Give Your Gut A Helping Hand With Gut Health Gummies

Gut health has become a hot topic these past few years, and for good reason. Your digestive system is responsible for digesting food and absorbing all those important nutrients to help your body function. 

While there are a range of lifestyle changes you can make to support good gut health, incorporating Swisse Ultiboost Probiotic + Prebiotic gummies is another way to support your dietary probiotic intake. So, what impact do probiotics and prebiotics have on gut health you ask? We break it down for you below. 

The run-down on probiotic and prebiotic gummies

Chances are you’ve heard of probiotics, but you actually need a combination of prebiotics and probiotics¹. While prebiotics and probiotics both work harmoniously, they each play their own unique role:

• Prebiotics are types of fibre that feed the beneficial bacteria in your gut, helping them to grow and thrive¹. Examples include inulin, fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and resistant starch, which are found in foods like garlic, onions, bananas, wholegrains and chicory root^1,2.
• Probiotics are live beneficial bacteria that you consume to increase the number of good microbes in your gut³. These microorganisms are found in fermented foods like yoghurt, kefir, kimchi, sauerkraut and probiotic supplements⁴.

What are Swisse Ultiboost Probiotic + Prebiotic gummies good for?

If you’ve ever considered taking a probiotic, you might have wondered what probiotic gummies do for your body. Probiotics play a key role in promoting a healthy gut microbiome, which can impact various aspects of your health. 

Probiotics help to increase the number of healthy bacteria in the gut. Besides Swisse’s Probiotic + Prebiotic Gummies, our Swisse Ultiboost Bloat Relief Smart Melt contains bacillus coagulans. Plus, these gummies have delicious orange flavour, vegan friendly, no added sugar and have fridge free storage.

While probiotics are available in different formats, gummy probiotics offer a tasty and convenient way to support your dietary probiotics intake without the hassle of swallowing pills.

What are prebiotic gummies good for?

In combination with probiotics, prebiotics in gummies feeds the good bacteria in your gut. While prebiotics are naturally found in several foods like bananas, garlic and wholegrains¹, many people don’t consume enough of them. 

Understanding gummies for gut health 

Now that you understand the basics of how prebiotic and probiotic gut health gummies work, let’s take a deeper dive into how they support your gut health.

Are prebiotic and probiotic gummies good for you?

Prebiotics and probiotics can support dietary probiotics daily intake. As you now know, your gut is more than just a digestive organ. In fact, a healthy gut provides support for other vital functions and systems in your body, influencing your metabolism and energy levels^3,4.

By incorporating both prebiotics and probiotics into your diet, you’re able to create an optimal environment for gut health, which in turn supports your health¹. It’s not always easy to get the right balance of prebiotics and probiotics from diet alone, so incorporating a Swisse Probiotics + Prebiotics gummy could be an option.

What are the benefits of gut gummies? 

Swisse’s Probiotic + Prebiotic Gummies benefits your health and wellbeing in several ways. Packed with 3 billion CFU of probiotics per daily serving, these gummies have been specially formulated to support. Plus, with natural prebiotic fibre from chicory root, these gummies will also feed the good bacteria in your gut. Available in a delicious orange flavour, these gummies contain no added sugar, making them a tasty alternative to traditional prebiotic and probiotic supplements. 

How do probiotic gummies work?

Swisse’s Probiotic + Prebiotic Gummies contain a combination of high-quality, gut-loving ingredients. The addition of 3 billion CFU of probiotics per daily serve plays a key role in maintaining daily intake of beneficial bacteria^5,6. 

Good gut health is closely linked to your overall health and wellbeing. While eating a healthy, balanced diet plays a key role in maintaining overall gut health, a prebiotic and probiotic gummy can provide support.
