Regularity
Naturally supports regular laxation via prebiotic activity and uniform fermentation through the bowel. At its core, PhytoBiome® is also a supreme structural fibre that keeps hold of water in the bowel.
PhytoBiome®.
The ingredient that changes everything.
PhytoBiome® is a natural, whole plant prebiotic dietary fibre derived from Australian virgin cane. It is the world’s first complete structural fibre and phytonutrient-rich prebiotic that supports digestion and your microbiome in the same way as true vegetable fibre — not isolated, not purified, not ultra-processed — whole plant fibre to a versatile powder.
PhytoBiome® stands alone as the new standard in microbiome diversity and prebiotic fibre nutrition. Health Food Symmetry is the only global manufacturer of virgin cane prebiotics.
Each person’s microbiome is unique to them. Discover a prebiotic unique to us.
What is PhytoBiome®?
Sugarcane is approximately 70% water, 15% sugar, and 15% fibre and nutrients. PhytoBiome® is that 15% — gently separated via a patented, 100% chemical-free process using only water, with most of the sucrose removed.
The result preserves the plant’s natural cell wall structure, leaving cellulosic fibre, phytonutrients, and the full prebiotic matrix intact.
No chemicals. No isolation. No purification. Just the plant vegetable fibre and phytonutrients — minus the sugar.
A true vegetable fibre.
PhytoBiome® has a fibre composition that closely mirrors the complexity of whole vegetables — something no other prebiotic ingredient on the market can claim.
85% of total fibre is insoluble — comparable to broccoli (60–70%), spinach (91%), Brussels sprouts (64%), and green beans (57%). No other fibre supplement replicates this vegetable-fibre profile.
“One serve of PhytoBiome® (1.5g) can deliver the fibre functionality equivalent of up to two serves of fruit and vegetables — without the calories.”
The phytonutrient profile.
PhytoBiome® contains a naturally occurring micronutrient profile that has no equivalent in other fibres on the market:
Chromium: 10.2mg/kg (68% of adequate daily intake): essential to blood glucose management and insulin sensitivity
Silicon: 16.3g/kg (65% ADI): essential for bone and connective tissue development
Selenium: 2.4mg/kg (65% RDI): antioxidant, essential to enzyme function
Iron: 22mg/100g: essential to haemoglobin function
Polyphenols: 259.6µg: natural plant antioxidants with anti-inflammatory properties
Trace minerals: Zinc, Magnesium, Manganese, Calcium, Copper
Policosanols and Tricin
Vitamins B2, B3, B5, B6
Why uniform fermentation is the breakthrough.
The defining feature of PhytoBiome® — confirmed by the University of Queensland — is its uniform fermentation rate along the full length of the digestive tract, from foregut to hindgut.
Most fibre supplements (inulin, guar gum, FOS/GOS, resistant starch, wheat dextrin) ferment more rapidly in the foregut only. This can produce a burst of gas and bloating, drive selective enrichment of a narrow range of bacteria, and delivers no activity to the hindgut — where much of the microbiome’s diversity and Short Chain Fatty Acid (SCFA) production actually occurs. SCFAs are like beneficial medicines our body makes for itself.
PhytoBiome® ferments slowly and steadily through the entire colon. This means:
- Lower gas production — no rapid fermentation spike
- Broader microbiome diversity support — feeds primary and secondary fermenting gut microbes across the whole gut
- Higher butyric acid production — the most important SCFA for gut lining health and anti-inflammatory activity (University of Queensland in vitro fermentation study)
- Sustained prebiotic activity to the distal colon — the region most fibres never reach

How PhytoBiome® is made.
PhytoBiome® is produced through a patented, 100% chemical-free proprietary process at HFS’s Queensland facility. The process uses only potable water — no solvents, no chemical agents.
Step 1:
Harvesting
fresh virgin sugarcane sourced directly from Queensland fields with full track-and-trace
Step 2:
Size Reduction
the plant material is reduced to an optimal particle size
Step 3:
Recovery
The bulk of sucrose is removed via the chemical-free water dilution process, leaving the fibre matrix, phytonutrients, and cell wall intact
Step 4:
Drying
Managed temperature drying preserves bioactivity
Step 5:
Bagging
packaged under controlled conditions for a 3-year shelf life
The facility operates under a carbon offset program, achieves carbon neutrality, and recycles all wastewater back to local cane fields. Full NATA third-party testing confirms zero agricultural residues.
