Berberine has been found to help improve the balance of gut bacteria, which is essential for healthy digestion. It has also been shown to reduce inflammation in the gut, which can contribute to a range of digestive issues, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Additionally, berberine has been found to help regulate blood sugar levels, which can be important for individuals with diabetes who may experience digestive issues. *
Boswellia contains compounds called boswellic acids, which have anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation in the gut can contribute to digestive problems such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Boswellia has been found to help reduce inflammation in the gut and improve gut barrier function, which can help prevent the development or worsening of these conditions. Additionally, boswellia may also promote healthy gut bacteria.*
Gotu kola has been found to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which can help reduce inflammation in the digestive tract and protect against oxidative stress. Inflammation in the digestive tract can contribute to various digestive disorders, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Additionally, gotu kola has been shown to improve gut barrier function, which can help prevent the development or worsening of these conditions.*
Recent research suggests that mastic gum may have potential benefits for digestion. Mastic gum contains compounds with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce inflammation in the digestive tract and protect against harmful bacteria. Inflammation in the gut can contribute to various digestive disorders, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Additionally, mastic gum has been shown to help reduce symptoms of acid reflux and heartburn, and may also help protect against ulcers in the stomach and small intestine.*
studies have shown that urolithin can increase the abundance of beneficial bacteria in the gut, such as Akkermansia muciniphila, and decrease the abundance of harmful bacteria, such as Fusobacterium nucleatum. Urolithin has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects in the gut, which could help to alleviate inflammatory conditions in the gut.*
