"I have had digestive issues for as long as I can remember - my gut finally feels like it is healing! The cocoa latte also tastes delicious in my morning coffee. I will be buying again!"
-N.B
I’ve been using Fertile Gut’s Microbiome Essentials for a while now, and I can’t express how much I love this product! As someone focused on supporting my fertility, finding a supplement that aligns with my health goals has been crucial. This powder seamlessly blends into my daily smoothies without altering the taste, making it an effortless addition to my routine.()
For anyone on a fertility journey or simply looking to enhance their gut health, I highly recommend giving Microbiome Essentials a try. It’s become a staple in my wellness routine, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.
This product is a lifesaver. At first I received comments on my hair, skin and then overall appearance. More than that, I had been using myo inositol for pcos but found I needed to buy numerous ingredients to make a drink that does everything for me. With this drink, everything is in one easy to use sachet and I am hooked. Thank you for making this much needed product for women!
Very yummy hot choccie- it’s my favourite. Not sickly sweet.
The micro biome powder is easy to mix into foods and doesn’t have an overpowering flavour.
Feeling less bloated and have better and more frequent bowel movements. Have also noticed an improvement in my skin. I’d love other flavour options overall great product - highly recommend.
I haven't found a gut support supplement that works as well as this one, and tbh I'm scared to not use it. That said, it's really expensive and never goes on sale, the rewards system is clunky and isn't great value even for regular customers.
I've been taking both Microbiome Essentials and Cacao Latte. I believe that the microbiome Essentials are lessening my diarrhoea as the diarrhoea is not as frequent. The Cacao Latte helps me sleep and increases my motivation.
I have suffered from reflux and IBS symptoms for a few years now which have got worse during peri-menopause. I've been taking the gut + hormone supplement for 3 months now and have definitely noticed a difference in my gut health, plus my moods are much improved. Plus it tastes good!
Love my daily latte with tofu.
I have added Gut + Hormone to my daily routine for 3 months now and have noticed a significant improvement in not only my gut health but also my period health (a regular cycle, less pain and less bloating) and it tastes amazing!
It’s been 2 weeks and can feel a noticeable difference in my wellbeing and energy.
Without my daily duo shake I notice the difference in my bowel movements. These are amazing.
Such a wonderful tasting cacao latte and feels better knowing it will help my body heal and support health and fertility. Highly recommended to everyone… i mix mine with almond milk! Love love love!
I round the day out with a hot chocolate. Knowing I'm looking after my guy with something that tastes so good, great peace of mind.
Loving this product! Been using this for about 12mths now. So versatile, I put it in my brekky, smoothies or baking.
Great tasting hot choccie. Lovely low sugar treat.
Repeat customer. Fast post. Thankyou 😊

Organic Brown Rice Powder
Nurtures your gut microbiome with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds, vitamins and amino acids
PHGG
Supports and enhances the growth of beneficial microbes for better hormone balance, reduced inflammation, digestive health, reproductive health, IBS support and reduced dysbiosis.
Clinically Proven Probiotic
Heat resistant LactoSpore® proven to reduce bloating, gastrointestinal issues, and abdominal pain and improve mood and bowel movements.
Want better sleep, more energy, less frequent colds and illness, improved mood, optimal reproductive health, a firing metabolism, hormone harmony and better digestion?
It starts in the gut!
Your gut microbiome is the diverse community of bacteria, viruses, and fungi living in your digestive tract.
Diversity in the microbiome is associated with better health, and reduced disease risk.
A disrupted microbiome promotes inflammation and is associated with health impacts including insulin resistance, mood & metabolic disruption, reproductive impacts and immune disturbance.
When your microbiome is balanced and thriving, it contributes positively to your overall health by strengthening your immune system, promoting better digestion, influencing mood, brain function, and supporting reproductive health.
It takes on average 17 years for research to be applied into practice.
As gut health researchers and practitioners we are here to bring you the science, sooner so you can experience all the benefits of nurturing your microbiome with proven prebiotics.
Our scientifically formulated Cacao Latte delivers prebiotic organic raw fermented cacao, PHGG and arabinoxylan in combination with a heat resistant probiotic proven to nurture microbiome diversity!

Your gut is the foundation for your overall health. That’s why we’ve brought together safe, science-led and prebiotic-packed essentials to nurture your gut microbiome.
Our unique synbiotic Cacao Latte if formulated with clinically selected ingredients that promote the growth of beneficial microbes, strengthen the intestinal barrier, reduce inflammation and promote the production of health loving compounds.
Our scientifically selected ingredients are clinically shown to:
Our key gut diversity prebiotic is 100% naturally sourced partially hydrolysed guar gum.
This low FODPMAP proven prebiotic boosts the growth of beneficial bacteria to nurture your microbiome.
Each serve also delivers 2 Billion CFU of clinically studied Bacillus coagulans, MTCC 5856. Research supports the effectiveness of this probiotic strain to reduce bloating, gastrointestinal issues and abdominal pain, and improve mood.
Bacillus coagulans is heat resistant, increases the production of health loving butyrate and when combined with our key prebiotic in Cacao Latte this probiotic reduces the growth of pathogenic bacteria such as E. coli ATCC 25922.
This synbiotic combination also benefits immune-modulation and regulation of cholesterol and blood sugar levels to support metabolic health.
Organic raw cacao delivers so many gut and health nurturing micronutrients including the micronutrients iron, calcium, zinc, manganese and potassium.
Once this cacao goodness reaches your intestine it exerts its prebiotic effects transforming into bioactive metabolites that enhance gut health.
These flavanol-rich cacao derivatives also increase nitric oxide production for better blood flow, boost mitochondrial health and reduce inflammation.
Organic brown rice powder is packed with phenolics, flavonoids, anthocyanins and proanthocyanins, B vitamins, essential amino acids and dietary fibre.
These antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds deliver prebiotic benefits, helping nurture your gut microbiome.
Getting more synbiotic goodness in your day is a proven strategy to lower inflammation and oxidative stress, regulate metabolism, bring your hormones back to balance, restore energy and improve sleep.
Prebiotic Partially Hydrolysed Guar Galctomannan (PHGG, Sunfiber®), organic ceremonial raw Theobroma cacao, organic brown rice, organic unrefined coconut sugar, sweet potato extract, Bacillus Coagulans MTCC 5856 (Lactospore®)

It hasn’t been until taking Fertile Gut that I have seen such a marked change in PCOS. I couldn’t be more grateful for how this product has improved my dysbiosis occurring in my gut and restoring it to good health!

"I have had digestive issues for as long as I can remember - my gut finally feels like it is healing! The cocoa latte also tastes delicious in my morning coffee. I will be buying again!"
-N.B
I just got my Positive test after trying for 14months. I’ve been consistently using the microbiome and cacoa latte for about 7 months now and I honestly think it had made the biggest difference, this is coming from someone who had endo, pcos and hashimotos. Thankyou so much for creating / having the best product.
