This is 4 oz. bulk Supercol Brand Type U GUAR GUM (FOOD GRADE), manufactured in United States (Kenedy, TX) by Hercules Inc., Aqualon Division. This Guar Gum is a very high quality and high purity product, so purchase with confidence. See my other listings for more interesting and unusual items, please email with any questions. Supercol guar gum is a high-purity, food-grade, water-soluble polymer that functions in foods by changing the viscosity of the water or controlling its mobility. In this way, usable stabilization, thickening, water-binding and viscosity control are produced without adding calories. Supercol guar gum is used as a mouthfeel enhancer, as a thickener and water binder in the bakery, in the beverage, meat, meat analogues and pet food segments of the food and beverage market, and as a rheology modifier in personal care products. TECHNICAL INFORMATION Guar is a leguminous plant that grows to a height of three to six feet. It bears many beanlike pods, each of which contains six to nine small, rounded seeds. Because of its drought resistance, it grows mostly in semiarid regions of the world such as India and Pakistan. The growing season is 20 to 25 weeks long, and harvesting takes place in the fall. The guar seed is typically made up of 40 to 46 percent germ, 38 to 45 percent endosperm, and 14 to 16 percent husk. Supercol guar gum is prepared by removing the husk and germ portions before extracting the gum from the endosperm, to yield high-purity powder products of varying granulation and viscosity. Chemically, guar gum is a galactomannan, best illustrated with galactose on every other mannose unit.

Guar gum is used as a laxative. It is also used for treating diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), obesity, and diabetes; for reducing cholesterol; and for preventing “hardening of the arteries” (atherosclerosis). In foods and beverages, guar gum is used as a thickening, stabilizing, suspending, and binding agent. In manufacturing, guar gum is used as a binding agent in tablets, and as a thickening agent in lotions and creams. How does it work? Guar gum is a fiber that normalizes the moisture content of the stool, absorbing excess liquid in diarrhea, and softening the stool in constipation. It also might help decrease the amount of cholesterol and glucose that is absorbed in the stomach and intestines. There is some interest in using guar gum for weight loss because it expands in the intestine, causing a sense of fullness. This may decrease appetite. guar gum Uses & Effectiveness Possibly Effective for: Diarrhea. Adding guar gum to the tube feeding formula given to critical care patients may shorten episodes of diarrhea from about 30 days to about 8 days. High cholesterol. Taking guar gum seems to lower cholesterol levels in people with high cholesterol. Guar gum and pectin, taken with small amounts of insoluble fiber, also lower total and “bad” low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, but don't affect “good” high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol or other blood fats called triglycerides. Diabetes. Taking guar gum with meals seems to lower blood sugar after meals in people with diabetes. By slowing stomach emptying, guar gum may also lessen after-meal drops in blood pressure that occur frequently in people with diabetes. Constipation. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Possibly Ineffective for: Weight loss. Insufficient Evidence for: Hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis). Other conditions. More evidence is needed to rate the effectiveness of guar gum for these uses. guar gum Side Effects & Safety Guar gum is LIKELY SAFE for most people when taken with at least 8 ounces of liquid. The water is important because it reduces the chance of choking or developing a blockage in the intestine. Side effects include increased gas production, diarrhea, and loose stools. These side effects usually decrease or disappear after several days of use. High doses of guar gum or not drinking enough fluid with the dose of guar gum can cause blockage of the esophagus and the intestines. Special Precautions & Warnings: Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Taking guar gum during pregnancy in typical amounts is POSSIBLY SAFE. But not enough is known about the safety of taking guar gum during breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use. Gastrointestinal (GI) obstruction: Don’t take guar gum if you have a condition that causes obstruction or narrowing of your esophagus or intestine. Surgery: Because guar gum might affect blood glucose levels, there is a concern that it might interfere with blood glucose control during and after surgery. Stop taking guar gum at least 2 weeks before a scheduled surgery. guar gum Interactions Moderate Interaction Be cautious with this combination Ethinyl estradiol interacts with GUAR GUM Ethinyl estradiol is a form of estrogen that's in some estrogen products and birth control pills. Guar gum can decrease how much ethinyl estradiol the body absorbs. Taking guar gum along with estrogen-containing medicines might decrease the effectiveness of estrogen. Medications for diabetes (Antidiabetes drugs) interacts with GUAR GUM Guar gum might decrease blood sugar. Diabetes medications are also used to lower blood sugar. Taking guar gum along with diabetes medications might cause your blood sugar to go too low. Monitor your blood sugar closely. The dose of your diabetes medication might need to be changed. Some medications used for diabetes include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), chlorpropamide (Diabinese), glipizide (Glucotrol), tolbutamide (Orinase), and others. Metformin (Glucophage) interacts with GUAR GUM Guar gum can decrease how much metformin the body absorbs. Taking guar gum along with metformin can decrease the effectiveness of metformin. Penicillin (Penicillin VK, Pen VK, Veetids) interacts with GUAR GUM Guar gum can decrease how much penicillin the body absorbs. Taking guar gum along with penicillin can decrease the ability of penicillin to fight infection. Minor Interaction Be watchful with this combination Digoxin (Lanoxin) interacts with GUAR GUM Some people worry that guar gum can decrease how much digoxin the body absorbs. But it is unlikely that guar gum will significantly affect digoxin absorption. guar gum Dosing The following doses have been studied in scientific research: BY MOUTH: For constipation: 12 grams per day. Start with a small dose of 4 grams per day and increase the dose slowly over time to limit unwanted gastrointestinal (GI) side effects. For diabetes: 15 grams per day. For high cholesterol: 15 grams per day of guar gum plus pectin in combination with 5 grams insoluble fiber. For irritable bowel syndrome (IBS): 5 grams of partially hydrolyzed guar gum (PHGG). PHGG is guar gum that has been chemically treated to make it dissolve in liquids and keep it from being broken down by acid or heat.
