Supplement that costs pennies per day leaves tummy 'less bloated' and old trousers fit

Supplement that costs pennies per day leaves tummy 'less bloated' and old trousers fit

In recent years, gut health has become somewhat of a buzzword for those seeking to enhance their overall wellbeing. Gut health influences a broad range of bodily functions and overall well-being, including digestion, immune function and mental health, but managing it can be challenging through diet alone and that's where complements come in.
One product aiming to help users combat bloating, irregular bowel movements and fatigue is Gut Works, a daily supplement by Dr Vegan that boasts a high-strength formula. And it costs less than 50p per day.
The low cost is due to the current offer where shoppers can save 50% off their first order with the brand using a special code. Typically priced at £28.99, using the code GUT50 at the checkout reduces the price to £14.50, which equates to 48p a day.
The code is only available to new customers, and while it can't be used in conjunction with other discounts, it does take a substantial amount off the RRP. The award-winning supplement combines Psyllium Husk with six scientifically studied strains of live cultures, also known as 'probiotics', and prebiotics.
With 50 billion CFU (colony forming units) packed into a single daily capsule, the supplement provides a significant bacterial boost to the digestive system. A healthy gut and bowels is crucial for daily comfort and tackling symptoms of IBS including bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, excessive wind and gas, fatigue, reflux, poor sleep, and more.
Gut Works, in a small, daily delayed-release capsule, is designed to rebalance and replenish the gut microbiome with active bacteria, reports the Mirror.
Other supplement brands offer varying formulations and bacterial strains, some focusing more on specific symptoms, and may come with a higher price tag. For some individuals, swallowing capsules isn't appealing, hence many celebrities like Frankie Bridge and Georgia Toffolo are opting for Symprove, a gut health supplement in liquid form.
Priced at £22.99 for 500ml, it's available in a variety of flavours such as Pineapple or Strawberry and Raspberry.
Alternatively, LookFantastic offers MyProtein's Gut Gummies, now discounted by 48%, down to £16.99. These chewable tablets provide a handy way to support digestive health, boasting one billion live cultures and 40mg of vitamin C.
Regarding Dr Vegan's Gut Works, customer feedback has been largely positive, with a 4.3-star rating based on over 300 reviews. Users have reported a range of benefits, from reduced IBS symptoms and bloating to weight loss and enhanced mood.
One customer, Joanne, shared: "IBS symptoms and life changed forever. I was advised by my gastroenterologist to look at this kind of product and he said if I took it every day without fail my symptoms would improve. I saw this product and decided to give it a go.
"He was right! I could not visit friends for dinner, had trouble on holiday and my social life was controlled by my stomach... not any more. Life changing."
Conal, added: "Excellent product. My stomach feels less bloated and with a change of eating habits I have started to lose weight. I will continue to take Gut Works from now on."
And he's not the only one to have lost weight, with Sheila commenting: "I'm very impressed. My bloating has stopped/disappeared, and I've lost 4lb.
"Gut works is quite simply magic," wrote another. "I had been suffering with IBS and tummy issues for years. Gut Works has really changed my life.
"I didn't think anything could help me, but Gut Works has. Thank you Dr Vegan." However, some customers noted that the product didn't work for them. It's crucial to remember that gut health is individual, and what works wonders for one person may have limited effects on another.
One stated: "Didn't work for me. Easy tablet to swallow though and I liked that it was once a day. And, I've just received a lovely note from the company and they have refunded me."
Another added: "Used this for 30 days. I'm not sure I noticed much change in my digestion or bloating. I was disappointed."
But generally customers have been impressed. Another five star review stated: "Since taking gut works my tummy is so much better. Flatter and my trousers fit. I really haven't changed my diet, so it's all down to gut works." Customers can try the Gut Work s supplements here and use the code GUT50 for 50% off their first order with Dr Vegan.

