Taking gut health supplements? Try the natural way.
Good gut health is linked to a huge number of benefits for your overall health. For example, scientists have linked a healthy gut to improved digestion and even better mental wellbeing.
Your gut is home to over a trillion bacteria, called your microbiome. The many different species live in a delicate balance which helps to protect and support your health. However, poor diet and stress can lead to your microbiome falling out of balance. This, in turn, can lead to health problems. This can be of particular concern for people who have recently taken a course of antibiotics, or are experiencing digestive issues.
How to restore healthy gut flora
You may think you need to take a synthetic gut health supplement, but a diet of natural whole foods can provide everything your microbiome needs.
Our products are made from all natural ingredients and are designed to make caring for your gut easier. For instance, our snacks are made with natural prebiotic ingredients such as tigernut, sprouted buckwheat and linseeds, which nourish the beneficial bacteria in your gut.Â

Prebiotics and probiotics
Many people are unaware that there are two major food groups that can help support good gut health. These are called prebiotics and probiotics.
Probiotics such as live yoghurt and fermented foods such as kimchi provide live bacteria which travel down to your gut. There, they help build up the population of beneficial types of bacteria in your microbiome.
Meanwhile, prebiotics are a special type of fibre which we humans can’t digest. However, the ‘good’ bacteria in our gut can break this fibre down, providing them with food. Eating prebiotic ingredients regularly can help support the populations of beneficial bacteria in your gut.
We use natural prebiotic ingredients in our snacks to help you support your digestive health without compromising on flavour or enjoyment. Alternatively, if you like to make your snacks at home, try our Jerusalem Artichoke powder. It can be added into everything from smoothies to energy balls, cookies and cakes, and provides plenty of prebiotic inulin fibre.
