FAQs
Some of our customers’ most important questions answered here.
Can I take The Better Gut throughout perimenopause and menopause?
Can I take The Better Gut throughout perimenopause and menopause?
Yes, maintaining gut health during perimenopause and menopause is scientifically supported and highly beneficial. Oestrogen is a systemic hormone that influences nearly every cell in the body. It plays a critical role in maintaining bone density, cardiovascular function, cognitive health, skin integrity, and musculoskeletal strength. It also modulates immune responses, inflammation, and has a direct impact on the composition and function of the gut microbiome.
As oestrogen levels fluctuate and eventually decline post-menopause, these systems can become more vulnerable. Supporting the gut with a targeted supplement like The Better Gut may help maintain microbial balance, reduce inflammation, and promote overall physiological resilience. Additionally, it may continue to support bone health and provide numerous other benefits even after oestrogen has been depleted completely.

What is the significance of 50-billion CFU?
What is the significance of 50-billion CFU?
CFU stands for colony-forming unit—the standard way of measuring the quantity of live strains in probiotic supplements. It refers to the number of live, active microorganisms present in one The Better Gut capsule. We pride ourselves on our optimal dosage— 50 billion CFU—, enough to have an impact but not so many to overwhelm the delicate balance of the gut microbiome.
Is it safe to take post cancer treatment?
Is it safe to take post cancer treatment?
Better Gut has no known contraindications for use following breast or ovarian cancer treatment, but you should always check with your doctor first. It is safe to take alongside aromatase inhibitors.
Use is not advised in individuals with severe immunocompromised conditions, those at risk of opportunistic infections, and or those with badly damaged GI tracts.
