Ingredients
MegaGuard™️ provides unique and comprehensive digestive support, bowel regularity, and gastric balance.
GUTGARD® LICORICE FLAVONOIDS
Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) has a long history of use for digestive support. In Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese practice, licorice is well-known for its ability to support the gastric mucosa. One of the most commonly known compounds in licorice is a saponin called glycyrrhizin that has been used as an emulsifier and sweetener in the food industry. However, most supplements contain deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) because large amounts of glycyrrhizin have been associated with serious adverse side effects like elevated blood pressure and lowered potassium levels. Gutgard® licorice flavonoids are entirely different from DGL with respect to chemistry, composition, manufacturing, and mechanisms of action. While a classical extract of DGL does not contain any significant quantity of flavonoids, Gutgard® is standardized to contain more than 10% total flavonoids and less than 0.5% glycyrrhizin to avoid undesirable effects. More than 50 flavonoids have been identified in Gutgard® which have been shown to have beneficial activity for digestive support. Gutgard® licorice can also relieve occasional indigestion, bloating, and gas at 150mg/day.
ARTICHOKE LEAF EXTRACT
Artichoke (Cynara scolymus) leaf extract (ALE) has also been used traditionally as a digestive aid. The bitter compounds, particularly cynaropicrin, are responsible for the digestive benefits of artichoke. ALE has been shown to support bile production, healthy liver function, and balanced blood lipids. In 2003, German researchers demonstrated that 640mg/day of artichoke leaf extract significantly improved digestive issues like occasional bloating and fullness. Though the study was conducted over 6 weeks, the majority of the study group saw results in the first week.
GINGER ROOT EXTRACT (20% Gingerols)
Ginger (Zinziber officinalis) has been used as a digestive aid in Eastern practice for generations. Studies have demonstrated that ginger supports gastric emptying and can relieve occasional bouts of nausea and vomiting. Gingerols and shogaols, the active polyphenolic compounds in ginger, appear to be responsible for such effects by weakly inhibiting cholinergic M3 and serotonergic 5-HT3 receptors. Ginger extracts with a higher gingerol content (20-30% gingerols) are stronger and more effective at providing digestive support. In 2015, an Italian study of 126 patients found that the daily combination of 40 mg of ginger extracts (25-30% gingerols) with 200 mg of artichoke leaf extracts reduced the frequency of occasional digestive issues like nausea, bloating, early satiety, and abdominal discomfort 17% more effectively than just artichoke leaf extract alone.16 While most ginger extracts only contain 5% gingerols, MegaGuard™ contains 60 mg of potent ginger root extract (20% gingerols) for maximum strength.

Microbiome Labs – Practitioner-Grade Microbiome & Probiotic Support in Australia
Practitioner-grade microbiome and foundational nutrition support Microbiome Labs develops spore-based probiotics and microbiome-focused supplements available in Australia through Fairfield, designed to support gut and immune health in a more stable, predictable way than many traditional probiotic products. At Fairfield, we stock the full Microbiome Labs range. These products are widely used by practitioners and are backed by a substantial body of research, particularly in the area of spore-based probiotic technology. They are not positioned as quick fixes or “one-size-fits-all” solutions. They tend to work best when used thoughtfully and alongside solid nutritional and lifestyle foundations.How Microbiome Labs probiotics differ from typical probiotics
Why spore-based probiotics matter
Many conventional probiotics contain live bacteria that are fragile and may not survive stomach acid or reach the gut in meaningful numbers. Spore-based probiotics are designed to be more resilient, which for many people translates to:- better survival through digestion
- more consistent effects
- improved tolerance compared with some traditional probiotic blends
How to think about using Microbiome Labs products
Rather than treating all probiotics or microbiome supplements as interchangeable, we find it more helpful to think in terms of foundational support and targeted support. This helps reduce unnecessary stacking and makes it easier to choose products deliberately.🟢 Foundational Microbiome Labs products
Suitable for many people, including longer-term use Some Microbiome Labs products are commonly used to support: These products suit most people, including many who haven’t tolerated traditional probiotics well. Those with very sensitive systems may still benefit from slower introduction. Examples include:- MegaSporeBiotic® – spore-based probiotic support
- MegaPre™ – prebiotic fibre to support microbial balance
- MegaMarine™ – omega-3 fatty acids as a foundational anti-inflammatory nutrient
- MegaQuin™ D3 + K2 – foundational vitamin D and K support
🟡 Targeted Microbiome Labs products
Best used for specific needs or time-limited periods Other Microbiome Labs products are formulated for more specific situations, such as:- histamine sensitivity
- women’s health needs
- stress-related gut changes
- immune modulation
