Used to relieve constipation and promote bowel regularity, manage diarrhea, support overall digestive health, and may help lower cholesterol levels as part of a heart-healthy diet.

Both pectin and guar gum are soluble fibers that absorb water in the intestines, forming a gel-like substance that adds bulk to stool and helps move food through the digestive tract. They also may help bind to cholesterol in the gut, reducing its absorption.

Should be taken with plenty of water to prevent intestinal blockage. May cause bloating, gas, or abdominal discomfort initially. Those with existing digestive conditions should consult a healthcare provider before use. May affect absorption of certain medications if taken at the same time.
