Ingredients
Green Banana
Green banana is rich in resistant starch (type 2) and dietary fibre, which resist digestion in the small intestine and act as prebiotic substrates for beneficial gut bacteria.
Clinical trials have shown that green banana supplementation can:
- Improve bowel regularity and stool consistency in both children and adults with constipation
- Enrich gut microbiota diversity, increasing levels of Bifidobacterium and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii
- Increase production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), including butyrate, which supports gut barrier function and local anti-inflammatory activity
- Support metabolic health markers including body weight, waist circumference, and insulin sensitivity in people with metabolic syndrome
- Costa et al., 2019: 24-week RCT found green banana biomass improved HbA1c, insulin sensitivity, and body composition in adults with type 2 diabetes
- Leite et al., 2019: Green banana biomass improved constipation symptoms in children
- Navia et al., 2024: Green banana powder increased beneficial gut bacteria and SCFA production in healthy adults
- Rabbani et al., 2001: Cooked green banana reduced duration of persistent diarrhoea in children
Tropical Papaya
Ripe tropical papaya is a rich source of soluble fibre, vitamin C, carotenoids (beta-carotene, lycopene), and papain – a natural enzyme that supports the breakdown of proteins.
Clinical trials and traditional use support the following benefits:
- Help relieve bloating, constipation, and digestive discomfort
- Support healthy enzyme activity in the gut
- Contribute to immune system function through natural vitamin C and A precursors
- Provide antioxidant protection against free radical damage
- Muss et al., 2013: RCT found that papaya fruit concentrate reduced bloating and constipation in adults with functional GI symptoms
- Ahmad et al., 2018: Papaya extract significantly improved dyspeptic symptoms over 6 weeks
- Weiser et al., 2018: Papaya and oat formulation reduced gastritis-related stomach pain
- Marotta et al., 2004: Fermented papaya reduced oxidative stress markers in atrophic gastritis patients
- Somanah et al., 2012: Fermented papaya reduced C-reactive protein and improved lipid profiles in patients with diabetes
