Ingredients
Monolaurin
Monolaurin is a fatty-acid compound derived from lauric acid — the same fatty acid that makes coconut and breast milk biologically active. It supports microbial balance and digestive resilience as part of gut-focused formulas. We use it where the goal is a stable internal environment maintained through dietary lipid pathways.
Caprylic Acid
Magnesium Caprylate
Caprylic acid is a medium-chain fatty acid traditionally used to support microbial balance in the digestive tract. Delivered as magnesium caprylate, it’s well-tolerated and steady-acting — a foundational ingredient for ongoing gut work rather than short, aggressive interventions. We use it where stability over time matters most.
Berberine
Berberine is an alkaloid found in barberry, goldenseal, and Oregon grape, with strong support behind its role in gut microbial balance and metabolic function. It’s a staple in gut-focused formulas and works through several pathways at once. We use it where the digestive environment needs both microbial and metabolic-level support.
Serrapeptidase
Serrapeptidase is a proteolytic enzyme used in practitioner-guided protocols for tissue comfort and normal inflammatory response. It works at the protein level rather than the gut-microbe level, which makes it a distinctive complement in broader digestive and systemic-balance formulas. We use it where a different mechanism rounds out the picture.
Grapefruit Seed Extract
10:1 Extract
Citrus paradisi
Grapefruit Seed Extract is a concentrated citrus-seed compound traditionally used for digestive microbial balance. In gut-focused formulas, it contributes to a healthy and stable internal environment alongside other supporting ingredients. We use it as a steady, well-tolerated component for ongoing gut work rather than for short bursts of intervention.
Pau d’Arco
Tabebuia heptaphylla
Pau d’Arco is the inner bark of a South American tree, used for generations in formulas focused on digestive microbial balance and elimination support. It’s a gentle but reliable component for ongoing gut work, well-suited to protocols where the goal is rebalance rather than disruption.
Oregano
Essential Oil 60% Carvacrol
Origanum vulgare
Oregano essential oil, standardized for its carvacrol content, is one of the most potent botanical tools for microbial balance in the digestive tract. We use it sparingly — its strength is the point — as part of formulas designed to maintain a stable internal environment without disrupting the broader gut ecology.
Clove Bud
Essential Oil 80% Eugenol
Syzygium aromaticum
Clove Bud essential oil, rich in eugenol, supports digestive function and microbial balance in concentrated form. It pairs naturally with other botanical oils in gut-focused protocols and contributes to resilience without overwhelming gentler ingredients. We use it where targeted essential-oil action belongs inside a larger digestive-support strategy.
Thyme
Essential Oil 40% Thymol
Thymus vulgaris
Thyme essential oil, standardized to thymol, is a well-established botanical tool for microbial balance in the digestive tract. It rounds out the essential-oil profile in gut-focused formulas, working alongside oregano and clove. We use it for measured, steady support of a stable gut environment rather than disruptive intervention.
Most gut products try to fix the microbiome by adding more bacteria to it. We took a different path with Microbiome Balance. For a lot of the people we work with, especially those with sensitive systems, introducing new organisms is exactly what causes trouble. So instead of adding bacteria, this formula uses plant compounds to support the microbiome you already have, helping the beneficial activity already present in your gut do its job in a more stable internal environment. It is a botanical approach to gut balance, built for people who have not done well with probiotics.
Why We Chose Plants Over Probiotics
Probiotics work beautifully for some people and poorly for others. When the gut is already reactive, adding live organisms can stir things up rather than settle them. Microbiome Balance is built for that second group. Rather than introducing anything new, it uses well-tolerated botanical compounds to help maintain a balanced gut environment and support the microbial activity already there. It is support without disruption, which is the whole point.
Berberine: The Multi-Pathway Foundation
At the center of the formula is berberine, an alkaloid found in barberry, goldenseal, and Oregon grape with a long record of use for gut microbial balance and metabolic function. What makes berberine valuable is that it works through several pathways at once, supporting both the microbial side of gut health and the metabolic side. We use it as the foundation here because the digestive environment rarely needs support in only one direction, and berberine meets it on more than one front.
A Measured Essential-Oil Profile
Botanical oils are powerful, and we use them deliberately. Oregano essential oil, standardized for its carvacrol content, is one of the most potent botanical tools for microbial balance in the digestive tract. Clove bud oil, rich in eugenol, and thyme oil, standardized to thymol, round out the profile, each supporting a stable internal environment in concentrated form. We include these sparingly and in balance, because their strength is the point, used to support gut ecology rather than overwhelm it.
Fatty Acids and Supporting Botanicals
Beyond the oils, the formula draws on compounds the body recognizes from food. Monolaurin, derived from lauric acid, the same fatty acid that makes coconut biologically active, supports microbial balance and digestive resilience. Caprylic acid, delivered as well-tolerated magnesium caprylate, is a medium-chain fatty acid that supports a stable gut environment over time. Black Walnut Hull, a traditional botanical with a long history of use for digestive-tract microbial balance, supports a healthy gut environment, while Pau d'Arco, the inner bark of a South American tree, and Grapefruit Seed Extract add gentle, reliable support for digestive balance. Serrapeptase, a proteolytic enzyme, supports a clean, balanced gut surface. Each was chosen to work steadily rather than aggressively.
Digestive Comfort and Regularity
A balanced microbiome shows up in how you feel day to day. By supporting the existing microbial environment rather than disrupting it, Microbiome Balance helps maintain smooth digestion, regular elimination, and the reduced bloating and discomfort that often accompany microbial imbalance. The aim is steadier, more comfortable digestion as a natural result of a more balanced internal environment.
Where Microbiome Balance Fits
We designed Microbiome Balance for ongoing gut work, particularly for people who want microbial support without the reactivity that probiotics can bring. Because it nourishes the existing microbiome through well-tolerated plant compounds, it fits naturally into comprehensive gut routines alongside dietary changes, stress management, and other digestive support. It is steady, plant-based, and built for the long game of gut balance.

