PHGG vs psyllium: which daily fibre should you actually take?

Isabgol (psyllium) is India's default fibre. PHGG is what most people should probably be taking instead. Here's the honest comparison.

Psyllium: effective, but hard to live with

Psyllium works — it's well studied for regularity. But it thickens instantly into a gel most people can't stand drinking, it can cause gas and bloating early on, and compliance collapses within weeks. A fibre you quit is a fibre that doesn't work.

PHGG: the daily-friendly prebiotic

• Dissolves completely clear — no sludge, no texture, works in any drink
• Truly prebiotic — selectively feeds beneficial gut bacteria (bifidobacteria), studied for both constipation and loose stools
• Gentler — low-FODMAP-friendly and less gas-forming than psyllium at effective doses
• Studied at ~5 g/day — a realistic daily amount, not a heroic one

The real difference: which one you'll still take in March

Fibre only works daily. That's why SILT Mornings uses PHGG at the full 5 g clinical dose inside a Lemon Orange morning drink you'd actually look forward to — the fibre disappears into the ritual instead of fighting it.
