phgg fiber supplement
The 2025 Conference on FSMP (Food for Special Medical Purpose) and Clinical Nutrition Development was grandly held in Huai’an on May 14th, bringing together industry leaders to explore the integration of “FSMP + Clinical Nutrition” and the emerging trends shaping the future of the field. Among the highlights was ZymeBase’s presentation on Fibalance™ — a PHGG fiber supplement designed to meet the specialized nutritional needs of medical nutrition applications.
Dr. Jeff Yu from ZymeBase Inc. delivered a keynote presentation titled “Starting from Fibalance™ PHGG: Developing Innovative Prebiotics with a Focus on the FSMP Sector.” In his talk, Dr. Yu highlighted application cases and clinical trial data showcasing Fibalance™’s role in the FSMP space, with a focus on meeting the diverse nutritional needs of patients across age groups and conditions.
For clinical nutrition applications, the properties of a PHGG fiber supplement are particularly well suited: Fibalance™ is low in viscosity, fully water-soluble, and gentle on sensitive digestive systems. Its Monash Low-FODMAP certification and slow, steady fermentation profile make it appropriate for enteral nutrition formulas and patient populations where digestive comfort is essential. Backed by published clinical research across gut health, IBS support, and bowel regularity, the ingredient offers formulators both efficacy data and safety assurance — two critical requirements in the FSMP sector.
Dr. Yu also introduced ZymeBase’s two latest prebiotic innovations under development: Partially Hydrolyzed Fenugreek Gum (PHFG) and Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP), as part of the company’s continued efforts to provide science-driven, functional ingredients tailored for the market.
The conference presentation reinforced ZymeBase’s position at the intersection of prebiotic science and medical nutrition. As the FSMP sector continues to grow, ZymeBase remains committed to expanding the clinical evidence base for PHGG fiber supplement applications and developing next-generation functional ingredients that serve patients across the full spectrum of nutritional needs.
