Specialist products for the gut
Probiotics, enzymes and fibre have their own categories. Here, by contrast, you will find specialist substances and combinations people look for in connection with the gut. There are no authorised health claims for these substances in the EU. We show you what they are and how the products differ.
The main substances at a glance
- Sodium butyrate: the sodium salt of butyric acid, a short-chain fatty acid, for example Trec Nutrition Sodium Butyrate 500.
- Chios mastic gum: the resin of the mastic tree from the Greek island of Chios, such as Jarrow Formulas Mastic Gum.
- Peppermint oil: mostly in enteric-coated capsules, so the oil is released only in the intestine.
- Zinc carnosine: a compound of zinc and carnosine known as PepZin GI, found for example in NOW Foods Gastro Comfort.
- DGL: deglycyrrhizinated liquorice extract, meaning liquorice without glycyrrhizin, such as NOW Foods DGL with Aloe Vera.
- Aloe vera: as capsules, also combined with probiotics, for example NOW Foods Aloe 10,000 & Probiotics.
- Caprylic acid: a medium-chain fatty acid of the kind found in coconut oil.
Probiotics and combination products
This category also includes high-CFU probiotics and combination products such as Garden of Life Raw Probiotics Colon Care. With probiotics, it pays to compare the strains, the CFU per serving and the storage instructions. You will find a wider choice in the Probiotics category.
What to look out for
- Read the amount of the main substance per daily serving rather than just comparing capsule counts.
- Check the capsule type: enteric-coated shells are common for oils.
- Look for additives and allergens in the ingredient list.
Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied diet. If you take medicines or are pregnant, ask your doctor first.
