We don’t have to tell you that gut health is a hot topic right now. You’re probably fielding a lot of questions from your patients about gut health, diets, and supplements.
This is why the global gut health market is booming right now and is expected to grow even more over the next few years. In fact, the global digestive health products market size was estimated to be 51.46 billion in 2024, and it’s expected to more than double to 105.48 billion by the year 2033. The message here is clear: Gut health is not a fad. It’s here to stay.
With that in mind, here are some of the market’s most popular and most effective supplements that you may consider recommending for your gut health patients.
Probiotics are known to help symptoms such as gut pain, bloating, and flatulence. Probiotic supplements may contain one type of bacterial strain, yeast, spore-forming bacteria, or a combination of multiple species or genera. Some common examples include:
Probiotics can help the neurotransmitters involved in pain, which can support gut barrier function, and also improve the inflammatory profile.

Other digestive enzymes may include sucrase, which helps the body break down sucrose sugar, as well as lactase to break down the lactose sugars in most dairy products.
