Best supplements for gut health and digestion
Feed the microbiome — fiber first, then strains.
Most people skip to probiotics. The bigger lever is fiber — prebiotic fiber is what your good bacteria actually eat.
Start with psyllium. Add a multi-strain probiotic if you've been on recent antibiotics or have chronic issues.

Common questions
Probiotic or prebiotic first?
Prebiotic (fiber). It feeds what's already there — often more effective than dropping in new strains.
Do I need a fancy probiotic?
Usually no. A well-known multi-strain formula at 10+ billion CFU is plenty for most people.
