PHGG: The Prebiotic Fibre That Supports Memory and Sleep
PHGG - More Than Just Digestion
When most people think of fibre, they think of gut health and regularity. But new research shows that some fibres can do far more — even supporting brain health, memory, and sleep quality. One of the most exciting is Partially Hydrolysed Guar Gum (PHGG).
The Research: PHGG for Memory and Sleep
A 2024 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial published in Nutrients (Abe et al., 2024) studied the effects of PHGG in healthy older adults. Participants consumed 5g daily for 12 weeks, with striking results compared to placebo:
- Better visual memory and cognitive performance
- Improved sleep efficiency and less morning sleepiness
- Increased vitality with reduced confusion and fatigue
This means PHGG is not just a digestive aid — it may also function as a nutritional tool for healthy ageing, brain function, and overall wellbeing.
Why PHGG Works Beyond the Gut
PHGG is a gentle prebiotic fibre that nourishes beneficial bacteria in the gut. In turn, these bacteria produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which play a role in:
- Gut–brain communication
- Sleep regulation
- Cognitive clarity and mood balance
This emerging research positions PHGG as a true functional food — supporting digestion, mental clarity, vitality, and restorative sleep.

Lifestyle Matters Too
Nutrition and movement work hand in hand.
Regular activity supports circulation, cognitive performance, and sleep quality. When combined with gut-supportive nutrition like PHGG, you’re giving both your brain and body what they need to thrive.
Key Takeaway
PHGG is more than a gentle prebiotic fibre.
Backed by new research, it supports gut health, memory, vitality, and sleep quality. As part of a healthy lifestyle, it’s a practical daily step towards better digestion and sharper, more energised living.
