About Acacia

Acacia fiber is a soluble dietary fiber derived from the hardened sap (gum) of Acacia senegal and Acacia seyal trees. It consists primarily of complex polysaccharides, mainly arabinogalactan proteins, which are highly branched and resistant to digestion in the small intestine. This allows it to function as a prebiotic, fermenting in the colon to produce short-chain fatty acids. It is known for its high solubility, low viscosity, and excellent tolerance compared to many other fibers. It forms clear solutions and is stable under a wide range of pH and temperature conditions.
