Gut Health
If you have any questions, I'm here to help!
Having a healthy gut is an important part of living a healthy life. A healthy gastrointestinal tract is better able to break down food and absorb critical nutrients. An upset or knotted stomach can halt all your activities. When your gut is healthy it supports the health of your entire body, from your immune function to your emotions.

dōTERRA Products for Digestive Support
Lifelong Vitality
The best way to a healthy gut is to evaluate your nutritional habits. You can start by cutting out substances likely to irritate your intestinal lining, such as caffeine, alcohol, or refined sugars. Additionally, it can be beneficial to add in restorative substances like healthy fats, probiotics, and amino acids. Try using the doTERRA Lifelong Vitality Pack to supplement your intake of omegas, antioxidants, and vitamins and minerals.*
PB Restore ProBiome Complex
Your microbiome functions like an invisible organ. It’s a vast and diverse ecosystem of microbes that are essential to wellness. Key to microbiome function is proper microbial diversity and balance, with a high ratio of good bacteria to bad. The body’s natural aging process can disrupt your microbiome, along with an unbalanced diet, lack of exercise, poor sleep schedule, and stressful lifestyle. Augmenting a wellness lifestyle with supplementation can help restore microbiome health.
doTERRA PB Restore ProBiome Complex is a unique formulation of 30 pre-, pro-, and postbiotics and bacteriophages that help restore microbial diversity and balance for optimal microbiome health and overall wellness.* The 18 billion colony-forming units (CFUs) of probiotics, or good bacteria, consist of 24 active cultures—an unparalleled variety of carefully selected strains from 22 different species—for exceptional microbial diversity.* The prebiotic fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and bacteriophages help achieve and maintain microbial balance by encouraging the growth of good bacteria and selectively attacking the bad.* The postbiotic—made up of bioactive compounds produced from healthy bacteria—provides additional health benefits.*
The doTERRA PB Restore dual-chamber, time-released delivery system supports the body throughout the day.* It aids digestive comfort, micronutrient synthesis, gut barrier integrity, and healthy metabolism.* Metabolites produced by the bacterial strains in doTERRA PB Restore have been shown to support skin health, the respiratory and immune systems, and a healthy inflammatory response.* Early research on certain ingredients—including L. Rhamnosus CRL 1505, the postbiotic in doTERRA PB Restore—indicates they may also help with brain, cardiovascular, urological, and metabolite function, as well as a healthy DNA response to oxidative stress.*
PB Assist PreBiome Gut Complex
The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is responsible for digesting and absorbing nutrients and eliminating bodily waste from the body. A wide variety of microbes are needed to process food and produce important chemicals that assist the immune system and other bodily functions. A balanced diet is key to building a healthy gut microbiome that’s resilient and adapts quickly to circumstances. Additional support for the gut microbiome can come from supplementation.
Formulated for the entire family and gluten-free, PB Assist+ ProBiome Gut Complex provides a unique blend of diverse genus, species, and strains of pre- and probiotics. This great-tasting strawberry melon–flavored powder should be taken daily. PB Assist+ combines 13 probiotic strains and one prebiotic fiber—fructooligosaccharides (FOS)—for healthy gut colonization.*
The live cultures in PB Assist+ are microencapsulated, meaning they have a protective covering that ensures they survive the harsh, acidic stomach environment so they can reach the gut alive. PB Assist+ delivers seven billion AFUs† (live cells) in active probiotic cultures, as well as soluble prebiotic FOS to encourage friendly bacterial growth, providing important microbiome support.*
AFU stands for active fluorescent units. This unit of measure comes from a modern, sophisticated flow cytometry test method for the precise enumeration of live cells.
DigestZen Softgels
DigestZen® Softgels are a convenient and easy way to obtain the benefits of the proprietary DigestZen essential oil blend. Each vegetarian tapioca softgel contains 120 mg of DigestZen, the oil blend you know and trust for overall digestive health.† DigestZen contains a unique combination of Peppermint, Coriander, Ginger, Caraway, Cardamom, Fennel, and Anise to aid in digestion and ease mild or occasional stomach discomfort in a soothing, natural way— all in a vegetarian softgel that dissolves easily.† DigestZen Softgels are perfect for on-the-go or for those wanting an easy way to consume DigestZen essential oil blend.
Terrazyme
doTERRA TerraZyme Digestive Enzyme Complex is a proprietary blend of active whole-food enzymes and supporting cofactors that are often deficient in cooked, processed, and preservative-laden foods. These powerful digestive enzymes support the body’s constant production of enzymes that are critical for healthy biochemical functions, including efficient digestion of food nutrients and cellular metabolism of nutrients into energy.* doTERRA TerraZyme includes a variety of whole-food enzymes that help with digesting proteins, fats, complex carbohydrates, sugars, and fiber.
doTERRA TerraZyme is safe and effective and can be taken with every meal. It includes the doTERRA tummy tamer blend of peppermint, ginger, and caraway seed extracts to promote gastrointestinal comfort. The tummy tamer blend is especially helpful for those needing targeted digestive health, such as with protein, fat, and carbohydrate intolerances (like lactose).*
Enzymes are essential proteins that catalyze cellular functions and chemical reactions in the body, crucial for growth, healing, and various bodily processes. They can be endogenous (produced within the body) or exogenous (from external sources like raw foods). The body's ability to produce enzymes is constrained by raw material availability and production capacity. Insufficient intake of food enzymes can divert resources towards producing digestive enzymes, potentially leading to deficiencies in critical metabolic enzymes like SOD, crucial for cell protection and energy production. Cooking and processing of foods can diminish enzyme content. Incorporating more raw foods or using whole-food enzyme supplements can help mitigate enzyme deficiencies.
GX Assist
GX Assist is a combination of CPTG Certified Pure Tested GradeTM essential oils and caprylic acid to help support a healthy digestive tract by creating an unfriendly environment for potential threats that can disrupt digestive immunities and cause digestive upset.* GX Assist is formulated to be used for 10 days as a preparatory cleansing step before using PB Assist®+ Probiotic Defense Formula.*
Having a healthy digestive system affects all facets of the body. When the digestive system is not functioning at its best, there can be a negative effect on every other function of the body. The combination of very powerful essential oils and caprylic acid helps cleanse the digestive system, which helps all other functions of the body perform at their maximum potential.*
