Gut & Digestion

Your gut – so much more than just a digestive organ

A healthy gut is the foundation of your overall well-being. Around 70–80% of your immune cells are located here, trillions of bacteria form your microbiome, and more than 90% of your serotonin – the “happiness hormone” that regulates your mood – is produced here. Through the gut–brain axis, your gut constantly communicates with your brain and influences your mental clarity, emotions, and energy. But what does your gut truly need to stay healthy? And how can you support it effectively when issues arise?

The microbiome – trillions of helpers for your health

Your microbiome is made up of trillions of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms living in your gut. They digest fiber, produce vitamins (like K2 and B12), train your immune system, and protect you from pathogens. A healthy, diverse microbiome is essential for strong immunity, smooth digestion, and even your weight and mood.

Pre- and probiotics support your microbiome: probiotics deliver live, beneficial bacterial strains, while prebiotics (fiber) “feed” these bacteria and promote their growth. ActiveBRAVO yogurt is a fermented milk product with live cultures that naturally strengthens your microbiome. ColoSTABIL® combines pre- and probiotics specifically for your gut — for a strong microbiome, optimal digestion, and long-term gut health.

Enzymes – for optimal digestion and nutrient absorption

Even the best diet won’t help if your body can’t absorb the nutrients. Digestive enzymes break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates into their building blocks so your body can use them. When enzyme production is insufficient (e.g., due to stress, age, or chronic conditions), bloating, fullness, and nutrient deficiencies can follow.

SerraZYM plus, NattoZYM plus, and SpikaZYM plus combine natural enzymes like serrapeptase, nattokinase, and bromelain with synergistic plant compounds — offering comprehensive support for digestion, better nutrient absorption, and fewer digestive issues.

Amino acids – building blocks for a strong gut lining

Your gut lining is the barrier between your digestive tract and bloodstream — it decides what enters your body and what stays out. A weakened gut barrier (“leaky gut”) allows undigested food particles, bacteria, and toxins into the bloodstream — triggering chronic inflammation, food intolerances, and autoimmune reactions.

Amino acids such as glutamine are essential building blocks for regenerating your gut lining. MyAMINO delivers all 8 essential amino acids in an optimal ratio — highly bioavailable, low metabolic load, almost calorie-free. For a strong gut barrier, fast regeneration, and healthy digestion.

Omega-3 – anti-inflammatory support for gut and immune system

Chronic gut inflammation — whether IBS, colitis, or Crohn’s disease — puts massive strain on your body. Omega-3 fatty acids like EPA are strongly anti-inflammatory, calm your immune system, and support the regeneration of your gut lining. Studies show that EPA can lower inflammation markers and ease symptoms of chronic gut conditions.

AlgaeDHA gives you EPA and DHA from pure algae — avoiding fish oil, free from heavy metals, 100% vegan. For a calmer gut, fewer inflammatory processes, and better regeneration.

Fiber – food for your microbiome

Fiber consists of indigestible plant compounds that “feed” your microbiome and help it produce short-chain fatty acids (like butyrate) — the most important energy source for your gut cells. Fiber regulates digestion, binds toxins, stabilizes blood sugar, and supports a healthy microbiome.

Integrate high-fiber foods into your diet: vegetables, psyllium husk, flaxseed, chia seeds, fermented foods. Combined with pre- and probiotics, you’ll support your microbiome in the best possible way.

Gut–brain axis – why your gut influences your mood

Through the vagus nerve and chemical messengers, your gut constantly communicates with your brain. Over 90% of your serotonin (your “happiness hormone”) is produced in the gut — by your gut bacteria! A disrupted microbiome can contribute to anxiety, depression, concentration issues, and sleep disturbances. Conversely, a healthy gut promotes good mood, mental clarity, and inner balance.

Support your gut–brain axis with probiotics, omega-3, fiber, and amino acids — for a healthy gut and a healthy mind.

How to build a healthy microbiome

A healthy microbiome doesn’t develop overnight — it needs continuous care. Start with a fiber-rich diet, reduce sugar and processed foods, add fermented foods (yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchi), and support your gut with targeted pre- and probiotics. Avoid unnecessary antibiotics, reduce stress, and get enough sleep — all of this shapes your microbiome.

Give your gut time: 4–12 weeks to regenerate and find a new balance. During this phase, it needs targeted support — with enzymes, amino acids, omega-3, and of course pre- and probiotics.