'I am a surgeon in Gaza – food aid points are designed to be death traps'

Five Gaza experts including a senior British medic and community leaders leaders speak out after Israeli forces killed 116 aid seekers at food points in the deadliest day for civilian deaths Siobhan McNally is a Senior Features Writer for the Mirror and Sunday Mirror – in print and online. Previously she was a columnist and edited the Community Column at the Mirror. Now back in London after 25 years in Winchester – complete with travelling circus of two cats, one ancient pug and a grumpy teenager – Siobhan specialises in general interest national stories, nostalgia, history and music. Also has a passion for quirky, fun foodie ideas and a sudden age-related interest in gardening. Get in touch with ideas and stories to Professor Nick Maynard, consultant gastrointestinal surgeon at Oxford University Hospital ‌ I've been operating on trauma injuries in Nasser Hospital, Khan Younis, for the last four weeks. My health care colleagues from Gaza have described the aid points as death traps designed to create chaos and incite rioting. ‌ This is my third trip to Gaza since October 7 – and although many things are similar in terms of air strikes, what is different is the rise in the number of shootings at the food distribution points. We're several km away from the aid sites – we're the nearest hospital and all the people come to us. ‌ Food is kept in a compound which is locked, and they wait until hundreds of aid seekers have collected and then open up a very narrow gate, and then there's just complete chaos and everyone fighting for food. An anaesthetist colleague of mine from Gaza rushed down to the food site in between operations to get food for his family, came back covered in cuts and bruises because of the rioting. All of our surgeons have seen a pattern of injuries among predominantly – but not exclusively – young teenage males who are sent by their starving families to get food. ‌ They seem to be targeting different body parts on different days. Some days they come in with gunshot wounds to the head or the neck, the next day the chest, the next, the abdomen. Nine days ago we saw four small, four young teenagers who had all been shot in the testicles at the same time. I have seen all abdominal and chest injuries – that's what I operate on – and terrible injuries to the pancreas, duodenum, bowel, you name it. So the pattern is a very clear pattern of targeting and it's almost like they're playing a game. ‌ I'm getting identical descriptions from people of Israeli soldiers just shooting indiscriminately at people, I've been told they're using artificial intelligence, and remotely controlled hovering quadcopters with four rotors and cameras and guns attached. A friend of mine who's a theatre nurse at Nasser Hospital was shot last year when a quadcopter came into the operating theatre and shot him in the chest. As well as the teenage boys, I've seen women in tents near the food distribution centre and they describe quadcopters firing indiscriminately at all the tents. One woman was three months pregnant and another was breastfeeding her three-month-old baby at the time. ‌ It is inconceivable to me that these are collateral damage. This is deliberate targeting and what all of us have witnessed. This is not a famine. It is mass extermination Omar Abdel-Mannan, founder of Health Workers 4 Palestine ‌ As we speak, Gaza is being deliberately starved. Today, ambulances across the Strip turned on their sirens in unison – a collective cry for help from a population pushed to the brink. The majority of the territory is now classified as Category 5: the most severe level of food insecurity. Even if aid were allowed in today, many would still die. This is not a famine. It is mass extermination. What's happening in Gaza is not just enabled by Israel – it is facilitated by its allies. And the UK is complicit. It continues to supply Israel with components for F-35 fighter jets – the very aircraft used to flatten homes, hospitals, and refugee camps. British-made parts are helping to slaughter civilians. This is not neutrality; it's active participation. History will judge this moment. And those in power – including Keir Starmer – will not be absolved. They will be remembered as enablers of war crimes. ‌ Inside Gaza, doctors are being assassinated, detained, tortured – over 1,500 killed to date and over 400 detained illegally. This is a systematic erasure of a healthcare system – the murder of those who save lives. Meanwhile, in the UK, medics who speak out face career-threatening smear campaigns and regulatory complaints driven by pro-Israel