Microbial Balance
Built to support microbial balance and digestive comfort over time.
Microbiome Balance supports gut microbial balance, digestive comfort, and regular elimination using plant-based compounds rather than probiotics — making it well-suited for sensitive systems that don't respond well to introducing new organisms. The formula works by stabilizing the gut environment so beneficial microbes can thrive on their own, supporting steadier digestion and gut comfort over time without abrupt shifts.
01Day-to-day differences
More consistent digestion over time
Reduced bloating and digestive discomfort
More regular bowel patterns
A steadier, more resilient gut baseline
02Who this is for
Microbiome Balance is ideal for individuals seeking gut support without probiotics, those experiencing inconsistent digestion or microbial imbalance, or anyone wanting steady, long‑term digestive support that works gently with sensitive systems.
03What to expect
Changes in digestion and comfort typically build gradually with consistent use. Some individuals notice improvements in regularity and reduced bloating within the first few weeks, while others experience more subtle shifts as the gut environment stabilizes over time.
04How it works
Microbiome Balance supports the internal gut environment using plant‑based compounds that help maintain microbial balance without introducing new organisms. The formula promotes a more stable digestive ecosystem, supports regular elimination, and helps maintain gut comfort during periods of dietary changes, stress, or imbalance.
What it supports
System-level benefits
Microbial Balance
Supporting existing microbial balance
Rather than adding new bacteria, nine plant-based compounds work with the microbiome you already have — nourishing beneficial activity and helping the gut environment regulate itself.
Plant-based, non-probiotic approach
Nourishes existing beneficial activity
Helps regulate the internal gut environment
Gut & Microbiome
A more stable digestive ecosystem
When the gut environment is volatile, everything feels reactive. Microbiome Balance supports the underlying stability that makes regular elimination and consistent comfort possible — the slow work of an ecosystem righting itself.
Promotes a more stable gut environment
Encourages regular elimination
Reduces bloating and digestive volatility
Inflammation Response
A calmer internal environment
Microbial imbalance often shows up as bloating, reactivity, and discomfort. Plant compounds in the formula influence gut pH and microbial signaling to maintain a less inflammatory internal environment.
Influences gut pH and signaling
Reduces inflammatory reactivity
Supports calmer digestion under demand
Recovery Comfort
Gentle enough for sensitive systems
Some people experience digestive disruption with probiotics. Microbiome Balance offers a non-disruptive alternative that supports gut balance without introducing new organisms — a fit for sensitive guts and long-term routines.
Non-disruptive alternative to probiotics
Suitable for sensitive digestive systems
Designed for long-term routine use

