Does all health originate in our gut?Our gut is a key adaptivesystemthat mediates many functions and is thus central to health and disease. But poor gut health, combined with the challenges ofthe modernlife and our complex environment, can often leave us feeling uncomfortable, sluggish, and sensitive to foods.
If you find you are struggling with your gut health, you could be experiencing a range of symptomsfrombloating,irregular bowel movements tofood sensitivities.Gutfunction is complex and dependent on inter-related factors:balance of bacteria,digestion,gut integrity, andmotility. We need all of these to work in harmony with each other for optimum gut health.
BioCare’sgut category range has been designed to support alltheseareas of gut health.
DIGESTION
Do you find itdifficult to digest foods, perhaps resulting inbloating,burpingorflatulence? Do some foods sometimes not agree with you?
You might need support for your digestion.Our bodies have a complex and powerful system of enzymes in our gut to help us break down foods into smaller particles and use them.
SUPPLEMENT SOLUTIONSFOR DIGESTION:
Polyzyme Forte
- Enzymes are powerful molecules to help break down foods into smaller particles, including proteases for protein, lipase for fats, lactase for lactose in dairy products, and amylase for carbohydrates
- Provides eight different digestive enzymes with distinct roles: bromelain, lipase, protease, amylase, cellulose, lactase, maltase and sucrase
- Designed to retain breakdown capability over a wide range of pH variances, all the enzymes are acid stable against stomach pH
- Vegetarian source, acid stable enzymes which are used to assist the body’s own natural process
- For everyday use, 1 capsule can be taken with every main meal
Bio Acidophilusis a blend of the unique,clinically researchedLAB4complex of live bacteria for everyday use
- Contains 20 billion per daily intake of the clinically researched LAB4strains.The LAB4complex is one of the mostclinically researchedcombinations of live bacteria, consisting of two specific proprietary strains ofLactobacillus acidophilus, along withBifidobacterium bifidum andBifidobacterium lactis
- Human compatible strains that are bile and acid resistant and adhere to the gut wall
- Also contains FOS (Fructooligosaccharides) which help to maintain a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria, includingBifidobacteria, promoting healthy gut function

is a combination of betaine hydrochloride (HCl) and the protein-digesting pepsin enzyme
- Hydrochloric acid is naturally found in the stomach and is essential for creating an acidic environment to enable protein digestion and activation of pepsin
- Also provides a high amount of pepsin which is a potent protease enzyme naturally produced in the human body, essential for breaking down protein in foodinto smallerpeptide fragments and amino acids
- An acidic stomach environment is crucial for digestion, absorption of nutrients, immune protection, and enzyme activity. Different dietary and lifestyle factors including stress, as well as age, can reduce the body’s production of stomach acid
- Capsule form allows convenience and splitting dose throughout the day ensures maximum efficacy
BALANCE OF GUT BACTERIA
Do you have gut issues that started after atrip abroad, an upset stomach, or takingantibiotics? Are yoursymptoms worse after eating, especially foods high in sugar, carbohydrates, or yeast (bread, beer, wine), orfibre(vegetables or wholegrains)? Have you been told by a practitioner or done a test which indicated animbalance of gut bacteria?
SUPPLEMENT SOLUTIONSFORBALANCE OF BACTERIA:
MicroClear
A potent botanical complex with oregano, thyme,olive leaf, barberry & wormwood for gut health and balance of bacteria.
- Oregano, thyme, barberry, clove and olive leaf promote a healthy function of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as providing antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory support
- Thyme, oregano, olive leaf, and barberry also aid immunity, and the health of the urinary & respiratory tracts, providing comprehensive systemic support
- The plant oils have been freeze-dried to reduce irritation to the gut and promote absorption for systemic use
- Easy to swallow capsules allowing convenience and splitting dose throughout the day ensures maximum efficacy
Bio acidophilusForte
Contains30 billion of theclinically researchedLAB4live bacteria alongside FOS (Fructooligosaccharides) which help to maintain a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria, promoting healthy gut function.Use alongsideMicroClear2-4 hours away,for comprehensive,longer-termsupport,whereasMicroClearalone would befor up to 3 months.
GUT INTEGRITY
Do you react to certain foods likethose containingdairy and gluten,perhaps withpainanddiscomfort?
You might need support for the integrity of your gut ‘mucous membranes’ (gut wall).Our gut lining is made up of multiple protective layers which guard us from toxins and pathogens. It is made up of thin mucosal tissue which is vital for nutrient absorption and colonisation of friendly bacteria.
SUPPLEMENT SOLUTIONS FOR GUT INTEGRITY:
GI Complex
– Gut support complex containing vitamin A, zinc, and ginger to support the mucous membranes, the intestinal tract, and inflammation, with L-glutamine, nucleotides, and live bacteria.
- A unique combination of L-glutamine, N-acetyl glucosamine, nucleotides, alpha lipoic acid, ginger, live bacteria includingLactobacillussalivarius, vitamins A, C, and zinc
- Vitamin A supports the gut wall (the mucous membranes of the digestive tract) and the function of the immune system, and vitamin C and zinc contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Vitamin C also supports collagen formation
- Ginger helps to support digestion, contributing to the normal function of intestinal tract and may also help to manage inflammatory responses
- Nucleotides are the building blocks of our DNA, especially needed for the fast-replicating cells of the digestive tract. Our needs for nucleotides increase during periods of stress, illness, or injury
- Easily mixed into liquids. An alternative to tablets or capsules or for those with digestive and absorption difficulties
Prefer a capsule?
Permatrol
Aunique and powerful nutrient complex combining a blend of L-glutamine, N-acetyl glucosamine, and live bacteria.
- Per daily intake,Permatrol provides 750mg of L-glutamine and 450mg of glucosamine, as well as 66iu of vitamin E, 120mg of gamma oryzanol and 1 billion live bacteria
- VitaminE is a potent antioxidant that contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress
GUT MOTILITY
Do you have issues withirregular bowel movements?Do you sometimes feel theurgency to ‘go to the toilet’, or perhapspass a bowel movement less often than once a day?
You might need to support your ‘gut motility’.The movement of food and fluid through the digestive tract is essential to digestion, absorption, and excretion. Disrupted motility and consequent slowing down or speeding up of this process can contribute toa number ofuncomfortable symptoms and will also have wider implications such as nutrient malabsorption and impaired detoxification.
SUPPLEMENT SOLUTIONS FOR GUT MOTILITY:
PrebioNutriPowder – A unique blend of plant fibre including marshmallow, inulin, FOS, GOS, arabinogalactans, and resistant starch for digestion and regular bowel movements
- Fructooligosaccharideshelp to maintain a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria, includingBifidobacteria, promoting healthy gut function

STOMACH FUNCTION
Do you need to soothe your digestive system, especially yourstomach and throat?
The digestive tract provides a protective barrier that protects us from the outside world, but alsofromthe powerful enzymes and acids that we produce during digestion. Sometimes,we may havean imbalance of enzymes or acid, they may be produced at the wrong times, or our mucus membranes may need support.
