Xanthan gum thickens liquids and stabilizes mixtures by increasing viscosity and preventing ingredient separation. It is commonly used in food and supplements to ensure homogeneity.

Xanthan gum functions as a thickening and stabilizing agent by increasing the viscosity of liquids. This prevents the separation of ingredients in food products and supplements, ensuring a homogenous mixture. It does this by forming a network of long, complex carbohydrate molecules within the liquid, essentially creating a gel-like structure at low concentrations.
