Explained in plain English

Are supplements worth it?

Many supplements claim to boost gut health or help you hit specific targets, like the '30 plants' idea. However, as the story warns, these can be expensive and often lack strong scientific proof of their benefits. Experts generally agree that eating a varied diet is a more effective and natural way to support your gut.
