Tropical Gut Health Shots

BAOBAB & ACACIA FIBRE

Sometimes referred to as the ‘Tree of Life’, Baobab is an iconic tree found on the plains of Africa that can live for up to 3,000 years. Its unique and amazing fruit is rich in vitamins and minerals, and contains a high amount of both soluble and insoluble dietary fibre. Taste-wise, this one’s next level: we call it nature’s lemon sherbet.

Acacia fibre is a form of dietary fibre which is fully fermented and suitable for individuals with sensitive stomachs. Combined with baobab, they create a significant prebiotic effect. 

JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE

A species of sunflower native to central North America, Jerusalem artichoke is high in inulin and fructo-oligosaccharides, which are soluble prebiotic fibres that support digestive health. The gut-healing, digestive benefits of Jerusalem artichokes help to balance your microbiome and promote the daily operations of your body. 

CHICORY ROOT

Chicory Root is considered the richest plant source of inulin, which has been proven to be a high scorer when it comes to healthy digestive function. Through its ability to battle harsh stomach enzymes, it reaches the gut safely where it undergoes prebiotic fermentation. Here, it contributes to building a more diverse microbiome, supporting a healthy and balanced digestive system, with research suggesting it may also support immunity.

GREEN BANANA

Green Bananas are an excellent source of fibre, potassium and zinc. They contain much more resistant starch than yellow bananas, which avoids being digested as it passes through the gut. Instead, as it ferments, it acts as a prebiotic to power up the good bacteria buzzing around in there, helping them reproduce and go full multiplayer mode.
