Folinic Acid Powder, a heavily sought after active form of folate. Folate receptor antibodies have been found to be elevated in those in ASD [this is an immune reaction which can be improved heavily and reversed by microbiome work]. Higher doses of active folates like Folinic Acid can help to support deficiencies of folate inside cells. Folinic Acid Powder is a 180 day supply & 5mg = 5000mcg serving of folinic acid for only $39. This amounts to about 22 cents per serving. Discuss with your practitioner for need before use. It is always important to support other methylation processes in the body and these are typically supported with the administration of a broad multivitamin (B) with active and non active components (like our top seller Spectrum Max).
Folinic acid powder is mixed with partially hydrolyzed guar gum (PHGG) from Fibalance™ because a clean filler is needed because of the very small volume dose associated with 5mg of Folinic Acid. 5mg is 1/1000th of a teaspoon and it would be very difficult to measure this amount out. Folinic acid powder includes 750mg of (PHGG) per dose to better measure out the volume with a spoon.
About Fibalance (PHGG).
(PHGG) is the safest broadest prebiotic fiber available; it very slowly and broadly feeds important butyrate producing microbiomes in your gut and has been used for years with thousands of individuals particularly in ASD for beneficial GI support. Relatively speaking 750mg is a tiny amount of PHGG, for instance doses in the 5000mg to 10,000mg range are used in microbiome balancing. PHGG is used in several of our products, such as Gut Guardian, Prebiotic Repair, Colostrum Fusion, and Diversity Blend. (PHGG) has nearly No taste.

More On (PHGG)
(PHGG) Reduces Constipation
(PHGG) (partially hydrolyzed guar gum) has been used in many studies to reduce constipation and increase bowel movement frequency. In addition to this, research shows that PHGG consumption improves stool consistency, changing it from hard to normal.
Consuming (PHGG) also seems to reduce the need for the use of laxatives and enemas, taking their use from 2 to <0.1 and from 7 to 8 down to 1 to 3, respectively.
Partially hydrolyzed guar gum at 5g/day increases colonic transit time (essentially the speed at which your digestive system moves food through it) by about 12 hours in constipated patients, and by about 22 hours in those with slow transit time.
Interestingly, these benefits occurred when using a wide range of dosages of (PHGG) within these studies. Dosages from 5g/day to 36g/day were used, all with significant benefits to constipation.
This means that even at dosages as low as 5g/day, you may notice improvements in bowel movement frequency, abdominal pain related to constipation, and stool consistency.
(PHGG) Reduces Diarrhea
Acute instances of diarrhea can be disruptive and sometimes dangerous.
(PHGG) significantly reduces the incidence of diarrhea as well as the frequency of diarrhea in those with health issues that make them more prone to this condition.
In a study of healthy adults made to have diarrhea (by giving them a hefty dose of sugar alcohols), 10g of (PHGG) strongly reduced the incidence of diarrhea by a cumulative 82%.
It seems that a higher relative dose of partially hydrolyzed guar gum is beneficial for diarrhea; these studies used doses from 5g all the way up to 28g/day with good effect.
Given the evidence, I suggest around 10g/day for those dealing with diarrhea.
(PHGG) Improves IBS Symptoms
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a condition that can lower your quality of life significantly. It also happens to be where (PHGG) really shines.
(PHGG) (partially hydrolyzed guar gum) has been shown to significantly improve a host of IBS symptoms, including:
- Bloating
- Abdominal Pain
- Bowel habits
- Flatulence (gas)
- Abdominal spasm
- Quality of life
In addition to this, (PHGG) decreases the concentration of methane in stool. This may be particularly helpful for those dealing with methane dominant SIBO.
The dosages used in these studies ranged from 5 to 10 g/day, but even at the lower dosage partially hydrolyzed guar gum was highly effective in reducing IBS symptoms.
Therefore, if you suffer from IBS, just taking 5g/day of (PHGG) may help improve your symptoms.
