How it works
As a prebiotic, baobab fibre ferments in the colon, stimulating the growth of beneficial gut bacteria like Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli. This fermentation process produces short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which nourish colonocytes and improve gut barrier function.
Who should take it
Adults looking to address bloating, indigestion, irregular bowel movements. Particularly relevant for people who prefer a targeted single ingredient and who have ruled out an underlying condition that needs medical care first.
Avoid / careful
Pregnant or nursing women without clinician oversight. People on prescription medication affecting the same pathway should consult a doctor before combining. Side effects are uncommon at recommended doses but mild GI upset can occur when starting.
