Gut-Supportive Herbs. Using fresh, polyphenol-rich culinary herbs like mint have been shown to positively modulate the microbiota. Furthermore, the mentol in mint is well-known for its capacity to help relax the muscles in the digestive tract.
Microbial Avo-Boost. Gut-loving avocados have been shown to help increase α-diversity, as well as enrich Faecalibacterium, Lachnospira, and Alistipes by up to 65% compared with a control group.
Polyphenol-Rich Peas. Whole peas are nutrient-dense and abundant in macronutrients like proteins, starches, dietary fiber and non-starch polysaccharides. Pea coats are full of polyphenols, which are important bioactive ingredients that carry countless health benefits, like reducing the risk of cancer.
