Maximizing nutrient
bio-availability
Most supplements measure success by how much is in the gummy. We measure it by how much reaches your bloodstream.
Our research-backed fermentation process breaks down 'anti-nutrients' - the natural barriers in plants that normally block mineral uptake - ensuring that your body gets the full benefit of every ingredient.

The stunning impact of fermented food
A groundbreaking study published in Cell unveiled remarkable outcomes associated with a diet, rich in fermented foods:
• Significant and consistent rise in overall microbial diversity among all participants
• Substantial decrease in the activation of immune cells linked to inflammatory diseases
• Significant reduction in 19 inflammatory blood markers
• Fibre without ferments found not to significantly improve diversity.
"A diet rich in fermented foods leads to a significant and consistent rise in overall microbial diversity and a substantial decrease in inflammatory blood markers."

The "Stress-Gut" Loop
Most people treat stress in the head and gut issues in the stomach.
At Glowbears, we treat them as one. A high-stress lifestyle triggers gut issues, and an undiverse biome only creates more stress. It is a cycle that can hold you back.
We break that loop by pairing our fermented nutrients with a synergistic complex of functional mushrooms and botanical roots, which helps in reducing stress and in turn helps your gut.
