Both are prebiotic fibres. Both feed your gut microbes.
But they behave very differently — which is why one might suit your goals better than the other.

Choose Inulin if you want:

• Weight-loss support

• Appetite control

• Better sleep

• Extra fibre bulk for bowel movements

Inulin ferments quickly, which can:

• Feed helpful bacteria

• Support blood-sugar balance

• Reduce cravings

• Influence appetite hormones

It’s great for people looking to shift metabolism or eating patterns.

Pro tip: Start slow — inulin ferments fast, and high doses can mean bloating until your gut adjusts.

Choose PHGG (Partially Hydrolysed Guar Gum) if you want:

• Gut repair

• Less bloating / IBS support

• Mental clarity (goodbye, brain fog)

• Healthier skin, hair, nails

• More stable mood and motivation

PHGG is a slow-fermenting, gentle prebiotic — ideal for sensitive guts.

But gentle ≠ weak.

PHGG has research behind it for:

• Improving stool form

• Reducing bloating

• Supporting the gut–brain axis

• Feeding beneficial bacteria without gas

• Helping restore microbiome balance

Many people find PHGG affects their whole system — digestion, clarity, energy, even mood.

Why people take both

Some stack them:

• PHGG for gut repair + clarity

• Inulin for appetite control + fibre bulk

They complement each other well, as long as doses are introduced gradually.

FYI

Wonder Foods makes clean versions of both (no fillers, no additives), and both are independently tested for glyphosate — but you can use any reputable brand.