What to Expect
Your recovery timeline
Microbiome Balance is designed to support a healthier gut environment. Because gut rebalancing is gradual, changes tend to unfold over weeks rather than days.
Weeks 0-2
Your gut environment is shifting
Shifts in bowel habits, bloating, or how you feel after meals are common early signs the formula is working. Stay hydrated and check in with your practitioner if anything feels intense.
Weeks 3-6
A clearer, more settled gut starts to emerge
Less bloating, more predictable digestion, and a clearer sense of what agrees with you. The formula's work becomes more apparent as the gut environment stabilizes.
Week 7+
A more balanced, resilient microbiome
The goal is a gut that is less reactive to dietary variation, stress, or the kinds of exposures that used to trigger symptoms. Digestive comfort improves significantly with sustained use.
Individual results vary. This is a general guideline, not a guarantee. Always consult your health care practitioner before starting or changing any supplement routine.

Great!
These are awesome. They are a very large capsule size but it's never been something I've struggled with. Because of some of the ingredients, they do have a stronger almost essential oil scent. Very similar to tea tree oil. I don't mind that though. This has tons of different things that are GREAT for the gut microbiome which benefits us entirely. Can take 2 up to 2x per day. I take 2 each day. I've noticed a good difference in digestion, skin. And overall feeling. I'll get these again to see longterm results.

So many wonderful ingredients
I love all the wonderful ingredients in this supplement. I really like all of them that are supposed to be beneficial for my gut health and looking forward to those benefits. The capsule is a medium size has kind of a sweet smell to it but no taste that I could detect, it was also pretty easy to swallow

Quality digestive supplement
This came in a brown glass bottle, not like the white one pictured. It has a slight but pleasant fragrance (probably from the essential oils). Capsules are average size, easy to swallow. The ingredients are good for digestive health, but whether they'll help any particular person is an individual thing. Overall it seems to be a quality product and worth a try if you have digestive issues.

Glass bottle, yellow capsules, jury is still out...
Received this supplement recently and was surprised it was in a thick glass bottle. The capsules inside are standard sized and yellow in color as seen in the picture. There is a unique smell to the capsules, almost like curry or some type of similar spice smell.The ingredients lists is a blend of proprietary supplements that make up 1,215mg in each capsule, with 23mg being magnesium. The serving size is 2 "vegetarian" capsules, and there are 60 capsules in the bottle.So far I have not noticed any issues with taking the capsules but I cant say I have seen any changes yet, but usually these things take time.Overall 4 stars, hope this helps!

Strong with clove
I like clove. This is a great supplement for my gut health concerns. While taking it I felt great. No irration, no issues.I liked that serving size is 2 months which makes the cost better knowing it's for 60 days instead of a month.

Okay
It’s hard to say whether it works well or not. But mine came in a nice glass bottle, which is different than the pictures but that’s okay with me. When you open the bottle, it will smell strongly like your spice cabinet. Lol i’m not sure what exact spice it smells like, but it’s definitely strong and unlike any other probiotic i’ve used in the past. It tastes like spices as well, which i’m not a big fan of but it’s not a huge deal.

Other than the clove being strong, this is excellent stuff!
Normally when I take detox supplements, especially digestive ones, I end up having to use the bathroom a lot and it gives me a belly ache. This stuff didn't do that at all! (Keep in mind, I take half the recommended dose as I have hypersensitivity so a little goes a long way with me) And the ingredients are all fantastic! Nothing bad at all and vegetarian! No worries about meat based or pig gelatin!The ONLY thing that I can say that isn't negative, but more of a warning - the clove oil is strong and makes the capsule numb your tongue. (Clove has numbing properties which is a blessing and may be why it doesn't bother my stomach).AND - it IS expensive. BUT worth it. This stuff is amazing. It even has Pao D Arco which is a powerful antioxidant!

Where are they actually made?
This seems like a high quality supplement from a well established brand. I like that I only need to take 2 capsules per day as the dose, because some supplements you have to take too many and it makes it too much when you have other pills to take daily. The pills themselves are vegetarian friendly and the bottle has plenty of information about what you are taking. It does have some down sides like the amounts in their proprietary blend aren't detailed, but I like that they do explain every ingredient that is actually in their blend. Also they do smell strongly of rosemary. I do wish it said where these were manufactured, because I like to know how they were tested.

Seems to be working
The ingredient mix seems to work well, especially through the holiday season when there are extra treats to eat and drink, that tend to mess with the microbiome. A great addition to holiday time when the gut can be challenged…stress, parties, family, travel, etc.
