What are gut health supplements?

Gut health supplements encompass various products designed to support digestive health by enhancing digestion, increasing nutrient absorption, and supporting overall gut function. 

Probiotics are popular gut health supplements. These live organisms comprise different strains of ‘friendly’ or beneficial bacteria and help support a healthy gut and optimal digestion. Prebiotics are nutrients that feed the gut flora, and while they are found in many foods, they are also available as gut health supplements. At Healthylife, we recommend obtaining probiotics and prebiotics by eating a balanced diet of fresh foods, but supplements may be a good option when your diet is lacking or to add an extra boost.

Other popular gut health supplements include digestive enzymes, dietary fibre supplements and herbs to help alleviate gastrointestinal upsets. 

Are there benefits to taking supplements for your gut?

The benefits of taking supplements for your gut may include healthier and more balanced gut flora, improved nutrient absorption, better food breakdown, relief from digestive discomfort, and improved overall gut function. Additionally, they may help maintain regularity and support immunity.

Probiotics comprise numerous strains of beneficial bacteria designed to support gut health. They may help restore balance to the gut microbiome – the complex community of microorganisms that live in the gastrointestinal tract. They may also help alleviate nutritional intolerances, such as lactose intolerance, and enhance the gut’s absorption of micro and macronutrients.

Prebiotics may aid in food breakdown, help reduce gas and bloating and assist in nutrient absorption. Dietary fibre supplements may support regularity, and herbs like milk thistle may support the liver. In cases of gastrointestinal upset, herbs like slippery elm may help alleviate symptoms such as digestive discomfort.

What is the best gut health supplement to take?

The best gut health supplement depends on your individual needs. Probiotics with diverse strains and prebiotics for nourishing gut flora are often recommended. However, it’s best to consult with your healthcare professional to select supplements tailored to your personal health goals.
