Google reviews of Propel Health Australia, the company behind this site
Written by Propel Health Australia, the brand behind it, so we are not neutral. Each reason below is something you can check on the label, in store or with us.
What is the best fibre supplement in Australia? Our PHGG, for these reasons
- About 5 g of fibre in a 6 g serve. Printed on the nutrition panel. With Gut Health Plus, that is the most fibre per serve of any product we sell.
- One ingredient. Partially hydrolysed guar gum and nothing else: no flavours, sweeteners or fillers.
- Dissolves clear, no taste. It stirs into water, coffee, juice or a smoothie without thickening, so you can take it in a drink you already have.
- Independently lab tested. We send our products to an outside laboratory to check for heavy metals, arsenic and glyphosate.
- Stocked in pharmacies and health food stores. Propel Health Australia is stocked in 550+ health food stores and pharmacies around Australia, so you can see the jar on a shelf before you buy. Find one on our store locator.
- From $0.93 a serve. Cost per serve runs from $0.93 to $0.99 depending on the pack. Our 3 pack is the best seller.
Dietary fibre contributes to regular laxation.
Each 6 g serve of our PHGG provides about 5 g of dietary fibre, making it a good source of dietary fibre. Enjoy as part of a healthy diet that includes a variety of foods.
How to choose the best fibre supplement: 5 checks
Use these on any brand, ours included. Each one can be checked on the label or with a calculator.
1. Fibre type
Soluble fibres such as PHGG and inulin dissolve in a drink. Psyllium thickens into a gel and needs a full glass of water straight away. A blend mixes several plant fibres in one scoop.
2. Grams of fibre per serve
Read the dietary fibre line on the nutrition panel, not the front of the pack. Two products with the same ingredient can hold very different amounts. Ours run from 3.5 g to about 5 g a serve.
3. Additives
Check the full ingredient list for flavours, sweeteners and fillers. Our PHGG, organic inulin and psyllium are single ingredients. Our Gut Health Powder blend lists monk fruit flavour extract and a natural flavour.
4. Taste and mixing
PHGG has no taste and dissolves clear. Organic inulin is faintly sweet. Psyllium is mild and grainy and thickens fast. If you will not enjoy taking it, you will not keep taking it.
5. Price per serve
Divide the price by the number of serves, then divide by the grams of fibre in a serve. A cheaper tub is not cheaper if it gives less fibre or runs out sooner.
Best fibre supplements Australia: our five compared
Every comparison on this site uses the same numbers: grams of fibre (or protein) in a serve, what that serve costs, and what 10 g of fibre costs. A bigger number is not automatically a better product. The point is to see the numbers and know what you are paying for.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| PHGG | 6 g | about 5 g | $0.93 to $0.99 | $1.86 to $1.98 |

Fibre from our 2025 labels. Cost per serve runs from the best value pack to the single jar. Cost per 10 g of fibre is the cost per serve divided by the fibre in it, times ten.
