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.

Before you buy

  • Start fiber low and ramp — too much too fast causes bloating.
  • A diverse diet (30+ plants/week) outperforms any probiotic for microbiome diversity.

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.
