664. Top 5 Supplements for Digestion, Bloating and Gut Health


Listen Later

Heartburn? Bloating? Uncontrollable gas?

Your gut is asking (YELLING) for help!

Gut health and hormone health are integrated and if you are dealing with digestive upset, it's time to add some of the following supplements into your routine:

1. GI Integrity

My absolute favorite supplement for gut health is GI Integrity. It's packed with a blend of ingredients designed to support a healthy gastrointestinal tract. Whether you're recovering from a flare-up, experiencing bloating, or dealing with food sensitivities, this is a go-to for gut repair.

2. Apple Cider Vinegar

Found at nearly any grocery store, Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) is a simple, natural aid for digestion. Taken before meals, ACV can help increase stomach acidity, improving the breakdown of food and reducing bloating. It's a great way to give your digestion a little boost, especially after a heavy meal.

3. Activated Charcoal

For those moments when you're dealing with excess gas or bloating, Activated Charcoal can be a lifesaver. It's been used for centuries to absorb excess gas and toxins from the digestive tract, providing relief from discomfort. However, be cautious not to take it with other supplements or medications as it can absorb those as well. A great way to use it? Take it at night, just before bed, and let it work its magic overnight.

4. Probiotics: The Good Bacteria

A solid probiotic is essential for maintaining a balanced gut microbiome. A probiotic supplement adds beneficial bacteria to your system, helping with digestion, immunity, and even mood. While capsule forms are common, powder forms can be absorbed even more quickly. A good probiotic can help regulate bowel movements, reduce bloating, and improve overall digestive function.

5. Digestive Enzymes: Supporting Digestion

Sometimes, the body needs a little help breaking down food, especially after heavy or complex meals. Digestive Enzymes can fill in the gaps by aiding the breakdown of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, reducing bloating and indigestion. They're great to take right before a meal to support your digestive system.

How to Use These Supplements Effectively

Here are some quick tips for using these supplements:

  • GI Integrity: Take as needed to repair the gut lining, especially after digestive flare-ups.

  • Apple Cider Vinegar: Take before meals to help with food digestion.

  • Activated Charcoal: Use at night when bloating is an issue, ensuring there's no overlap with other supplements.

  • Probiotics: Use daily to maintain a healthy gut flora.

  • Digestive Enzymes: Take with meals to enhance digestion, particularly with complex or fatty foods.
