Guar gum
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Guar gum is an orally active nonionic galactomannan polysaccharide. It is present in the endosperm of Cyamopsis tetragonolobus seeds. Guar gum reduces cholesterol levels, regulates body weight, and acts as a thickener and viscosity modifier by forming hydrogen-bonded aqueous solutions. It serves as a rate-controlling excipient in compound delivery systems, and finds applications in the food, tissue engineering, nanosensing and industrial fields.

Biological Activity
Guar gum (50-100 g/kg diet; administered orally via diet; daily; for 21 days) reduces body weight gain and food conversion rate in male Wistar rats in a dose-dependent manner in vivo, indicating its regulatory effects on nutrient utilization and growth[2].
