Information About Guar Gum Dietary Supplements
What is Guar Gum? What is Guar Gum Used For?
Guar gum is extracted from the seed pods of the guar tree grown in the southwestern United States. It swells when it comes into contact with water and reportedly produces a sense of fullness when eaten. Guar gum is commonly added to a range of low-fat foods (eg. dressings and ice cream) to improve satiety.
Guar Gum Banned in Weight Loss Supplements
Guar gum was also a common ingredient in over-the-counter dietary and weight loss supplements. It was typically used as a bulking agent to increase the sense of fullness. However, in 1992 the FDA banned the use of guar gum in diet pills. Guar gum was banned because of a number of adverse health events (eg. gastric and intestinal blockages, vomiting, bloating) which had occurred among those who had taken diet pills containing guar gum. So guar gum can no longer be included in dietary or weight loss supplements.
