Acacia fibre comes from the dried sap of certain African acacia species, harvested by spontaneous flow or controlled incision, with no chemical processing. The single ingredient is 100% organic acacia fibre powder — no excipients, additives, GMOs or nanoparticles. Its branched structure dissolves fully in water while remaining neutral in taste and smell. The 350g format with dosing scoop covers about 5 weeks at the optimal 10g/day dose.

Acacia fibre stands out for its remarkable digestive tolerance — slow fermentation by gut flora avoids sudden gas and bloating. Initial digestive discomfort typically only appears above 50g/day, compared with 20–25g for inulin and fructo-oligosaccharides. Certified FODMAP-friendly, it fits even the most restrictive diets and particularly suits those with irritable bowel or functional digestive disorders.

As a very gentle prebiotic, acacia nourishes beneficial colon bacteria and boosts microbiome diversity. Its slow fermentation generates short-chain fatty acids, including butyrate, valuable for maintaining the intestinal barrier and epithelial cell renewal. Measurable effects on gut flora have been observed from as little as 10g/day, with acacia fibre’s butyrate-boosting capacity exceeding that of other common soluble fibres.

One level scoop provides about 2.6g of fibre. For optimal microbiome effects, gradually work up to 10g a day (about four scoops), split across meals — starting small and increasing lets the digestive system adapt gently. Dissolve in water, juice, a smoothie, yoghurt or soup; its neutral taste stays invisible in any preparation. Drink enough water alongside your fibre intake.

Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Seek advice from a healthcare professional if pregnant, breastfeeding or on medical treatment. Store in the resealable pouch to preserve freshness.

What’s the difference from other soluble fibres?

Acacia fibre’s slow fermentation significantly reduces bloating risk — tolerance is excellent up to 50g/day, versus about 25g for FOS and 20g for inulin.

How should I dose it daily?

Start gently with one 2.5g scoop a day, then gradually increase to 10g split through the day, ideally taken with meals.

Is it suitable for sensitive digestion?

Yes — certified FODMAP-friendly, it’s one of the few fibres suited to those with irritable bowel syndrome, and it’s vegan and gluten-free.
