks to Partially Hydrolysed Guar Gum (PHGG). PHGG is a soluble prebiotic fibre made from the seed of the guar plant. You may know of guar from the food additive guar gum, which is used as a thickener in foods due to its high viscosity (ability to thicken). PHGG is different to guar gum because it is “pre-digested” using hydrolysation, reducing it’s thickening actions but keeping the same gut-loving properties. As PHGG ferments slowly, it is FODMAP friendly making it ideal for those who are sensitive to other great but rapid fermenting fibres like inulin and fructooligosaccharides. PHGG is all-natural, gluten free, vegan, tasteless, odourless and dissolves easily in food and beverages, the functional fairy dust to make all your gut dreams come true.

If there was a super mineral, then zinc would be a contender. Zinc is an essential micronutrient that is crucial to more than 200 enzymatic reactions and plays a key role in growth, immune function, testosterone metabolism, and numerous other functions in your body.

Clinical studies demonstrate zinc supplementation can increase general wellness, and that it has a beneficial impact on connective tissue, as well as reproductive and eye health.*

If the body has trouble absorbing a nutrient, then it can’t obtain the nutrient’s benefits. Thorne offers two highly absorbable forms of zinc: Zinc Picolinate and Zinc Bisglycinate. Zinc Picolinate is zinc that is bound to the organic acid picolinic acid, which is naturally made in the body from the amino acid L-Tryptophan. Zinc Bisglycinate is zinc that is bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine – creating a true amino acid chelate.

Benefits of Thorne’s Zinc supplement suite:

  • Zinc is necessary for the development and function of the cells related to our immune response
  • Essential for activation of a certain group of white blood cells – called T-lymphocytes (T-cells) – that moderate the body’s inflammatory response during times of immune stress
  • Studies have found that the antioxidant-promoting properties of zinc help mitigate oxidative stress – a process that damages cells and tissues and can lead to several chronic health conditions
  • Promotes healthy skin and eyes
  • Needed to support the body’s normal production of testosterone, a hormone essential for promoting lean muscle mass