lobby groups. NHS England has already confirmed that antisemitism is covered under the Equality Act, yet the Health Secretary is now interfering with the independence of the regulator to appease political allies. We must end this complicity. We must fight for a future where Palestinian health workers – those who have risked everything – are not only protected, but empowered to lead the rebuilding of their shattered health system. That means Palestinian-led healthcare. That means sovereignty, dignity, and justice. • Voices of Solidarity, which took place on Saturday 19 July, was the UK's largest cultural fundraiser for Palestine, raising money for the Health Workers 4 Palestine (HW4P) Solidarity Fund. Proceeds go towards life-saving healthcare on the ground and supporting health workers under siege – ‌ The waste of human lives is sickening Laura Janner-Klausner, former senior rabbi to Reform Judaism and rabbi of Bromley Reform Synagogue We need world leaders to step in and help us get out of this sickening situation. The Israeli government, Hamas, Islamic Jihad – who are also holding hostages – should be applying pressure to stop immediately what they are doing, to ensure there is safe and sufficient humanitarian aid, including food and medicine, getting directly to the Gazans who desperately need it. ‌ Release all the hostages, stop the attacks – on both sides. That's for the short term. In the medium term, we need an honourable, quick divorce so there is an end of war, not just a shaky ceasefire. And in the long term, we need to live together: two peoples. Separation has not helped us in the past, and we need responsible adults back in the room who can set aside their hatred for each other and work together to stop the senseless violence. The vast majority of British Jews are absolutely distraught about what is happening in Gaza. The waste of human lives is sickening. An Israeli child and a Palestinian child are the same. Sick and injured people need full medical care wherever they live. Food is food, and people are starving. Both sides are dehumanising each other, but they need to find a way to live together. ‌ International community has failed to deliver Tufail Hussain, director of Islamic Relief UK Today's latest atrocities in Gaza are beyond cruel. Desperate, starving people should never be targeted, yet the Israeli military continues to do so. It is heartbreaking to see people who want to feed themselves and their families being heartlessly murdered. This is a man-made catastrophe that the international community could have put a stop to by now. This latest barbarity will once again be condemned, but without political action to demand a ceasefire, lift the siege of Gaza and force Israel to let international aid in, then these condemnations are hollow. For almost two years, aid agencies and human rights groups have been demanding a ceasefire, which the international community has failed to deliver. ‌ They must now finally take action to prevent the future horrors that will be inflicted upon the Palestinian people. They are kettling desperate, starving people Brian Brivtai, CEO of the Britain Palestine Project ‌ The whole Israeli campaign in Gaza is entirely disproportionate to any kind of self defence. The purposeful targeting of civilians, and the starvation of a population, are crimes against humanity. Recent developments are incredibly disturbing. First, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid operation, which concentrates people in smaller and smaller areas, has basically created shooting galleries. They are kettling people who are desperate and starving, who see food and try and get it, and who then are being shot dead. But Israel's plan for a 'humanitarian city' is the most terrifying development of all. If you concentrate 2 million people in a single, tiny location, and deny them the means to life because you've destroyed their hospitals and reduced the amount of food you're giving them, then you are intentionally committing genocidal acts. ‌ Israel wants to reduce the Palestinian part of Gaza to an absolutely minimum geographical area, and they are going to flatten the rest of it, then annex it. We laughed at Trump's suggestion of the Gaza Riviera, but I think that's what we are going to see happen. All the British government needs to do is obey international law, not more than that. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has deemed it plausible that Israel is creating a plausible case for genocide, and it's our responsibility under that amendment to prevent it. Not to wait until Israel has killed 200,000, 300,000 Palestinians, but to act to prevent it now.

