Inulin vs PHGG: Which Prebiotic Should You Take?
TL;DR: Your Gut Heuristic
Trying to lose weight or improve sleep? → Go for Inulin. Want to fix your gut and feel sharper and clearer? → Choose PHGG
As gut health moves into the spotlight, more people are discovering the power of prebiotics — and with that comes a common question we hear almost every day:
“Should I take Inulin or PHGG?”
While both are natural prebiotic fibres that feed your gut microbes, they work differently in the body.
Here's a quick guide (heuristic) to help you decide.
Use Inulin if your focus is:
- Weight loss
- Appetite control
- Better sleep
- Fibre bulk for bowel movements
Inulin is a fast-fermenting fibre that helps feed beneficial bacteria and can support blood sugar regulation — which ties into sleep and cravings.
It’s ideal for those looking to gently shift metabolism and appetite patterns.
💡 Note: Start slow! Inulin can cause bloating for some if taken in high doses right away.
Use PHGG (Partially Hydrolysed Guar Gum) if your goal is:
- Gut repair
- Mental clarity and brain fog relief
- Bloating and IBS support
- Healthy skin, hair, and nails
- Mood and motivation boost
PHGG is slower-fermenting, making it much gentler — even for sensitive guts.
But don’t mistake “gentle” for “weak.”
PHGG supports total-body wellness, from digestion to cognitive function, without the gassy side effects some get with other fibres.
