Clinically-tested probiotic supplement for gut-liver axis and detoxification support / 30 daily sachets

Omni-Biotic Hetox is a powerful probiotic supplement specifically developed to support the gut-liver axis and encourage healthy detoxification and metabolism. We love it for anyone who’d describe themselves as “burning the candle at both ends,” with a lifestyle that includes travel, lack of sleep, and a diet that might be higher than they’d like in processed foods, fatty foods, and alcohol; it has proven positive effects for those struggling with blood sugar control or other symptoms related to metabolism; and it can even help those who experience migraines and night waking.

Hetox is the most potent probiotic from Omni-Biotic, Europe’s leading probiotic brand and one of the most trusted, reliable probiotic brands worldwide. This Austrian company takes science very seriously. Each probiotic strain they work with is deeply researched; they then combine the most promising ones in formulas that address specific concerns, completing human clinical trials on these formulas with results that are awe-inspiring. 

Hetox has several clinical studies to support its efficacy:

- Two different studies demonstrated its positive impact on the metabolic health of Type 2 diabetics. After 6 months of taking Hetox, participants saw a significant decrease in endotoxins and significant improvement in markers for metabolic syndrome: a 48% decrease in triglyceride levels, a 53% decrease in C-reactive protein (a major marker for inflammation), and a 64.2% decrease in HOMA, which is a marker for insulin sensitivity.

- Another key study that won an award in Europe looked at patients with liver cirrhosis. The group taking Hetox experienced significant improvement in macrophage (immune cell) activity, a significantly reduced rate of secondary infections, and improved infection defense.

- Two very compelling studies on Hetox with migraine showed that those taking the supplement experienced a 33% reduction in migraine days after 8 weeks, a 58% reduction in migraine intensity, and a 70-80% reduction in accompanying symptoms.

Additionally, healthcare practitioners working directly with Omni-Biotic have noted that their patients who typically experience night wakings report sleeping much better and not waking up during that time after taking Hetox; it’s been a godsend for menopausal women who have trouble sleeping.

This probiotic is shelf-stable and doesn’t require refrigeration. Omni-Biotic packages its probiotics in powder form that you take by mixing with room-temperature water or another non-acidic liquid (milk, non-dairy milk, apple juice). This form has been shown in multiple clinical trials to significantly outperform capsules in the delivery of live, active probiotics: Omni-Biotic probiotics have shown to deliver 83% of active, healthy bacteria to the intestines compared to an average of only 7% in other top US probiotic brands.

For those of you who are really into probiotics: Omni-Biotic uses human keystone strains (isolated from the human GI tract) rather than spore-based strains. While spore-based strains tend to be more stable and easier to deliver in a capsule form, Omni-Biotic chooses to work with human keystone strains for their improved viability and greater chance of colonization for longer-lasting benefits. 

Dara could not be happier to have stumbled upon this gem in a pharmacy in Vienna — and to have found the company that brought Omni-Biotic to the US. Read more about them in our Brand Spotlight.
