Are You Getting Enough Fibre Every Day?
As Indians, our undying love for rice means we eat more carbs than fibre or protein. Fibre plays such a crucial role in our lives. I have personally observed massive transformation just by tweaking the order in which I consume the different macros on my plate.
But if, like me, you sometimes find yourself struggling to get your veggies in, then acacia fibre is just what you need.
As the name implies, it is literally FIBRE!
Acacia fibre is derived from the gum arabic tree and is a soluble fibre that can help your body in ways too many to count.
If you’ve never heard of it, you’re not alone — I too was in the dark. But once you discover it, pure magic…
Come along as we uncover everything you need to know about this superfood galore!
What Is Acacia Fibre?
Acacia fibre, also called gum arabic, is a natural soluble fibre made from the sap of the acacia tree (Acacia senegal and Acacia seyal).
Our acacia fibre is:
-
100% natural and unhydrolysed.
-
Free from additives, colours, flavours, or sweeteners.
-
Tasteless, odourless, and colourless — mixes without altering drinks or food.
-
Smooth in texture with no grit when prepared correctly.
How to Mix It
Some people find it doesn’t dissolve instantly. Here’s the right method:
-
Add the powder to your cup first.
-
Pour in water or juice and stir.
-
Let it rest, then stir again.
-
Repeat this 2–3 times until fully dissolved.
This process ensures a clean mix with no residue.
Nutrition and Dosage
-
A single tablespoon of acacia powder = 6 g fibre, covering about 20% of the daily requirement for adults.
-
If you’re sensitive, begin with 1–2 g per day.
-
Gradually increase to 6 g per day (1 tablespoon).
-
Always consume with at least a full glass of water (250 ml).
-
Research studies have tested doses up to 30–40 g per day, though this should only be done with medical supervision.
Health Benefits of Acacia Fibre
1. Digestive Health and Prebiotic Support
Acacia fibre feeds friendly bacteria in the gut, such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus. This makes it a prebiotic, supporting a balanced microbiome and easing bloating or discomfort.
2. Safe for IBS and Sensitive Stomachs
Unlike many other fibres, acacia fibre is low-FODMAP and free from gluten, acids, and artificial additives. It does not trigger IBS and is safe for those managing both IBS-D (diarrhoea) and IBS-C (constipation).
3. Supports Regularity
By drawing water into the bowel, it softens stool and supports healthy bowel movements. This makes it useful for relieving constipation naturally.
4. Blood Sugar and Cholesterol Balance
Soluble fibre slows sugar absorption in the gut, reducing sudden spikes. It can also bind fats, supporting cholesterol control.
5. Satiety and Weight Management
Because it slows digestion, acacia fibre helps you feel full longer. This can reduce snacking and support weight management.
Acacia Fibre and Kidney Health
This YouTube video recently highlighted research suggesting acacia fibre may support people on dialysis. Some studies indicate it may help reduce toxin build-up by improving gut microbiota balance, which could indirectly reduce stress on the kidneys.
⚠️ However, acacia fibre is not a cure for kidney disease and does not replace dialysis. The research is promising but still developing. Anyone with kidney conditions should consult a doctor before adding supplements to their diet.
How to Take Acacia Fibre
-
Mix 1 tablespoon in water or juice.
-
Stir, rest, and stir again until fully dissolved.
-
Drink immediately.
-
Can also be added to smoothies, soups, or tea since it is tasteless.
-
Best taken on an empty stomach in the morning or before meals.
