Your gut does far more than digest food. It houses trillions of bacteria that interact with nearly every system in your body, including your hormones.

Scientists have identified a community of gut bacteria called the estrobolome, which helps determine how oestrogen is processed and recycled. When researchers first described it in 2011, it changed how we think about menopause: your hormone levels are not just set by your ovaries, they are also shaped by your gut.

And the influence flows both ways. As oestrogen fluctuates through perimenopause, the balance and diversity of your gut bacteria can shift too.

The ripple effects reach further than digestion. Your gut produces most of your body's serotonin and communicates constantly with the brain along the gut-brain axis, an area of intense research into mood and stress. Emerging studies are exploring how the microbiome interacts with bone metabolism after menopause, when declining oestrogen makes bone density more vulnerable. Researchers are even beginning to investigate whether gut bacteria play a role in how the body regulates temperature.

That is the thinking behind Better Gut: six bacterial strains with published research in women's health, delivered at 50 billion live CFU in one daily capsule. It can be taken alongside HRT, or on its own.

Simple to take, easy to fit into your routine

One capsule daily, with a glass of water, morning or evening. Whichever you choose, the secret is making it automatic.

Live cultures work through daily repetition, so the best routine is the one you never have to think about. Keep your blister pack on your bedside table and take your capsule last thing at night or first thing in the morning, before the day gets in the way. Next to the kettle or your toothbrush works just as well. Anchor it to something you already do every day.

No refrigeration needed. Each capsule is individually blister-sealed, so the live bacteria stay protected wherever you keep it.

We recommend taking Better Gut daily for at least 3 months before reviewing your results, giving your body time to adjust.
