Guar Gum Dietary Fiber
Digestive Support
Guar Gum (Galactomannan polymer) is an important noncaloric source of soluble
dietary fiber. Guar Gum is a complex carbohydrate derived from the seed of specially
grown bean plants. This carbohydrate is a long chain linear molecule with a molecular
weight of approximately 1 million. The long polymer chains attract and weakly
capture water; as well as physically tangle with one another in solution thus
producing viscosity when mixed with water.
