Gut Health

Our gut health supplements have been specially developed to help support a healthy immune system, restore gut health and promote overall health and wellbeing both mentally and physically.

Our gut health supplements come in powder, capsules and gummies, which contribute to a functioning digestive system, allowing you to absorb key nutrients from your diet and supplementation routine.

Digest supplements contain probiotics, which are often described as ‘good bacteria’; probiotics help restore the natural balance of bacteria in your gut following illness or other disruption, and there is some evidence that they help relieve the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Additionally, studies suggest that having a healthy gut can help keep the heart healthy, with certain heart conditions having been linked with our gut microbiome.
