Q: Why were these new ingredients added?
A: The additions improve total gut support by addressing:
- Prebiotic fiber (Guar Gum) to feed beneficial bacteria
- Anti-inflammatory + mucosal repair synergy (Ashwagandha + Okra)
- A more complete strain diversity for probiotic coverage
Q: How should I use the new version?
A: The new serving is 4 vegetable capsules daily, compared to 2 previously. It can be taken all at once or split across the day (e.g., 2 with breakfast, 2 with dinner). No refrigeration needed.
