"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 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 😊
Silken tofu, A2 milk with both latte and micro essentials. Yummy and so good for me.
I highly recommend cocoa latte, improved my sleep, energy levels, bloating and it tastes delicious 😋 I add it to 250mls of milk and half a 🍌 to it.
It has helped with my harmone imbalance and also it cleared my brain fog.
I purchased this for my daughter who isn't always keen on taking supplements, but this delicious drink has changed her mind. She doesn't miss a day and is already feeling better! Looks like I'll be ordering more and don't mind a bit!
I am so impressed with this little genius formula. Pre and pro biotics with some vital nutrients that tastes great! Mixes easily in water, enjoyable berry flavour. And for someone that is weak in the gut, this product kept me in balance without additional probiotics. It’s worth it.

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®)

You may feel some benefits such as feeling fuller for longer after your first Cacao Latte. You may also experience positive shifts in digestion and bowel movements within a few days. Our clinically selected ingredients are shown to benefit reproductive health, metabolic health, mood, sleep, immune function, and change your microbiome community and intestinal barrier function with consistent daily use over four weeks. With continued use you will keep your gut microbiome thriving by delivering unique prebiotic compounds you won't consume in your daily food intake.
We love science so you can rest assured that if we have included it in our formulation, there is evidence to support efficacy of the ingredient.

-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.