Amazon's better than Boots deal cuts 'fast absorbing' Olay night cream by 55%

One shopper who has used it for years says it 'keeps fine lines from developing into wrinkles' When it comes to your nightly skincare routine, nobody wants to spend ages prepping before bed. So you're after something that's streamlined, effective, and genuinely beneficial. Products that offer dual benefits are thus a blessing when it's late, and all you want is to hit the sack. That's why numerous customers have been singing praises for the Olay Retinol 24 MAX Night Cream. It merges the anti-ageing and skin renewal properties of a serum with the hydration and skin-smoothing effects of a moisturiser. Though typically priced at £44, Amazon has currently included it in a limited-time offer, slashing the price by 55 per cent to £19.98, saving you over £24. This deal also competes with Boots, where the same cream is currently discounted from £43.99 to £21.99, making it £2 pricier – plus, Amazon Prime members enjoy the added perk of free next-day delivery. The Olay Retinol 24 MAX Night Cream enhances your skin's moisture levels with 50 per cent more hydrating ingredients and is claimed to transform the softness and smoothness of your skin after just one night's use. It also aids in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time. The cosmetic contains retinyl propionate, which penetrates deep into your skin's layers to smooth out texture, along with vitamin E and 50 per cent more glycerin for a soft, smooth look, reports the Mirror. For alternative choices, Paula's Choice Anti-Ageing Intensive Repair Moisturiser is presently discounted from £39 to £33.15. Featuring an exceptionally rich formula containing 0.2 per cent retinol, it strengthens the skin's protective barrier whilst diminishing fine lines, offering a mild introduction to retinol skincare. In addition, Medik8's Intelligent Retinol Smoothing Night Cream receives excellent reviews, boasting gradual-release 0.2% retinol that's suitable for newcomers to retinol. Though it commands a higher price point at £60 for a 50ml pot compared to alternative products. Meanwhile, the Olay Retinol 24 MAX Night Cream provides an excellent gateway for incorporating retinol into evening skincare regimens without risking harm to your skin's protective barrier. Amazon customers have embraced this moisturiser enthusiastically, with many reporting years of successful usage. One shopper commented: "Love this, I've been using it for years. It keeps skin from developing fine lines into wrinkles." A second user concurred: "This is an excellent cream. The face feels soft after I put it on at night. It's also fast absorbing, which ensures that there is no residue on my pillow when sleeping." A third reviewer noted: "One of the best night creams for combined skin." Beauty deal of the week YSL Black Opium remains an iconic perfume - and we know where to bag the newest edition for its cheapest price. The YSL BLack Opium Le Parfum offers a more vanilla-heavy fragrance that has been hailed as "intoxicating" in reviews, with a 50ml now half-price at Boots after being dropped from £115 to £57.50. Massive saving aside, it's the cheapest it can be bought for at the moment, as rival retailers Superdrug, Lookfantastic and The Perfume Shop still stock it at full-price. This interpretation of the iconic perfume was only launched in 2022, with its original floral gourmand fragrance still offering its famed notes that include pear accord, green mandarin, orange flower petals, jasmine sambac and cinnamon. However, the iconic coffee accord has been twisted with four different, yet still complimentary, notes of vanilla, which is said to be its most important ingredient, to create an "unexpected smoothness, with uncompromising intensity." Meanwhile, the unique glossy bottle that has been crafted from a precious black stone, with its dazzling glitter emblem at the heart, eludes to the luxuriousness of the fragrance contained within. As for the YSL Black Opium Le Parfum, Boots shoppers wanting to take advantage of the half-price discount will be glad to hear it has amassed a 4.7 rating from thousands of customers who say it "lasts all day" and "literally turns heads" when it is worn. One five-star review read: "I love the fragrance. I used a lot the first time, not realising how intense it was. It lasts all day and continues to smell great. I literally turn heads when I wear it." Don't miss Boots' half-price discount on the YSL Black Opium Le Parfum (50ml) that is now £57.50, down from £115. However, some customers found it underwhelming, with one stating: "Not really that impressed, find no difference and it leaves my skin a bit dry." Another customer shared similar sentiments: "Seems a good cream but I'm not sure it's great for a more mature skin. It absorbs well but, for me, not very moisturising." Others were enamoured with the product, however. One five-star reviewer commented: "Wonderful night cream. Feels silky and easily and quickly absorbed into skin. Helps to keep my skin hydrated. Good price." Another satisfied customer remarked: "Lovely. Moisturising with a silky feel. My skin looks fresh and clear."
