Sharing is caring!

Today I’m sharing 10 gut and hormone supplements I take (or have taken).

Please keep in mind that you need to consult with your doctor about supplements and medications.

I share these 10 gut and hormone supplements so that if there are some you think could help you, you can bring them to your doctor’s attention and/or do more research on your own.

I am not a doctor, and these are never prescriptions for you.

10 Gut and Hormone Supplements

1 – 4. Probiotic, Beta-TCP, Cod Liver Oil, and HCl

I talked about all four of these supplements HERE.

5. L-glutamine

Glutamine is an essential amino acid that is anti-inflammatory and necessary for the growth and repair of your intestinal lining. L-glutamine acts a protector and coats your cell walls, acting as a repellent to irritants.

Glutamine is the body’s most abundant amino acid, representing approximately 40% to 60% of the total amino acid pool in the body, playing a crucial role in various physiological processes, including protein synthesis, immune function, and (of course) maintaining the integrity of the gut lining. 

I take one scoop minimum daily, but there is a lot of research to support taking far more than that if you have leaky gut.

6. Ox Bile

Derived from a bovine source and freeze-dried (lyophilized) to maintain its biological activity. Ox Bile is a suitable supplement to the livers production of bile.

The main goal of Ox Bile is to support the liver so that you absorb fats and fat-soluble vitamins better.

If you’re still experiencing “sticky poo,” this might be right for you.

7. Calcium D-Glucarate

I take one capsule two times per day.

My doctors have me using this for two main reasons: To prevent recycling of environmental toxins and hormones back into the liver, aiding in their elimination from the body, and to supports healthy hormone metabolism.

I am still going through testing to determine more about toxins and mold exposure, but for now, this has been a great place to start. 

8. Adrenal Glandular

This one is powerful, so please do not take it without consulting with your doctor first. Yes, even if you can just buy it on your own.

First. What is it? 3 capsules provide the equivalent of one-quarter ounce of fresh, raw whole adrenal and one-quarter ounce of fresh raw whole liver.

It is used for those with adrenal, hormonal and other fatigue issues.

For me, it was a game changer.

I was taking 3 for quite some time but I was way too wired. I was naturally waking up around midnight and then 3-4 am and staying up for the day.

It was not good for me, so I reduced down to 2 (my doctor said I’d need 2-3, and she told me to monitor it). But taking 2 first thing in the morning has been amazing (now I only wake up around 4 am each morning and that’s perfectly okay with me)! 

9. Dim Detox

I take one capsule first thing in the morning. It helps to promote healthy cell cycle function and hormone metabolism to support the liver’s natural detoxification process and cellular health.

DIM Detox promotes healthy cell cycle function and hormone metabolism to support the liver’s natural detoxification process. 

DIM Detox includes ingredients like broccoli sprout concentrate to promote phase II detoxification pathways and healthy cell metabolism.

10. Collagen

Collagen helps with:

✔ Proper bone density (mass & quality)

✔ Healthy skin elasticity, thickness, hydration & appearance

✔ Nail health

✔ Joint tissue health & function involving cartilage, tendons & ligaments

✔ Muscle strength

✔ GI tract health

Because this is collagen not gelatin, it’s easy to incorporate into virtually anything and it won’t clump. I personally add to hot beverages first thing in the morning.

Results

Positive. Yes, I’m still going strong!

These 10 gut and hormone supplements on their own didn’t “heal” me. But they have helped, for sure. The sum of everything I’ve been doing has been greater than the parts.

I take the supplements, and medications.

I changed my beauty and skincare products to safer skincare.

Somedays I eat less, and some days more.

Sometimes it’s fairly AIP Paleo, and other times it’s just gluten-free, non-GMO “junk.”

But never, not for one second have I sat back and said, “Nope. Not worth it.” Because, on the whole, I feel phenomenal every single day.

I am living proof of what I preach.
