Gut Health

2 products

Digestion reaches further than we tend to think — into energy, into mood, into how well we absorb the nutrients we eat. Fibre, water, meal rhythm and stress are the four factors that come up most, and changing one of them is usually noticeable. Probiotics are live microorganisms added to the gut flora you already have; strains and amounts vary enormously between products, so the label is worth reading. Prebiotics are the fibres they feed on. Digestive enzymes are used by some people with heavy meals. Glutamine is an amino acid naturally present in the gut lining. If you have persistent symptoms — pain, sudden changes, or blood — that needs a doctor, not a supplement. The products in this category are listed below. Where to start: add fibre slowly and drink more water while you do — a fast increase is the most common reason people give up in the first week. The BioHack generator takes your diet into account and only suggests products that match it.
