Ginger-Beet Postbiotic
Gaia Herbs , extracted from fermented organic ginger and beetroot sauerkraut juice, provides welcome support for the gut microbiome and a healthy heart. Offering all the goodness of a traditionally fermented sauerkraut in a convenient capsule format, it’s ideal for anyone wanting to support optimal digestive health but are not a fan of the taste of fermented foods!
Ginger’s warming action stimulates digestive enzymes, supporting the digestive process and helping dispel excess gas, bloating, discomfort and queasiness. Ginger also supports healthy circulation of blood flow around the body. Beets are a rich source of vitamins and minerals and are noted for supporting blood flow, cardiovascular function as well as digestion. The naturally occurring nitrates in beets contribute to a healthy heart by supporting balanced blood pressure.

Postbiotics are beneficial substances naturally created by friendly bacteria (probiotics) following the consumption of undigested dietary fibres (prebiotics) like grains, legumes and vegetables. They are derived from probiotic or prebiotic-rich foods, such as cultured foods and foods rich in fibre, or as the result of probiotic supplementation. The process of breaking down fibres is one of fermentation which produces gases as well as beneficial ‘postbiotic’ compounds that contribute positive effects to human health.
There are many types of postbiotic substances such as:
- short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) - like butyrate that supports a healthy gut lining,
- vitamins and amino acids – like vitamin K, B vitamins and other metabolites that play a role in supporting intestinal, immune and various gut-organ/system axis functions,
- enzymes – that produce beneficial antioxidant compounds such as glutathione
- bacterial cell wall fragments – including bacterial lipoteichoic acid (LTA) that supports immune health, and
- bacterial lysates – derived from the mechanical or chemical degradation of bacteria found in the environment which may support the gut-lung axis.
Gaia Herbs postbiotic ferment extracts provide postbiotics in the form of inactivated bacterial cells and their metabolites that support a healthy immune response and maintain a healthy balanced microbiome.How does it work?
Gaia Herbs offers practical advantages over DIY home ferments which must be consumed within a short period and can be associated with unhealthy microbial colonisation that could compromise health. These advantages include a longer shelf-life, increased stability with a quality-controlled end-product, no need for refrigeration and consistent levels of beneficial compounds in every serve.
Developed based on traditional methods mixed with modern science, Gaia Herbs superfood ferment is made using all organic beetroot, green cabbage, onions, ginger, sea salt, and wild-type lactic acid bacteria from spontaneous fermentation. The formulation does not contain live bacteria so it offers a shelf-stable, longer-shelf life option that doesn’t require refrigeration. Every 2 capsule serve delivers the equivalent of two tablespoons of traditionally fermented sauerkraut.Ingredients
