5 Ways to Support Great Gut Health

5 Ways to Support Great Gut Health

Researchers are starting to understand the vital role your microbiome plays in maintaining your overall health. Your microbiome is the unique ecology of your body, and it includes trillions of microorganisms. Without this population of microscopic helpers, humans wouldn’t be able to digest and use the food we eat—and that’s just one example. And where is the main place that these microorganisms are doing their jobs of mingling, absorbing vitamins, breaking down food, making enzymes, and much more? That would be in your digestive tract (large and small intestines), also known as your gut. In fact, the gut is such an important command center in the body that it’s sometimes called your “second brain.”

Your Microbiome is Majorly Important

The activity in your gut and your whole microbiome can make a difference in how you feel. For example, about 70% of the body’s immune cells are in the gut—which is helpful since new material is passing through your digestive system every day. The gut also communicates directly with your brain, which is called the “gut-brain axis.” This connection can affect stress, mood, cognitive function, feelings of hunger or craving, and more.

Every microbiome is a little different, like a personal fingerprint. Your unique microbiome is first determined by your DNA, and then it changes based on the microorganisms you encounter during birth and infancy. Your microbiome can keep shifting throughout your life! There are even tests available to analyze the composition of your microbiome and the unique bacteria, fungi, and viruses that make you YOU.

New Chapter is here with the right supplements to help support your healthy, balanced microbiome. We were founded in 1982 by health-food store owners who wanted more options for good gut health. Today, we’ve got an impressive family of supplements infused with nature’s wisdom specifically for your microbiome and digestive balance. Pick the perfect science-backed formula for your unique needs, and feel your best today, tomorrow, and every day!

1. Support Digestive Health with Probiotics

Probiotics are microorganisms that deliver a health benefit. You can consume probiotics in supplement form or in certain foods (like yogurt or probiotic beverages—check labels for probiotic information). New Chapter has been formulating probiotics for digestive health for over 40 years! We prioritize using science-backed strains that have been through rigorous quality control and testing, including DNA-testing to confirm identity. It’s all part of delivering highly concentrated, potent probiotics in an effective amount that works—no megabillions needed.

For complete gut health, All-Flora Probiotic is masterfully crafted for everyday benefits, providing advanced digestion, microbiome, and gut health support.* It’s a clinical-strength triple probiotic blend that’s perfect for those seeking a healthy, happy gut and GI tract.* Delivers 10 billion CFU (colony forming units) of probiotics + postbiotics & prebiotic fiber in one vegan capsule per day.

For 100% delicious digestive support, All-Flora Probiotic + Prebiotic Gummies support a healthy digestive system, with 3 g prebiotic fiber from Chicory Root to fuel your natural good bacteria every day.* Delivers 2 billion CFU of probiotics in 2 vegan gummies per day.

2. Probiotics for Menopause & Hormonal Balance

Women experience multiple transitions during their lives, from hormonal ups and downs during menstruation, to decline in estrogen and progesterone that results in menopause. These changes can impact both digestion and the vaginal microbiome. A dedicated probiotic supplement can be helpful from peri- to post-menopause, particularly one with Lactobacillus acidophilus La-14® and Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001™ probiotics. These strains have been clinically studied to travel through the gut and promote a healthy vaginal environment—including a healthy balance of vaginal bacteria and yeast.* New Chapter probiotics for women deliver these exact strains to support your comfort and quality of life when you need it!

For those experiencing monthly feminine symptoms, Women’s Daily Probiotic delivers clinically studied Lactobacilli probiotics for vaginal & digestive health, PLUS Chaste Tree that helps relieve monthly breast tenderness, mood, and bloating.* Delivers 10 billion CFU probiotics & prebiotic fiber in 1 vegan capsule per day.

For powering through peri- and post-menopause, All-Flora Probiotic Menopause Balance delivers clinically studied Lactobacilli probiotics for vaginal microbiome support & digestive health.* We also include nature’s finest Black Cohosh for tackling hot flashes and night sweats, to help keep you cool all menopause long.* Delivers 10 billion CFU probiotics & prebiotic fiber in 1 vegan capsule per day.

3. Relieve Occasional Indigestion with Digestive Enzymes

Taking good quality digestive enzymes can be a game-changer for a well-functioning digestive system and feeling your best overall. Your own natural digestive enzymes are responsible for aiding digestion of five common foods: proteins, fats, carbohydrates, dairy, and fiber. But sometimes your system can use some help. The clinically studied 5-enzyme supergroup of amylase, protease, cellulase, lactase, and lipase works to support better digestion over time.*

For daily enzymes & help with gas & bloating, All-Flora Probiotic Enzyme Complex relieves occasional indigestion with clinical-strength digestive enzymes and includes probiotics that help relieve gas, bloating, and GI distress.* In addition, fermented Vitamin B12 helps with proper food breakdown.* Delivers 5 billion CFU probiotics, prebiotic fiber & 100% Daily Value of B12 in 3 vegan capsules per day (perfect for mealtimes).

For enzymes plus organic veggies & fruits, All-Flora Digestive Super Greens Powder supports improved digestion & gut health with clinical-strength digestive enzymes plus a whole host of fermented grasses, greens like kale and spinach, chlorella, spirulina, herbs, and fruit.* Easy to mix into your favorite smoothie or daily drink.

4. Fiber Supplements for Gut Balance

Fiber is a crucial carbohydrate that we get from food. It’s not digested and absorbed into the bloodstream like most of the nutrients we consume. Instead, fiber provides the bulk needed to form stool with a healthy, comfortable consistency, which helps with smooth, regular bowel movements. Fiber also feeds the natural good bacteria already living in your gut—this is sometimes called “prebiotic” fiber. It’s recommended that adults get 28+ grams of fiber per day. But despite its importance, only about 7% of Americans get enough fiber in their diets! This is largely because we don’t eat enough plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Fortunately, great quality fiber supplements can help you get the benefits of fiber for a healthy gut and microbiome.

For 100% delicious daily fiber, New Chapter’s Organic Fiber Gummies keep your routine going smoothly with up to 8 grams certified organic prebiotic fiber in 2-4 convenient gummies per day. These gummies support digestive health & fuel your natural good bacteria, all with NO added sugar.*

5. Probiotics for Immune & Stress Support

Remember how your gut is the seat of your body’s immune response, and also packed with nerve endings that communicate directly with your brain? Turns out that certain science-backed probiotic strains can work in the gut to help maintain healthy immune function or to support your body’s natural stress response.*

To upgrade your immune support routine, All-Flora Dual Immunity Probiotic is the perfect duo of clinical-strength probiotics and fermented postbiotics to boost the body’s core immune response (since 70% of your immune system is in the digestive tract).* Delivers 1 billion CFU probiotics in 1 vegan capsule per day.

To soothe the effects of occasional stress, All-Flora De-Stress Probiotic delivers 2-in-1 gut-brain support with potent probiotics for digestive comfort plus clinical-strength Ashwagandha to relieve mental and physical stress.* Delivers 1 billion CFU probiotics in 1 vegan capsule per day.
