Our gut health supplement has a blend of three specially selected ingredients that are shown through clinical research to support sensitive guts:

●      Green Tea Extract

●      Curcumin (CurcuWIN®)

●      Vitamin D₃

Healthy Gut is the only gut health supplement based on the latest evidence in gut research.

Healthy Gut’s ingredients have been shown in multiple clinical trials to support immunity*, reduce inflammation and maintain healthy gut flora (microbiome)**.  AltruVita’s innovative gut health supplement supports the calming of the digestive tract, to help improve unpleasant gut symptoms. 

At AltruVita we only use bulking agents or excipients where absolutely necessary,  filled in vegetarian capsules, and aim to use the most appropriate dosages, based on the relevant research.

Healthy Gut can be taken alongside our probiotic formula, Probiotic Complex+ for additional gut support. It is approved by the Vegetarian Society and is suitable for people following a vegetarian diet.

The combination of the ingredients makes Healthy Gut so effective:

Vitamin D₃
Vitamin D is the sunshine vitamin, made by the body through the action of sunlight on the skin. It can also be sourced through diet in small amounts. Vitamin D has a role in cell division*** and supports normal function of the immune system*** The Vitamin D₃ we use is naturally sourced. Everyone is advised to take a vitamin D-containing supplement during autumn and winter if they spend these seasons in the UK. People at high risk of vitamin D deficiency are advised to take a supplement all year round.

Green Tea
Green tea is enjoyed by many for its high levels of polyphenols which act as antioxidants.  These highly active green tea polyphenols are readily absorbed by the gut. Our specially sourced green tea extract contains 98% polyphenols and plays an important role in maintaining healthy gut flora*, thus helping support good digestive function*. To get these wonderful benefits without stimulating the gut too much we use Camelia sinensis leaf which contains only 0.1-0.5% caffeine.

Curcumin
Curcumin is the term used for a group of antioxidant* polyphenols called curcuminoids. Curcumin is found in turmeric and contributes to digestive comfort*. We use CurcuWIN® a form of curcumin that is 46 times more absorbable than standard curcumin**. The therapeutic benefits of the turmeric spice have been recognised for centuries in traditional Indian and Chinese medicines.
