If improving your gut health is a priority, we've rounded up all the pharmacist-approved supplements to help you achieve that goal.
Whether you're looking to improve your digestive health or replenish your body after taking antibiotics, a consistent regimen of supplements is the perfect solution.
In addition to a balanced diet, regular exercise, and a healthy lifestyle that includes good sleep, additional gut health can also support our digestive health and overall well-being. However, it can be difficult to know which one is right for you.
That's why we enlisted the help of Irish pharmacist and doctor Onagh O'Hagan from Meaghers Pharmacy Group to advise us. A pharmacist with over 20 years experience, she founded Meaghers Pharmacy Group in 2001 and her passion for helping people remains as strong as it was in her early days.
This is perfect timing because throughout the month of February Meaghers Pharmacy is offering a 20% discount on all gut health products with the code GUT20 to IMAGE readers only, so it's time to stock up for the season! advance
