Over the last few years, interest in gut health has been on the rise. Informed consumers want to know the best ways to support their gut health, and Nature Made® is here to help. Our science-backed gut health supplements are specially formulated to aid digestion in many ways.
There's a lot to learn about supporting your gut, so we've put together a guide to help you make the right pick. Nature Made® is the #1 Pharmacist Recommended Vitamin & Supplement Brand*, and we source our gut health supplements from high-quality ingredients.
Our digestive system, or our "gut," is an incredibly complex part of our body with effects that can radiate into every part of our day. A digestive system that feels clogged up can be the worst part of an already bad day, but when your gut is healthy, it's much easier to get done what needs doing.
Much of modern gut health focuses on what's known as the "gut microbiome." This is a collection of millions of micro bacteria that live in your digestive system, a mix of "good bacteria" and "bad bacteria" that all contribute to the body's digestion. Keeping a balanced gut microbiome is essential to gut health, and there are all sorts of different supplements for gut health that can help you along the way.
Most gut health supplements can be fit into two categories: prebiotics and probiotics. Both of these categories have a lot to do with the gut microbiome! Check out this blog for a more in-depth breakdown of the difference between prebiotics and probiotics. In this article, we'll give you a more straightforward explanation of each.
Probiotics are, put simply, "good" gut bacteria. Our gut microbiome is incredibly complex and home to countless strains of bacteria that affect our digestion. Some of these bacteria help our digestion, and some harm it. Probiotics are the kind of bacteria that help us out, so we want more probiotic bacteria in our gut. That's why Nature Made offers probiotics, helping provide healthy bacteria for your gut microbiome. Probiotics are found in fermented foods like yogurt, miso, and pickles!
Prebiotics may sound similar to probiotics, but they're pretty different! The secret is in the "pre". Where probiotics are beneficial bacteria, prebiotic fiber is what those bacteria need in order to grow! Prebiotic fiber feeds the probiotic bacteria, helping grow the healthy bacteria in your gut. More than 90% of women and 97% of men do not meet the recommended daily intake for dietary fiber, which is 31 g/day for men and 25 g/day for women.[1] Dietary sources of soluble fiber include oatmeal, flax seeds, fruits like bananas and apples, and vegetables like broccoli and carrots.
When picking supplements for gut health, you'll want to pick ones with high-quality ingredients. Nature Made® probiotics are sourced only from high-quality ingredients and are made to our guaranteed purity and potency standards.
When taking a gut health supplement, please consult the specific supplement's instructions to ensure you are taking it as intended. The easiest way to incorporate supplements into your daily routine is by choosing a regular meal to take them alongside. Not only does this help ensure that you are taking supplements with food and water, as is recommended, but attaching it to a pre-existing element of your routine helps you remember to take them at the same time every day.
Always take the recommended doses of each particular supplement for maximum safety and effectiveness. We suggest consulting with your primary care provider before adding supplements to your daily routine. A medical professional can advise you on the best supplements and routine.
