Article Summary:
- The gut microbiome is critical to maintaining various health functions, including emotional well-being and mental health.
- The therapeutic effects of postbiotics, such as butyric acid and plant-derived nutrients, help maintain the gut microbiome and are widely used in supplement formulations.*
- Tesseract’s revolutionary nutrient delivery technology enables unprecedented absorption of active nutrients to enhance their efficacy.*
Did you know your gut health, beyond digestion, is closely associated with your overall health and well-being? The gut is home to trillions of microorganisms, a vast microbiome that helps the body break down food and absorb nutrients. However, the gastrointestinal system does much more than digestion, and there is growing interest in understanding how gut health affects our mood, emotions, sleep, and overall metabolism.
A balanced diet rich in minimally processed foods, fiber, and other diverse micronutrients is critical to promoting optimal gut health. Additionally, gut health supplements can fill any nutritional gaps in your diet. But what are the best supplements for gut health? Below, we explore several targeted gut health supplements developed by Tesseract Medical Research, uniquely designed to optimize the solubility and absorption of active nutrients that promote optimal gastrointestinal function.
The Best Supplements for Gut Health: A Comparison
Probiotics and prebiotics are usually the most discussed gut health supplements for promoting a healthy gut microbiome. However, studies1,2,3 show that the bioactivities of postbiotics are also critical to maintaining optimal gut function.* This is because postbiotics are beneficial compounds produced during the fermentation process by gut bacteria, including different metabolites, enzymes, and peptides, that contribute to gut health and support immune function. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), including butyric acid, are the most researched postbiotics.
Beyond SCFAs, a wide variety of plant extracts offer a range of benefits for gut microbiome health and functionality. Research has shown that certain plant compounds support a balanced gut microbiota composition and promote the production of SCFAs to maintain healthy levels.*
The following table highlights the best supplements for gut health developed by Tesseract Medical Research and how they support your gut function.

Several of the potent, plant-derived nutrients discussed above are known for having poor bioavailability and absorption, which can compromise the efficacy of a supplement formulation. Therefore, beyond the ingredients themselves, what else should you look for in high-quality gut health supplements? An efficient nutrient delivery system.
Why are Tesseract’s Supplement Formulations Among the Best Supplements for Gut Health?
Various approaches have been implemented to enhance the solubility of plant-derived nutrient molecules, including solid dispersions, micronization, nanosizing, cyclodextrins, colloidal drug delivery systems, and solid lipid nanoparticles. The proprietary CyLoC® – DexKey® nutrient delivery nanotechnology developed by Tesseract Medical Research ensures:
- Integrity of biomolecules: The CyLoc® matrix encases individual nutrient molecules to protect their integrity as they transit through the stomach. The CyLoc matrix also masks a nutrient’s unpalatable taste and odor to achieve regimen compliance.
- Targeted delivery: The accompanying DexKey® reactors release each molecule at the desired point in the intestinal tract to accomplish targeted delivery of the nutrient, one molecule at a time
- Micro-dosing: The resulting enhanced absorption means lesser amounts of active ingredients are needed than previously required to achieve the desired and rapid physiological response.
Tesseract’s innovative nutritional supplement formulations containing potent botanical extracts, delivered through proprietary nutrient delivery nanotechnology, enable unprecedented solubility and absorption, making them the best supplements for gut health.
The power of Tesseract supplements lies in enhancing palatability, maximizing absorption and bioavailability, and micro-dosing a single or multiple nutrients in a single, highly effective capsule. Shop products on our website and learn more about how they can help support gastrointestinal health.*
