Gut health expert creates new capsule that stops ‘worrying about the toilet’

Shoppers can grab the Gut Wealth 12-week programme for £99 from the website

Those who suffer from gut problems and digestive distress – of which there are over 6.5 million people in the UK – will know the discomfort, worry and stress it can cause. However, there is a product that IBS sufferers are calling ‘life changing’, saying it allows them ‘finally trust’ their gut again.

There are many tips and tricks out there that purport to help, but taking the time to try them all can leave people feeling more exhausted and helpless than ever if they don’t work. Now, however, there may be a solution with the brand Gut Wealth and their 12-week programme, which is now £99 down from £120 with free UK postage – working out at less than £1.20 a day.

The Gut Wealth capsules were created by gut health expert Gemma Stuart after she spent several years experiencing digestive discomfort first hand. Stuart then collaborated with scientists to develop a formula that works for the gut.

Each capsule is formulated from 12 ingredients to support gut immunity, improve regularity and reduce bloating easily. In there are B Vitamins such as B1 Thiamine which supports normal energy metabolism, B3 Niacin which helps maintain normal mucous membranes which is relevant for gut lining + Vitamin D3 Vita Algae which supports the normal function of the gut barrier and Inulin (from chicory root) which is a source of prebiotic fibre shown to feed beneficial gut bacteria, among several others.

After using the products from Gut Wealth, which is the winner of MedTech & HealthTech of the Year 2024, one study showed 82% of IBS sufferers experienced less bloating and 81% saw improvements in stool consistency. When using the capsules, it is advised that one is taken per day with water for 12 weeks, as according to the British Society of Gastroenterology, biotic-based supplements should be taken consistently for this length of time to allow the gut microbiome and lining time to respond properly.

If this isn’t the brand for everyone, there are other products for gut health to choose from such as Boots Good Gut Live Friendly Bacteria Max Strength – 14 Capsules for £17.85 which are designed to give a helping hand to create a healthy gut environment and are suitable for adults and children aged 12 years and over. Another is Myvitamins Gut Health Capsules from Lookfantastic for £18.99 giving shoppers 90 capsules and featuring a tri-biotic formula that helps to support gut health.

With over 700 reviews, shoppers have shared their experiences with Gut Wealth online. One person said: “I started to feel better within 4 weeks. I’ve had IBS for about 6 years on and off. Since trying the capsules, I can safely leave the house with no concerns.”

Another wrote: “I’ve been on a trial with these capsules. I didn’t expect them to help but they really have. Less noises from my digestion, but also feel more relaxed.”

“I was sceptical, but these have changed everything. I’ve had less bloating, more energy, and no ‘uh oh’ moments,” said another.

Some others disagreed and shared opposing views, as one said: “Helped with bowel issues but I just don’t like the taste.”

Another added: “I can finally go about my day without worrying where the nearest toilet is. Life-changing.”

The 12 week programme is available from Gut Wealth.
