We’re not a family with strong bowels. Crohn’s, colitis, polyps, irritable bowel- you name it, we’ve got it. But it was only when our Dad was diagnosed with rectal cancer that we actually started talking about our gut health.
For decades we’d been terribly British about our bowels. I would regularly be bunged up for a full week on holiday or at times of stress, while my Mum couldn’t stray more than sprinting distance from a loo. We just struggled on, crossing our fingers (or our legs) and hoping for the best.
Suddenly Dad’s bowel cancer put gut health at the top of the agenda, and as a doctor I researched obsessively. We searched for a product that could provide essential fibre, plus also probiotics and prebiotics to boost the gut microbiome and greens to help target inflammation. It was easy to find everything individually- but we wanted something that contained all the active ingredients that could support digestive wellbeing, in a single simple, palatable supplement.
We developed Nixi, as an all-in-one daily supplement to keep our bowels regular and healthy and we hope it will help you too. Whether you take Nixi to stop you feeling bloated or bunged up on holiday, as an occasional cleanse or as a daily gut shot to help protect your bowel from disease, we hope Nixi will help you maintain a happier and healthier gut.
