25 to 30 grams a day. Can you manage that?

The Dutch Nutrition Centre (Voedingscentrum) recommends a minimum of 25 grams of fiber per day for women and 30 grams for men. The average Dutch person only reaches about 21 grams. That gap matters: adequate fiber intake is linked to regular bowel movements, a feeling of satiety, and the beneficial effects that occur when gut bacteria ferment fiber into short-chain fatty acids such as butyrate, propionate, and acetate.

Our Plant-Based Dietary Fiber offers a practical addition. One scoop of 7.5 grams in the morning, in a glass of water or a smoothie, and you’re off to a good start of the day!

Why Fiber is so Important

Dietary fiber consists of the indigestible parts of plant-based foods: carbohydrates that are not broken down in the small intestine, but reach the large intestine largely intact. That is where the real work happens. Part of the fiber is fermented by the gut flora, while other parts add bulk and help bind water in the stool.

Not every fiber behaves the same way. Fibers vary greatly in solubility, viscosity, and fermentation rate, and these differences directly determine how a fiber feels in practice: from completely unnoticeable to clearly noticeable in the form of bloating or flatulence.

What is Sunfiber® and what is PHGG?

Our Plant-Based Dietary Fibers consist of 100% Sunfiber®, a branded product from the Japanese company Taiyo. The raw material is guar bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba), a legume grown primarily in India.

Guar bean fiber naturally consists of long polysaccharide chains (galactomannans) that form a thick, often slimy gel when mixed with water. This makes unprocessed guar gum in supplement form less practical: it clumps, has an unpleasant mouthfeel, and has limited solubility. An enzymatic hydrolysis process, in which these long chains are broken down into shorter fragments, results in partially hydrolyzed guar gum (PHGG): a fiber with a much lower molecular weight and lower viscosity that dissolves completely in water without gelling.

This structural change is not only relevant to taste and ease of use. A fiber’s molecular weight and chain length also determine how quickly and how intensively gut bacteria can ferment that fiber.

It doesn’t get easier than this

Sunfiber® dissolves within seconds in any liquid, cold or hot. No clumping, no gel formation, no taste, and no smell.

Each package includes a double-sided measuring scoop:

• Small lace: 2.5 grams (leveled off)
• Large side: 7.5 grams (leveled off)

Recommended use: Adults should take 5 to 10 grams daily with a meal. Stir it into your coffee, tea, water, juice, yogurt, or smoothie. It dissolves in seconds.

Are you trying a fiber supplement for the first time? Then we recommend to start with 2.5 grams a day and gradually increase the dose until you reach the full dosage.
