(BPT) - If you've ever thought about gut support, you're not alone. In fact, nearly 75% of U.S. adults experience digestive discomfort at least once a month, and approximately 40% aren't comfortable doing day-to-day activities because of gut health issues. If this sounds familiar, the first thing you should do is consult with your health care provider. Additionally, you may want to consider resetting your health regimen this season, with a focus on supporting your digestive well-being.
To help you get started, Nature Made®, the No. 1 Pharmacist Recommended vitamin and supplement brand* with over 50 years of expertise in delivering high-quality products with ingredients backed by science, is offering gut wellness tips to guide your seasonal revamp.
