Vitals Guar Gum Fibers
With Sunfiber®, soluble fibers from Indian guar beans

The guar plant (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba) is cultivated in several parts of India, even in areas experiencing severe drought. The beans and leaves of this plant have been part of the Indian diet for thousands of years. Guar beans are a rich source of soluble prebiotic fibers. Vitals' Guar Gum Fibers utilize Sunfiber®. This is the brand name for guar gum fibers that acquire their superior user-friendly properties through a natural fermentation process, such as excellent solubility in water. The fermented guar gum fibers from Sunfiber® are globally regarded as the ideal fibers!

What are fibers?
Dietary fibers are long chains of carbohydrates, consisting of 10 or more carbohydrate building blocks (monosaccharides), and cannot be broken down by digestive enzymes in the human small intestine. Dietary fibers are an important part of a varied and balanced diet. Fibers can be divided into two categories: soluble and insoluble fibers. Examples of soluble fibers include guar gum fibers (also known as galactomannan), inulin (FOS), and psyllium fibers. Insoluble fibers include wheat bran and fibers from other (whole grain) cereals. Soluble fibers are also referred to as prebiotics because they can be fermented by the gut flora. The better a fiber is soluble, the better it is fermented. During fermentation by the gut flora, metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids (including butyrate, propionate, acetate) are produced. However, it is important that this fermentation process does not occur too quickly, as it may cause gas formation.

Sunfiber® from Taiyo
Sunfiber® has the ideal properties of excellent water solubility and a not too rapid, but complete, fermentation. This makes the product very user-friendly compared to, for example, psyllium fibers that dissolve significantly less well in water and inulin that is fermented very quickly. Taiyo is the producer of Sunfiber® and a global market leader and expert in guar gum fibers. The fibers from guar beans typically form a gel in water. Therefore, Taiyo has developed a special production process to improve the solubility of the fibers in water. The reason for this gel formation is that guar gum fibers naturally consist of very long chains of carbohydrates. Through a fermentation process (by adding a natural enzyme), the long chains are pre-digested in the factory into shorter chains, which are much better soluble. However, the carbohydrate chains should not be too short, as they would then be fermented too quickly in the intestine. Taiyo's unique production process ensures the optimal chain length and gives Sunfiber® its ideal properties. Moreover, the Sunfiber® in Guar Gum Fibers is entirely made from cultivated guar beans.
