Acacia fibre stands apart from other soluble fibres like inulin or FOS thanks to its exceptional digestive tolerance. Its slow fermentation by the microbiome avoids the sudden gas and bloating that other fibres can cause: the first digestive issues typically only appear at much higher doses (around 50g/day) than with inulin (20–25g/day). This gentleness makes it a good ally for people with a sensitive gut, and it’s certified FODMAP-friendly, fitting even restrictive diets.

Recognised as a very gentle prebiotic, acacia feeds beneficial gut bacteria and supports microbiome diversity. Its slow fermentation generates short-chain fatty acids, including butyrate, valuable for maintaining the gut barrier and modulating local inflammation — a significant rise in short-chain fatty acids has been observed from 10g of daily intake.

One level scoop provides about 2.6g of fibre, to dissolve in water, juice or another drink with meals. To see measurable benefits on gut flora, gradually work up to 10g a day (about four scoops) — starting small lets your digestive system adapt. Its neutral taste blends easily into soups, yoghurts, smoothies or even baking.

Sourced from controlled organic farming, produced without GMOs, chemical fertilisers or pesticides. Every manufacturing step, from grinding the gum to packing, takes place in France. Suitable for vegan, gluten-free and low-FODMAP diets.

This food supplement is not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep the resealable pouch (with scoop) in a cool, dry place.

Why choose acacia fibre over other fibres?

Acacia fibre is known for its excellent digestive tolerance — its slow fermentation minimises the gas and irritation common with other fibre sources, and its neutral taste makes it easy to mix into drinks and meals.

How should I dose it day to day?

Start gently with about 2.5g a day, then build up to 10g spread across the day to get the full microbiome benefits. Taking it with meals helps it dissolve smoothly.

Is it suitable for everyone?

Yes, it suits most adults, including those with digestive sensitivity. It’s vegan, gluten-free, low in fermentable sugars, and one of the few fibres certified FODMAP-friendly.
