Use the comparison guide below to decide whether you prefer a digestive enzyme formula, a multi-strain live-culture capsule, a broader herbal product, a single-ingredient glutamine powder or a combined bundle.
Which digestion supplement should I choose?
Digestive Stack is best suited for customers looking for a meal-timed, multi ingredient digestive formula
Probiotics – 50 Billion CFU is best suited for customers wanting a transparent, high strength multi-strain product
Gut Guard+ is best for customers looking for a broad, comprehensive herbal formula
100% Glutamine is for customers wanting a simple, single ingredient product
These products are not direct substitutes for one another. Select according to the ingredient profile, format, serving size and suitability that best fit your routine.
What are digestion support supplements?
Digestion support supplements are products containing ingredients commonly selected by customers building a structured nutrition and digestive routine.
Depending on the formula, they may contain:
- Digestive enzymes
- Live bacterial cultures
- Amino acids such as L-glutamine
- Betaine hydrochloride
- Ginger or peppermint extracts
- Zinc containing compounds
- Botanical extracts
- Calcium containing ingredients
These categories should not be treated as interchangeable.
A digestive enzyme formula has a different ingredient profile and usage pattern from a multi-strain live culture product or a stand alone glutamine powder.
Supplements should complement a varied and balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. Persistent bloating, pain, altered bowel habits, unexplained weight loss, bleeding or other ongoing digestive symptoms should be assessed by an appropriate healthcare professional rather than self-managed through supplementation alone.
Why choose Supplement Needs digestion formulas?
Full formula transparency
Every active ingredient and quantity is clearly stated. This makes it easier to compare formulas and check for ingredient overlap before combining products.
Different products for different routines
The collection includes:
- Meal timed capsule formulas
- Daily live-culture capsules
- Comprehensive herbal formulas
- Single ingredient powders
- Pre-built bundles
This allows customers to choose based on formulation rather than assuming every “digestion supplement” provides the same ingredients.
Formulated with expert input
Key products within the range, including Digestive Stack and Probiotics, are formulated by Dr Dean St Mart PhD and provide clearly itemised ingredient profiles rather than proprietary blends.
Clear serving guidance
Each product page explains its serving size, timing and format. Always follow the directions for the individual product rather than applying the same routine across the entire collection.
Understanding the different formulas
Digestive Stack
Digestive Stack is the most meal focused product in the collection.
Each two capsule serving contains:
- 600mg betaine hydrochloride
- 500mg ginger extract, providing 25mg gingerols
- 162.5mg pancreatin, listing amylase, protease and lipase activity
- 150mg zinc carnosine, providing 34.5mg zinc
- 100mg pepsin
- 25mg alpha-galactosidase
- 0.3mg diamine oxidase
The current directions recommend taking two capsules approximately 25 minutes before the first or largest meal of the day, with the option to begin with one capsule according to tolerance.
Each tub contains 120 capsules and provides 60 two capsule servings.
Choose Digestive Stack if…
You want:
- A meal timed capsule formula
- Digestive enzymes and betaine HCl within one product
- A clearly stated seven ingredient formula
- 60 servings per tub
- A product that differs from a daily live-culture or standalone glutamine supplement
Because Digestive Stack contains betaine HCl and a relatively high declared amount of zinc, customers taking medication or managing a medical condition should seek professional advice before use.
Probiotics - 50 Billion CFU
Supplement Needs Probiotics is a multi strain live-culture formula providing 50 billion CFU per capsule from 16 listed strains.
Each strain is declared at 3.125 billion CFU, and the tub contains 60 capsules.
What does CFU mean?
CFU stands for colony forming units. It is the measurement used on live-culture products to state the declared quantity of viable microorganisms.
A higher CFU figure does not automatically make a product more suitable for every customer. Strain selection, personal tolerance, storage, dosage and existing health circumstances also matter.
Choose Probiotics if…
You want:
- A multi strain rather than single strain formula
- 16 clearly identified strains
- 50 billion CFU per capsule
- A convenient capsule format
- A product suitable for vegan and vegetarian customers
- a Halal certified live-culture formula
The product page notes that individual responses can vary and that some users may experience changes in bowel habits when introducing a high-strength, multi-strain formula.
Customers with ongoing gastrointestinal symptoms, recent antibiotic use, immune compromise or diagnosed conditions should seek professional advice before use.
Gut Guard+
Gut Guard+ is the broadest herbal product within the collection. It contains 21 listed ingredients and is supplied as 240 capsules, providing 30 eight capsule servings.
The formula includes ingredients such as:
- Berberine HCl
- Pau d’arco
- Wormwood
- Oregano
- Olive leaf
- Thyme
- Clove
- Ginger
- Peppermint
- Black walnut
- Calcium caprylate
Each serving includes 500mg berberine HCl, 400mg oregano extract, 200mg ginger extract and 200mg peppermint extract.
Choose Gut Guard+ if…
You want:
- A broad multi ingredient herbal formula
- A fully transparent 21 ingredient profile
- A formula containing berberine, oregano, ginger and peppermint
- A daily serving that can be taken at once or divided across the day
- A more comprehensive option than a single ingredient product
Because Gut Guard+ contains many botanical ingredients, customers should carefully review the complete formula for suitability, medication interactions and ingredient overlap before use.
100% Glutamine
100% Glutamine is the simplest product in the collection.
Each 5g serving contains 5,000mg pure L-glutamine, with no other active ingredients. Each 500g tub provides 100 servings. The powder is suitable for vegan and vegetarian customers and is Halal certified.
Choose 100% Glutamine if…

- An unflavoured powder that is easy to add to a wider routine
- A vegan, vegetarian and Halal-certified formula
Gut Health and Digestion Stack
The Gut Health and Digestion Stack combines:
- One 500g tub of 100% Glutamine
- One 60 capsule tub of Probiotics
The glutamine provides 5g L-glutamine per serving, while the live culture product provides 50 billion CFU from 16 strains per capsule.
Choose the bundle if…
You want:
- Probiotics and Glutamine in one order
- A capsule and powder combination
- A lower bundle price than purchasing both products separately
- The flexibility to use each product according to its own directions
The bundle does not include Digestive Stack or Gut Guard+.
Building a structured digestion supplement routine
A complicated supplement routine is not automatically a better one.
Begin by identifying which product format matches your reason for browsing:
- Meal timed formula: Digestive Stack
- Multi strain live-culture product: Probiotics

- Follow each product’s stated directions.
- Speak to a healthcare professional when medication or an existing medical condition is involved.
