Gut health was once a topic no one really considered. But since more and more consumers started to think about their health and what they were putting into their bodies, gut health has become a go to word in the health sector.
The term refers to keeping your digestive tract healthy. A healthy body can usually regulate the amount of good bacteria in the gut, but things like diet and stress can affect it. With the increase in diagnosed digestive disorders such as Crohn’s disease, celiac disease and IBS, consumers are keen to consume foods and drinks that benefit their digestive system and keep them healthy.
Due to this, brands are catching onto the trend and are launching convenient foods, drinks and supplements which claim to support gut health. Two of these brands are UK based Functional Food Company and Symprove. Both companies have launched innovative products that claim to support the digestive system. We spoke with Alessandra Bester of Functional Food Company and Barry Smith of Symprove to find out more.
