Why these ingredients help
• Vitaminis Gut Health shot supplies prebiotics, probiotics, and soothing botanicals to nurture beneficial bacteria.
• Coconut water rehydrates and replaces electrolytes, key for nutrient transport and metabolism.
• Pineapple brings bromelain, a natural enzyme that supports protein digestion and calms inflammation.
• Avocado offers fiber and monounsaturated fats that aid hormone production and improve satiety.
• Chia seeds contribute plant omega-3s and gel-forming fiber that feeds gut microbes.
• Fresh ginger stimulates gastric motility and helps reduce bloating.
• Collagen provides amino acids like glutamine that help maintain the integrity of the gut lining.
• Kale adds chlorophyll, magnesium, and detox-friendly fiber to assist hormone clearance.
Blending a smoothie like this a few times a week—paired with protein-rich meals, plenty of vegetables, restorative sleep, and stress-taming practices—can keep your hormones humming and your metabolism on track.
Cheers to a happier gut and a more balanced body!
