How to boost your gut health with the Right supplements

It’s no secret that gut health is now THE focal point for those seeking overall well-being, however with so many supplements available on the market, how do you know which ones are the right ones for YOU to take?

We say, keep it simple!

At Ferrocalm, we fully understand the critical importance of a balanced gut, and that’s why we're dedicated to helping you achieve and maintain it.

In this blog, we delve into how incorporating the correct supplements into your routine can help enhance your digestive efficiency and overall wellbeing.

Gut Health Explained

The gut microbiome consists of trillions of bacteria that reside in the digestive tract. A healthy balance of these microorganisms means proper digestion, nutrient absorption, and protection against harmful pathogens. An imbalance, often caused by poor diet, stress, or antibiotic use can lead to digestive issues, weakened immunity, and other health problems, this is when it’s time to step in with the right healing supplements.

What are the Key Supplements for Gut Health?

Probiotics

Essentially, probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that have a beneficial effect on your body, they can help restore the natural balance of the gut microbiome.

Probiotics are commonly found in fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, and sauerkraut, but can also be taken as a supplement.

Prebiotics

Prebiotics play an important role in maintaining gut health, they serve as healthy food for gut microflora and work in tandem with probiotics to nurture a healthy gut.

Foods rich in prebiotics include garlic, onions, bananas, and asparagus and like probiotics, they can also be taken as a supplement.

Digestive Enzymes

Digestive enzymes are proteins that help break down food into nutrients that the body can absorb. These enzymes can be particularly beneficial for individuals with enzyme deficiencies or those experiencing digestive discomfort after meals.

Foods rich in digestive enzymes include pineapple, papaya, honey, avocado, kiwi fruit & ginger, these can also be taken as a supplement.

 

Fibre Supplements

Dietary fibre is essential for healthy digestion and regular bowel movements. Whist a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains is the best source of fibre, supplements can help to meet your daily fibre needs.

Tip: Gradually increase fibre intake to avoid bloating and gas, and drink plenty of water to aid in fibre digestion.

How can Ferrocalm Support Your Gut Health Journey?

At Ferrocalm, we are dedicated to promoting holistic well-being through our carefully curated supplement. Ferrocalm is designed to support not just specific health concerns, but also your overall wellness journey, we are proud to have a proven record of calming gut conditions and supporting digestive health.

Ferrocalm is specially formulated to be gentle on the stomach, minimising the risk of constipation and nausea commonly associated with iron intake. Iron acts as a critical nutrient for the growth and survival of most bacteria. But during periods of stress, an immune response or flare ups of IBS or IBD, the neurotransmitter adrenaline can cause the release of excess iron from proteins into the gut. By ensuring your iron levels are optimal without compromising gut health, Ferrocalm helps you feel your best from the inside out.

Prevention is better than cure

By incorporating the right probiotics, prebiotics, digestive enzymes and fibres into your diet, you can support a balanced and thriving gut microbiome avoiding imbalances and poor gut health. Our easy to take supplement demonstrates just how we are committed to providing a supplement that not only targets specific health needs but also contributes to your overall health.
