Pendulum Therapeutics, a brand specializing in gut health, metabolic health, and microbiome products, announced the launch of Gut Fuel, a flavorless prebiotic fiber and polyphenol blend that can be added to foods and beverages to support the gut, digestion, and metabolism.

The doctor-formulated blend of plant-based fibers and polyphenols aids digestion, improves regularity, and nourishes the gut microbiome to support GLP-1 signaling pathways.

It features 6 grams of fiber per serving, with ingredients including resistant potato starch, baobab, acacia, oat beta-glucan, and grape seed extract, which together support healthy blood sugar levels, metabolic function, satiety, digestion, and healthy gut bacteria.

“Just as we need to feed our bodies, we need to feed the healthy bacteria in our gut microbiome,” said Colleen Cutcliffe, PhD, co-founder and CEO. “The resistant starches, diverse fibers, and polyphenol antioxidants in Pendulum Gut Fuel nourish beneficial gut bacteria, and because it blends seamlessly into everyday foods, it turns virtually any meal into a superfood that closes the fiber gap and supports the microbiome.”

Gut fuel is designed to help bridge gaps in fiber and polyphenol consumption, and is suitable for those with sensitive guts or on a low-FODMAP diet.

“The gut microbiome is the underpinning of so many systems in the body,” said Adam Perlman, MD, chief medical officer of Pendulum Therapeutics. “When your gut is thriving, your metabolism, immunity, sleep, mood, and even longevity are all improved. This is not just about digestion anymore, though that will also improve.”

Gut Fuel can be added to any food or beverage without changing its flavor. It comes in either a 30-serving pouch or in a package of 15 individual serving sticks, and is available to purchase with HSA/FSA funds.
