Together with insoluble fibers, they form a valuable part of a fiber-rich, varied diet. Examples of soluble fibers include guar bean fibers and psyllium, while insoluble fibers can be found in wheat bran and whole grains.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGuar: a natural source of fiber\u003cbr\u003eThe guar plant (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba) naturally grows in dry areas of India and requires remarkably little to thrive. Thanks to this resilience, it is a sustainable crop choice. The beans and leaves of this plant have been part of the Indian diet for thousands of years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGalactomannan as the main fiber structure\u003cbr\u003eThe dietary fibers from guar beans mainly consist of galactomannan. This is a carbohydrate structure made up of long chains of sugar molecules: mannose (the main chain) and galactose (the side branches). Galactomannan naturally consists of long chains that, when combined with water, form a thick and sticky mass.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSunfiber®: soluble fiber with the ideal chain length\u003cbr\u003eSunfiber® is produced from galactomannan and undergoes a carefully controlled process of partial hydrolysis. In this process, the long fiber chains are shortened to smaller structures with an optimal length using a natural enzyme. This results in a fiber that is well soluble in water. Sunfiber® is now the most researched water-soluble fiber in the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeutral taste, light texture, and excellent solubility\u003cbr\u003eThe carefully adjusted chain length of Sunfiber® provides a unique combination of properties:\u003cbr\u003e- Exceptionally good solubility in both cold and hot liquids\u003cbr\u003e- Neutral taste and texture, without aftertaste or odor\u003cbr\u003e- Low viscosity, so no thick or sticky structure\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile regular guar gum can form a thick, sticky structure, Sunfiber® remains light and smooth. Even at higher dosages, it retains its clear, liquid character. Thanks to its neutral taste and odor, it mixes effortlessly in water, shakes, yogurt, or other foods without affecting the taste or texture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVery well tolerated and low-FODMAP\u003cbr\u003eThanks to its excellent solubility and low dosage threshold, Sunfiber® is certified as low-FODMAP. This means it fits within a FODMAP-restricted diet, making it suitable for people who consciously want to avoid certain fermentable carbohydrates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSustainably grown with rich traditions\u003cbr\u003eThe journey of Sunfiber® begins on the dry agricultural lands of Northwest India, in the state of Rajasthan. In villages like Mokheri, around 50,000 farming families have been cultivating the guar plant for generations, a modest yet powerful legume that thrives with minimal water supply.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter the monsoon, farmers sow their crops, then wait a hundred days for the pods to ripen. The harvest is done entirely by hand, and the plants are dried in the sun in the field. This artisanal method preserves the quality of the plant and its fibers, allowing nature to do the work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly a non-genetically modified plant species is used, with respect for soil health, biodiversity, and local communities. Moreover, long-term collaborations contribute to a stable income and better future opportunities for farming families in the region.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNatural fiber, advanced processing for optimal quality\u003cbr\u003eAfter the harvest, a refined production process begins. In a specially developed facility, the guar gum is dissolved in purified water from a reverse osmosis system. Then, carefully measured enzymes are added for a mild enzymatic hydrolysis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor thirteen hours, the fiber chains are naturally shortened to their optimal length. The mixture is then sterilized through a process similar to pasteurization and subsequently spray-dried into a fine, white powder.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClean, controlled, and fully traceable\u003cbr\u003eAfter drying, the product undergoes a final quality control. A powerful magnetic filter removes any possible metal particles, after which Sunfiber® is packaged under pharmaceutical-controlled conditions. Each batch receives a unique code, making the product fully traceable from raw material to final packaging.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSunfiber® thus offers not only a reliable and pure fiber but also the assurance of a product made with care and integrity. A perfect balance between craftsmanship and science.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eComposition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"width:500px\"\u003e\n\t\u003ctbody\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposition per maximum daily dosage of 1 scoop of 5 grams:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eGuar bean fibers (Sunfiber® AG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e5 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIngredients\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGuar bean fibers (Sunfiber® AG, Cyamopsis tetragonoloba).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eUsage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTake 1 to 2 scoops per day.
