From bloating and skin issues to back to herself: Jen's gut story

What was life like before you started taking Symprove? 

"I had such an angry stomach. I had really hard bloating, bad bowel movements, and a bubbly stomach feeling." 

How long had you been dealing with gut issues before you found us? 

"Since I was 15 I’ve had issues, so a long time. After Covid, I found my skin got worse and I was rashy, had swelling and inflammation in my body." 

What had you already tried that didn't work? 

"I remember trying gluten-free and other diets to see if it was what I was eating." 

How did your gut issues affect your day-to-day life: work, socialising, travel? 

"It all really affected my confidence with my body changing and not feeling great. I was sporty and pushed myself but that didn’t help." 

What did a "bad day" look like for you? 

"Not just a bad day, I was bedridden for 3 months with swelling and inflammation." 

How did you first hear about Symprove? 

"After Covid, I was talking to friends about my flare ups and my angry skin, and they recommended Symprove. I thought I might as well try and thank God I did, it changed my life." 

What made you choose Symprove over other options? 

"When I was exploring gut supplements, I found products that were tablets and I prefer water based." 

Do you remember your first shot? What was that morning like? 

"I don’t because it is now just so ingrained in my daily life, it is just always part of my morning and I don’t even think about it, it's habitual." 

How long was it before you felt a difference? 

"For me it was physically clear as my skin slowly but surely started to get better. My body changed a lot in month 1, in month 2 better and better, month 3 everything had changed. Nothing happens overnight, and consistency is key." 

How has it fitted into your daily routine? 

"So easy! It’s a habit now and takes 5 seconds to take my shot in the morning." 

Is there a moment you specifically remember thinking "this is working"? 

"The fact that I could leave the house. Sounds ridiculous, but your gut plays a huge part mentally, and after being bedridden for so long I got depressed and had slight anxiety about leaving the house. I think Symprove has done two things for me, my physical gut health and mentally." 

What does a normal day look like for you now, compared to before? 

"I wake up with energy. I don’t get horrible bubbly stomach pains. And my skin is clear!" 

Has anything changed for you outside of your gut: energy, mood, sleep, skin? 

"I'm more energised, my mood has improved and my skin as I mentioned earlier. All round everything." 

What would you want someone just starting their journey to know? 

"To keep consistent and that after about month of taking Symprove, it becomes a habit you don’t have to think about it." 

What's the one thing you'd tell your past self? 

"It does get so much better!" 

What's your go-to Symprove routine: time of day, flavour, ritual around it? 

"First thing in the morning I let the dog out, take my Mango and Passion Fruit bottle out the fridge and pour my 70ml shot. Then in my 10-minute wait, I'll make my avocado on toast for breakfast." 

Finish the sentence: "Since starting Symprove, I've finally been able to…" 

"Feel like Jen again." 

Thank you so much, Jen for sharing your story.
