MAYA NUT:

Also known as Ramon Seed, Capomo, Ojoche, Manchinga and many other indigenous names, Maya Nut is the seed of a giant rainforest tree in the fig family. It is not a true nut and does not cause allergic reactions. The Maya Nut we use in Gut Better® is sourced from Maya Nut Institute from women’s cooperatives in Nicaragua. It is a fair wage, wild harvested product which is always tested for mold, heavy metals, herbicides and mycotoxins to ensure purity. Our Maya Nut is produced by women’s cooperatives, who appreciate the safe, dignified, meaningful work. It is hand harvested,  sun dried, selected, roasted and milled to produce the powder we use in our product. It is delicious and has a rich chocolatey aroma and taste. Maya Nut is one of the purest, most nutritious foods you can eat. Because it comes from wild trees in the rainforest, the soils have never been disturbed and the ecosystems where it grows are healthy and thriving. By purchasing Gut Better, you are contributing to a rainforest economy, where healthy forest provides dignified jobs and income to local communities. This motivates them to protect their forests and to plant more trees. Visit www.MayaNutInstitute.org to learn more. To purchase Maya Nut powder, visit www.mayasuperfoods.com. 

Maya Nut is high in prebiotics, antioxidants, phenolic compounds, calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and tryptophan. Maya Nut creates a cascade of health benefits through its action on the gut biome. The prebiotics and phenolic compounds in Maya Nut are food for gut bacteria. When the gut bacteria are healthy and thriving, they create perfect conditions for good digestion and overall health, weight loss, energy, disease resistance and longevity. 

INULIN:

We use organic  Inulin from Chicory Root, Agave Root,  or Jerusalem Artichoke to make Gut Better®. Inulin occurs naturally in a lot of plants. It is 100% prebiotic fiber. Inulin feeds your gut biome, improves calcium absorption and possibly magnesium absorption. It helps regulate blood sugar levels and contributes to a “full feeling” because when your biome has sufficient food to eat, you tend to have fewer food cravings. 

COCONUT OIL:

We use real Coconut Oil as a base for our Gut Better. Coconut Oil may have fat-burning properties. It also provides an excellent source of energy for your body.
