EUROFINS TESTED

NO PROPRIETARY BLENDS

FORMULATED FOR WOMEN 40+

WHY THIS FORMULA EXISTS

Your gut after 40 needs more than one thing.

Most gut supplements address one part of a multi-layer problem. The Foundation works across five layers — calming the stress hormone cycle, supporting digestion, building microbiome diversity, introducing live cultures, and ensuring your body can absorb what you're putting into it.

01

CALM THE CORTISOL LOOP

The stress hormone cycle damaging your gut lining since perimenopause started.

KSM-66 Ashwagandha 500mg

500mg

Root extract, 5% withanolides, organic. The most clinically studied ashwagandha extract on the market — 24 published trials, used at this exact dose in cortisol research.

Aquamin Magnesium

56mg
A seaweed-derived form of magnesium that supports cortisol regulation, sleep quality, and gut motility. Works alongside the ashwagandha rather than as a standalone dose.

WHY THIS LAYER MATTERS

Cortisol is the lever. When cortisol stays elevated, progesterone falls, the gut lining weakens, and the entire cascade starts. Calming this layer is what makes the rest of the formula work — and it's the layer most gut supplements skip entirely.

02

SUPPORT DIGESTION

Stomach acid and enzyme production decline after 40.

Digezyme — 5 enzymes

150mg

A clinically validated full-spectrum enzyme blend. Protease, α-Amylase 24,000 DU/g, Cellulase 1,100 CU/g, Lactase 4,000 ALU/g, and Neutral Protease 6,000 PC/g — breaking down protein, carbohydrate, fibre, and dairy.

Herbal botanical blend

525mg total

Turmeric root 100mg · Fennel leaf 100mg · Dandelion root 100mg · Cinnamon extract 100mg · Ginger root extract 50mg · Peppermint leaf extract 25mg. Traditional digestive botanicals for bloating, gas, and post-meal discomfort.

WHY THIS LAYER MATTERS

You can take the most expensive supplement on the market, but if your body can't break it down properly, you're paying for nutrients that pass through. The enzyme layer is what makes the rest of the formula bioavailable.

03

MICROBIOME DIVERSITY

Real plant material at meaningful doses — the food your gut bacteria actually need.

Polyphenol Fruit Blend

1,533mg

24 fruits including acai, blueberry, pomegranate, elderberry, black currant, cherry, raspberry, cranberry,

strawberry, mango, papaya, pineapple, plum, prune, goji, noni, lemon peel, orange peel, banana, apple, and pumpkin. Polyphenols feed beneficial bacteria and support microbiome diversity.

Antioxidant Greens + Veg Blend

1,350mg

14 greens and vegetables: alfalfa, chlorella, hibiscus, purple cabbage, beet juice, broccoli, carrot, collard green, kale, kelp, parsley, spinach, spirulina, and tomato. Chlorophyll, micronutrients, and the fibre diversity gut bacteria thrive on.

Spirulina

970mg

A standalone inclusion at clinical dose. Anti-inflammatory, iron-supporting, and a source of bioavailable protein co-factors.

WHY THIS LAYER MATTERS

The live cultures in Layer 04 need food to do their work. Most supplements add a single prebiotic fibre and call it done. We use 35+ varieties of real plant material — fruits, greens, vegetables, polyphenols — at doses that actually feed the microbiome.

04

LIVE CULTURES

Five clinically researched strains the body recognises.

Lactobacillus plantarum 

Part of 5BN CFU blend

A widely studied strain with broad gut compatibility — gentle introduction for sensitive systems.

Lactobacillus rhamnosus 

Part of 5BN CFU blend

One of the most evidence-backed strains for women's gut health, including IBS and digestive comfort.

Bifidobacterium lactis 

Part of 5BN CFU blend

Supports the colon and overall gut transit. Naturally declines with age.

Lactobacillus casei 

Part of 5BN CFU blend

Helps maintain microbial balance and supports the gut's natural barrier function.

Lactobacillus acidophilus 

Part of 5BN CFU blend

A foundational strain with a long research track record for general digestive support.

WHY THIS LAYER MATTERS

Five strains at 5 billion CFU total, formulated for gentle daily introduction rather than acute high-dose intervention. The September formula increases this to 20BN CFU and adds L. reuteri specifically for estrobolome support — see below.

05

ABSORB WHAT YOU EAT

The bioavailability layer most formulas skip.

BioPerine Black Pepper Extract

10mg

A patented black pepper extract standardised to 95% piperine. Increases absorption of nutrients across the formula by up to 20× — turmeric, ashwagandha, and the wider antioxidant blend all benefit.

Aquamin Marine Minerals

120mg

Seaweed-derived calcium plus 72 trace minerals — magnesium, zinc, selenium, and the wider micronutrient profile. Supports bone density, a specific concern after 40.

WHY THIS LAYER MATTERS

Bioavailability is the layer most brands skip because it's a small line item that looks unimpressive. It's also the layer that determines whether the rest of the scoop actually does anything in your body.
