Every holiday season amplifies gut-brain stress and leaves consumers looking for relief, which is why 2026 is the perfect time to launch products that support mood, sleep, energy, and gut health. See how NutriScience’s research-backed ingredients can help with your next formulation.
ButyraGen® – Newly Published ~600 participant Clinical study showing reduction in belly pain and support for overall GI!
Butyragen supports the gut-brain axis by being a direct butyrate generator, a key short-chain fatty acid that strengthens intestinal barrier integrity and modulates communication between the gut and brain. This helps reduce inflammation and belly pain that can disrupt cognitive and emotional balance, while also supporting the upper and lower GI. Beyond its gut-brain role, Butyragen supports healthy digestion, metabolic efficiency, and immune system function for overall wellness.
Suntheanine® – the original L-theanine to market with over 200+ studies done specifically on Suntheanine material!
Suntheanine promotes a calm and focused mental state through the gut-brain axis by helping regulate the body’s stress response, which can otherwise disrupt digestive health. It supports alpha brainwave activity to enhance relaxation, focus, and clarity without the mid-day crash. In addition to gut-brain support, Suntheanine is clinically shown to promote better sleep quality and balanced mood under stress.
SalidroPure® – 98.5% salidroside as a fermented sustainably sourced alternative to endangered rhodiola!
Salidropure contributes to a balanced gut-brain axis by protecting the intestinal lining and reducing oxidative stress, both of which influence how the gut communicates with the brain. It supports digestive comfort and resilience during stress, helping maintain calm and stability in both mind and body. Beyond this connection, Salidropure provides antioxidant and adaptogenic benefits that enhance cellular energy and immune support.
PepZinGI® – Zinc L-Carnosine complex that enhances gut barrier function, reduces leaky gut, gastric ulcers, and inflammation & IBS symptoms!
PepZinGI strengthens the gut-brain axis by supporting mucosal barrier integrity and soothing the gastrointestinal lining, reducing the discomfort and inflammation that can impact mental clarity and mood. It enhances nutrient absorption and digestive efficiency, which are critical for maintaining balanced gut-brain signaling. Additional benefits include promoting gastric repair, immune defense, and overall digestive wellness.
