If a single supplement could boost your gut health — by making sure the ‘good’ bacteria reaches the gut alive — you might feel as if you stumbled upon a revolutionary hack or ‘magic pill’.
Yet despite numerous claims and marketing terms made by different supplement makers (we won’t name names) — who create supplements in the form of capsules, gummies, powders, liquids and pills – many experts remain unconvinced that these supplements actually provide any benefit.
The latest supplement on the market hoping to change your mind? Epetōme by Emily English (aka Em the Nutritionist).
Epetōme is a synbiotic duo capsule, designed to deliver 50 billion live cultures to the intestines. And since up to 99% of bacteria can’t survive the acidic conditions of your stomach, Epetōme has been designed with an inner core and an outer shell to help ensure the ingredients get delivered to the gut.
How does it work?
First, the outer shell breaks down in the stomach. Then, the 50 billion live cultures travel to the intestines, where the inner core dissolves to release the bacteria. This technology ensures 30x survival rates compared to a standard capsule – where the bacteria often die before they reach the gut.
Through rigorous SHIME® (Simulator of Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem) testing, the brand has demonstrated the effectiveness of its product in maintaining the viability of its 11 carefully selected bacterial strains.
With no refrigeration and no blending required, you simply take one capsule each morning, and you’re good to go. Talk about convenience.
How is Epetōme different?
‘I always say it’s like buying a white shirt. A white shirt is a white shirt, but how it’s made, how it’s manufactured and the materials used will affect the quality of the shirt,’ says Emily English.
‘So when it came to creating our synbiotic duo cap. I wanted to make sure the materials used were of the highest quality, with capsule technology that ensures you are getting what you need, to the right place, at the right time.’
Emily added; ‘I have aimed to create a supplement that people can feel confident is going to do what it’s supposed to do.
‘We have created something that is of such high quality and I truly believe is one of the best digestive health supplements on the market. Just once a day, every day 360° gut-support, with the aim to help you feel happy and healthier in the long term.’
Epetōme’s synbiotic duo cap will be available to purchase from the brand’s website on 15th April.
