Moderate Evidence

Evidence Summary

Acacia fiber is a soluble dietary fiber derived from the sap of Acacia trees. It acts as a prebiotic, feeding beneficial gut bacteria, and has been studied for relieving constipation and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms. In clinical trials, daily supplementation with around 10 g improved stool frequency in adults with constipation-predominant IBS, and a fiber blend containing acacia performed comparably to a standard laxative (PEG) in children with chronic constipation over 8 weeks. Benefits typically appear within 4–8 weeks of consistent use.
