Digestive and Gut Supplements: Probiotics, Enzymes and Fibre in Portugal

Looking for digestive and gut supplements in Portugal? This collection brings together probiotics, digestive enzymes, fibre, L-glutamine and plant extracts from brands such as NOW Foods, Swanson, Applied Nutrition and BioTechUSA. Food supplements are no substitute for a varied, balanced diet rich in vegetables, fruit, pulses and wholegrains, or for good hydration.

Probiotics: formulas with Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains, identified by the number of CFU (colony-forming units) per serving. When comparing products, check the strains, the CFU count guaranteed until the end of shelf life and the storage conditions. See the full range in probiotics and enzymes.

Digestive enzymes: complexes with proteases, amylases and lipases, the enzymes that act on proteins, carbohydrates and fats. Calcium contributes to the normal function of digestive enzymes; you will find calcium sources in our minerals section.

Fibre and glucomannan: fibre powder blends and glucomannan (konjac fibre) are a practical way to top up your daily fibre intake. Always take them with enough water, as stated on the label.

L-glutamine and plant extracts: L-glutamine is an amino acid available as powder and capsules (see amino acids). We also stock fenugreek, aloe vera and other plant extracts in herbal supplements, described factually in terms of composition and dose.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between probiotics and prebiotics? Probiotics are live microorganisms; prebiotics are dietary fibres, such as inulin, found in some products.

How much fibre should I eat per day? For adults, EFSA considers an intake of 25 g of fibre per day adequate, obtained mainly from food. Fibre supplements help to top up, not replace, those sources.

Can I take digestive supplements with medication? Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication. At Nutri9 you can buy online with delivery across Portugal or visit our physical shop in Malveira.
