Acacia gum improves intestinal comfort and, consequently, digestive wellness. A study commissioned by Alland & Robert to demonstrate these health benefits was conducted by Mérieux NutriSciences, an international leader in consumer insights and sensory marketing.
Many consumers today know that a happy, healthy gut is key to overall well-being. There is significant demand for foods, beverages and dietary supplements with digestive health benefits. As the leading manufacturer of acacia gum since 1884, Alland & Robert responds to these new consumer expectations for digestive health.
Acacia gum is a safe, 100% plant-based and natural ingredient. Its low calorific value makes it ideal for dietary applications, supplements and fibre enrichment. A true "miracle product", acacia gum combines nutritional, functional and environmental strengths with unique properties that respond to societal and food trends.
The Alland & Robert study's key findings are significant:
- More than 70% of consumers felt an improvement in their intestinal comfort after 1 month.
- More than 8 in 10 people perceived an improvement in their intestinal comfort after 2 months.
- 88% of consumers reported low intestinal pain after 60 days.
- 78% of consumers say that taking acacia gum has a beneficial effect on their gut health, and 70% say it improves their quality of life.
Acacia gum improves overall digestive wellness and relieves the symptoms of intestinal discomfort. Taking acacia gum has a beneficial effect on consumers' overall health, making it an efficient ingredient for formulating gut-health-friendly foods and beverages.
As science continues to unveil the far-reaching role the gut plays in overall health, our study also suggests that a healthy gut benefits other areas of health, and that acacia gum may play a role in areas such as skin and appetite.
