A little bit more about us…

For those who don’t know the company history or understand why this matters, let us tell you a bit more about YourGut…. Founded by two sisters, Kylie and Jackie, who devised the concept over 10 years ago.  They wanted to redefine the supplement market to do things differently by creating the purest filler free supplements using only the finest medicinal ingredients that nature has to offer.  Built on the foundations that when taking a supplement for your health, this should only do good in every aspect.  It should do good for the health of the consumer, the happiness of the team and the health of the planet.  These are the core values at the heart of YourGut and that will never change. 

Organic and results driven growth has created a trusted range of products with strong word of mouth when the consumers feel the results.  The sisters, Kylie and Jackie, have over 30 years combined experience in the industry. With Kylie, a trained practitioner and previously a Health Store Manager, more recently trained in Quantum Botanicals.  And Jackie with a background in Nutritional Research for charities, a Consultant devising formulas for many leading supplement and food brands and a Nutritional Therapist and Functional Medicine practitioner who got voted as one of Britain’s top Nutritional Therapists.

The duo combined their experience and skills in opening their own Health Store around 12 years ago which goes from strength to strength and has never compromised on its ethics of only stocking filler free, high quality supplements that only do good.  The reason that YourGut took a little longer to come to fruition was that they were not willing to compromise on quality or manufacture processes so until this could be done to their exacting standards, they were not willing to do it at all.  Thankfully after years of hard work, they were finally ready to move forward with bringing the range to the market.

From all the combined years of experience supporting people with their health needs, the sisters knew that there was always a foundation to supporting good health naturally… YourGut.  The world within us, known as the microbiome, is a fundamental to good health and should be considered a vital organ as without its hard work, we would not exist.  The importance of this commensal relationship is honoured in all of the YourGut range.  Every product contains a unique proprietary probiotic blend specifically designed to enhance the absorption and function of the nutrients, functional foods, hero herbs and medicinal mushrooms within the blend.  They wanted to simplify the supplement regime so the consumer can focus on foods first and have access to complete and advanced supplements that negate the need for complex supplement protocols.  Think of them as your personal consultation in a capsule!

Based on the belief that its what’s inside that counts, but as the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. As with the detail of the inside of the product, the packaging is equally important which is why YourGut only uses glass bottles so they are fully recyclable and to ensure that there is no plastic contamination in the end product.  They therefore teamed up with one of the most beautiful graphic designers and illustrators in the country who is the third director of the company and responsible for their beautiful and eye catching labels.  He brings the products to life with his botanical illustrations picking out the beauty of the nature within the bottles.  As a team, they have created a truly holistic product is designed to not only feel great but look great too.

Whilst the range is still small, yet perfectly formed… there are some exciting new additions coming but please forgive the length of time that it takes to bring these to market.  As with the other blends, there will be no compromises made to speed up this process so they will be ready only when they are 100% satisfied with them.
