This is the tropical flavour of Natural Factors Organic Low FODMAP Reliefibre, a fibre powder. Every 6.7 g scoop contains 5 g of Reliefibre organic partially hydrolyzed guar gum. Source of fiber for the maintenance of healthy gastrointestinal functions.
What is partially hydrolyzed guar gum?
Guar gum is a fibre milled from the seeds of the guar plant, a legume. Partial hydrolysis shortens the fibre chains so the powder becomes fully soluble and stays thin when mixed. Reliefibre is an organic, low FODMAP grade of this fibre.

Why the tropical version?
The fibre content matches the unflavoured Reliefibre scoop for scoop. The difference is taste: the larger scoop size accounts for the tropical flavouring, which turns a glass of water into a fruit-flavoured drink.

Naturally sourced from organic guar beans, Reliefibre is a highly soluble dietary fibre and prebiotic.
