随着人们饮食的不断丰富，饮食结构也相应发生复杂的变化，肠道问题越来越显著。有超90%的人群正在饱受或在过去曾经经历过胃肠道不适的症状，仅有8.54%的人表示自己未曾出现胃肠道不适的症状（数据来源于春雨医生平台《2021年肠道健康白皮书》），可见肠道健康已经成为大众重点关注的方向之一。
膳食纤维摄入的不足是肠道问题的常见原因之一，因此在选择上，消费者希望不仅可以补足膳食纤维的摄入量，同时还具备有助于肠道管理、提高免疫力等多重益处，这些关键因素使得创新型膳食纤维——半乳甘露聚糖备受市场关注。
Fibalance®是赞倍司利用先进的绿色生物技术自研的一款水溶性益生元膳食纤维（PHGG, partially hydrolyzed guar gum，又称半乳甘露聚糖)。Fibalance®的可溶性膳食纤维含量高达85%，在原料选择上，赞倍司坚持采用非转基因植物源。
