Our story
A Gut Health Food Business. A Pandemic.
A Sister Who Needed Something Better.
The founder
"Why can't a product be clinically effective and easy on your body?"
I spent over 10 years in sports nutrition selling clinical products for athletes. They worked but they were harsh, hard to digest and full of ingredients that had no business in a health product. The other side of the shelf was full of feel good healthy products with almost no evidence behind them. Having watched my sister and women in my family struggle with their digestion I spent 2 years building something that could fix it.
Everything came back to this question
"Why can't a product be clinically effective and made from real food ingredients whilst being easy on your digestion?”
— Kyron Sadik, founder
WHERE THE BRAND ACTUALLY STARTED
The first version of the answer wasn’t a supplement. It was a kitchen.
Kyron hired Rachel, a medicinal chef, and built the original Flax + Beets — a food business where every menu item was not only designed with purpose but had to taste exceptional too. Function without flavour wasn’t the point.

THE GUT HEALTH EVENTS
Women in their 40s and 50s asking the same questions at the seminars: why do I bloat from foods that never used to bother me, why am I exhausted by 3pm, why has my GP dismissed all of this as just stress?
my sister
Constant bloating. Energy crashes. Daily struggle that every solution on the shelf dismissed.
my cousins
Same symptoms. Same frustration. Same dismissed-by-the-GP experience. No real answers.
the pattern
Three separate sources telling me the same thing. The women in my family. The women at the events. And no product on the shelf that addressed any of it properly.
Then COVID hit. The food business closed. I watched my sister’s digestion fall apart at home — dismissed by every solution on the shelf. So I stopped asking “what can I sell?” and started asking “what does it actually take to fix this?”
“The food business taught me what real food can do for the gut. It also taught me what it can’t.”
why us
5 reasons Flax + Beets is different
01
Built food first. Supplement second.
A medicinal chef built meals around gut function before the supplement existed. The understanding came from cooking the philosophy first — and from listening to women at gut-health events for years before any product was ever created.
02
Designed for women 40+. Not adapted for them.
Most gut supplements were built for younger bodies and rebadged. This one started with the women in the founder’s family and the women asking the same questions at the events. The audience came first.
03
Built around what all the gut health research actually agrees on.
Not proprietary breakthroughs or fake science. This is foundational gut health done properly. KSM-66 ashwagandha for the cortisol loop, Digezyme for digestion, BioPerine for absorption, real plant material for microbiome diversity. The consensus, in one formula.
04
One scoop replaces five separate bottles.
Five functional layers, formulated to work as one connected system — instead of five competing supplements taken at five different times of day with no guarantee anything’s working.
05
Every dose on the label.
No proprietary blends. No hidden amounts. Independently tested by Eurofins, with results published. The doses listed on the label are exactly what’s in the scoop.
