Nixi is designed to provide all-in-one support for gut health. It is rich in ingredients that have been shown in research to help with digestive health, including keeping bowel movements regular, nourishing your ‘good’ gut bacteria, helping to reduce inflammation, and protecting the bowel from damage and disease.
A daily shot of Nixi works in five ways to help support your gut's health and function:
Softer, easier and more regular bowel motions
Nixi is rich in psyllium husk and oat fibre, both natural sources of soluble fibre which adds bulk and draws fluid into your stools. Taken regularly, with plenty of liquid, it can help combat constipation and make your bowel movements smoother, softer and more regular. [1]
Less bloating
Nixi contains probiotics including Lactobacillus and bifidobacterium which can help support the balance of ‘good’ bacteria in your bowel. A balanced microbiome may help fortify gut health by aiding in digestion, reducing inflammation and easing abdominal distension and discomfort.[2]
Balanced gut microbiome
Nixi contains Inulin extracted from chicory root. Inulin acts as a prebiotic, nourishing your healthy gut bacteria. Probiotics and prebiotics can help your gut’s "good” bacteria, helping to create and maintain a balanced microbiome which is important for optimal digestion.[3]
Reduced inflammation
Nixi contains Spirulina, a nutrient-rich green algae that contains protein, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Early research indicates that it may support gut health by fighting oxidative stress and inflammation and helping to improve your digestive wellness.[4]
Bowel protection from damage and disease
Nixi’s active ingredients can help fortify the gut lining, improving its barrier function and enhancing overall bowel health. Probiotics may help protect the gastrointestinal lining from damage by toxins, bacteria and allergens[5].
In an ideal world we’d get all our body’s needs from a healthy balanced diet-but modern lives are far from ideal. One daily sachet of Nixi can help you get the fibre you need, boost your digestive wellbeing and support your bowel health, while you get on with work, rest and play.
Please note that Nixi is not a replacement for a healthy diet or for your prescribed drugs. It’s sensible to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplements, especially if you have underlying health conditions, you are experiencing a change to your bowel habit, or are taking medications.
