Digestion
Sorted from the strongest evidence to the most limited.
Berberine
Strong
A plant extract extensively studied for blood sugar and cholesterol, often mistakenly presented as a "natural Ozempic".
Ginger
Strong
A root that relieves pregnancy and postoperative nausea and painful periods; a slight effect on muscle soreness, mixed results on osteoarthritis.
Glutamine
Strong
An amino acid highly present in muscles. In the healthy athlete, its claimed benefits are poorly supported; its measured effects concern the gut during exertion and critically ill patients.
Prebiotics (inulin, FOS)
Strong
Dietary fibers (inulin, FOS) that nourish gut bifidobacteria: slightly more regular transit, a small drop in blood sugar in diabetics; nothing in irritable bowel syndrome, and extra gas.
Probiotics
Strong
Living bacteria: each strain has its effects, and in healthy adults, they do not change the overall composition of the microbiota.
Psyllium
Strong
A soluble fiber that swells upon contact with water. Studied for bowel movement, satiety, and cholesterol.
