Why do the Agel products contain “Guar Gum”?
Agel uses guar in combination with xanthan gum to form the unique gel matrix which is the core technology of the Agel products. The guar gives the gels their structure and contributes the ability of the gels to facilitate availability of the active ingredients. It is not present as a bulking agent for any satiety effect. Guar gum is Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) with differing percentages set for its allowable concentration in various food applications. It is approved by the FDA for use as an emulsifier, thickener, and stabilizer.
