Fibre explained / VEKOVIA

Inulin and PHGG: two fibres, one routine.

Why the blend contains both—and what that does and does not tell you.

Vekovia · 17.09.2026

Start with the ingredients

Inulin is a soluble fibre extracted from chicory. PHGG stands for partially hydrolysed guar gum, a different soluble fibre derived from guar. They are not interchangeable names, and combining them does not turn them into a new ingredient with automatically proven benefits.

Microbiome Powder contains 12 g inulin and 3 g PHGG per full daily intake. Inulin supplies most of its declared fibre; PHGG adds a second fibre type. The formula’s rationale is a mixed-fibre routine, not a demonstrated claim of synergy or gentler digestion.

Where regularity enters the story

The EU permits a bowel-function claim for 12 g per day of a specifically defined native chicory inulin. Both the quantity and the raw-material specification matter. The powder’s declared inulin quantity matches the amount, but its supplier specification still needs verification before applying that claim to the finished product.

Separate research on a fibre cannot establish that this blend causes less gas or bloating. Individual tolerance and the rest of the diet also matter; do not treat this ingredient explanation as a personal dosing recommendation.

Compare the two powders

Metabolic Powder has a different balance: 9 g inulin, 2 g PHGG and 3 g glucomannan daily. Its glucomannan-led pre-meal routine has specific water, portion and dietary conditions. It is not a stronger version of Microbiome Powder.

The declared fibres total 15 g in Microbiome Powder and 14 g in Metabolic Powder before other ingredients. These are not finished scoop weights. Exact powder portions and preparation instructions must be confirmed before use.
