The post Welcome to the HUM Health Club: Why We are Different appeared first on HUM Nutrition Blog.
]]>If you’ve ever flipped a bottle around to actually check what’s inside—or wondered why some brands rely more on marketing fluff than meaningful results—you’ve found your people. At HUM, we think wellness should be as intelligent as it is inspiring, which is why more than 500,000 humans (and counting) have joined our community. They’re not just here for the pretty packaging; they stay because the results are real—powered by clean, clinically studied ingredients, smarter standards, and a genuine commitment to the planet.
Welcome to the HUM Difference. This is where curiosity meets credibility, wellness gets a glow-up, and your standards aren’t just met—they’re celebrated.
If Your Standards Are High, You’re In the Right Place
From the very beginning, HUM set out to raise the bar on what a supplement could—and should—be. Every single product is:
- Built on gold-standard clinical research
- Certified Clean by the Clean Label Project
- Held to strict European standards (way tougher than U.S. regulations)
- Formulated by Registered Dietitian Nutritionists
- Crafted with planet-kind practices at every step
Because let’s be honest: your goals are high, so your supplements should be, too.
Standards So High, They’re Gold
Not all “clinicals” are created equal. While other brands lean on vague claims or cherry-picked studies, we go all-in with the industry’s toughest benchmarks. Every formula is backed by:
- Double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials → proof your results are real, not placebo.
- Clinical-strength ingredients → the exact doses and forms used in published studies.
- Full product testing → not just the ingredients in isolation, but the formula you’ll actually take.
- Peer-reviewed, published research → verified by independent experts for maximum credibility.
This isn’t marketing spin. This is measurable, trustworthy science you can feel confident about.
Clean Without Compromise
“Clean” isn’t just a trend here—it’s our rulebook. If in doubt, we keep it out. HUM was one of the first brands to ban titanium dioxide, and we always follow European guidelines (which ban 1,300+ ingredients vs. only 13 in the U.S.).
Every ingredient we use is:
- Sourced from the cleanest possible origins
- Tested for purity, dosage, and safety
- Verified for compliance with California’s Prop 65
- Randomly audited by the Clean Label Project (yep, they keep us honest)
From sourcing to the final bottle, every step is designed for purity you can trust—no shortcuts, no compromises.
Over 33 Million Bottles Saved (and Counting)
Wellness should never come at the planet’s expense. That’s why every HUM bottle is made with 100% post-consumer recycled plastic—plus labels and adhesives that keep the whole thing recyclable.
Here’s the impact: each purchase prevents 2–4 plastic water bottles from entering our oceans. To date, HUM has saved over 33 million bottles and counting. Small choices add up to big change, and together, we’re making it happen.
The HUM Difference
Science. Clean. Planet-positive. That’s our standard.
When you choose HUM, you’re not just picking a supplement—you’re choosing:
- Results you can trust
- Ingredients you can feel good about
- A community that’s raising the bar for wellness together
Welcome to a smarter way to feel your best.

]]>7 Fall Foods for Healthier Skin, Nails, and Hair
Their key nutrients help combat beauty concerns like brittleness and dullness.
There’s no denying that a healthy, well-rounded diet helps keep every part of your body, well, healthy—and that includes your skin, hair, and nails. The opposite is also true. “Lacking key nutrients like protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals can leave them looking dull, brittle, or weak,” says Roxana Ehsani, RD, CSSD, a Florida-based sports dietitian.
If you think your dietary habits are to blame for the poor health of your skin, hair, and nails, your doctor can order a blood test to check for nutrient deficiencies to confirm your suspicion, says Ehsani. Knowledge is power, and the good news is that once you know what you may need more of, you can fill in the gaps through diet or even supplements, if your doctor feels that could be helpful.
The fall harvest provides some particularly great fruits and vegetables to support healthy skin, hair, and nails. Here are some of Ehsani’s go-tos, plus some easy, healthy meals that feature them.
Sweet Potato
The sweet potato’s vibrant orange hue mimics the color of fall leaves, serving as a reminder that this root vegetable is best enjoyed in autumn. While the root veggie is generally regarded as a nice source of fiber, it also packs benefits for skin, hair, and nails thanks to its beta-carotene and B vitamins.
“Beta-carotene supports skin repair and protects the skin from UV damage. Although you should still use SPF when you go outside, you can think of it like internal sunscreen,” Ehsani says. “As for the B vitamins, they play a role in the production of keratin, a protein that is the building block for hair and nails. Getting enough of the nutrient is essential in keeping them healthy.”
How to enjoy it: For an easy, healthy meal, cube a sweet potato, and place it on a baking pan with some halved Brussels sprouts and chickpeas. Top the mixture with olive oil, a bit of maple syrup, and your favorite spices. Bake for 45 minutes at 374°F and voila! You’ve got a simple, veggie-centric meal that’s easy to prep in bulk throughout the fall.
Supplement alternative: HUM Hair Strong contains biotin and B12 to support fuller, stronger hair.
Pumpkin
Despite technically being classified as a winter squash, pumpkins are practically synonymous with the fall season. Could you even imagine Halloween or Thanksgiving without them? Think beyond the jack-o-lantern, and make use of their constant presence at farmers’ markets and grocery stores by adding them to your meals throughout the fall season.
According to Ehsani, pumpkins are rich in beta-carotene, an antioxidant that the body converts to vitamin A. “A diet rich in Vitamin A speeds up the shedding of old skin cells, stimulates the growth of new cells, and stimulates collagen production, which can lead to healthier, more radiant skin,” she explains.
How to enjoy it: Pumpkin pie is a classic treat, but if you want to reap the most benefits, consider leaning into savory preparations like roasting that put the squash front and center. A simple way to try it: Cube and season your pumpkin with olive oil, salt, garlic, and sage, then spread it out on a cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes at 425°F. Enjoy it warm, paired with your favorite green veggie and some baked chicken, or add it to salads and power bowls after it cools in place of alternative starches like croutons, sweet potatoes, or rice.
Supplement alternative: HUM Arctic Repair, which contains Omega 3-6-9 fatty acids, along with Vitamin A. Together, they promote skin density and elasticity, and help smooth fine lines and wrinkles.
Kale
Kale is one of the few so-called “superfood” veggies considered in season throughout fall, winter, and spring, which is just one of the reasons it seems to be everywhere year-round. Its nutritional profile only adds to its popularity. One cup of raw kale has just seven calories and is loaded with vitamins A and C, the latter of which is a heavy hitter when it comes to supporting immunity and hair health. Vitamin C is also essential for collagen production, which supports skin, hair, and nail health, Ehsani says. While spinach and collard greens also contain a lot of vitamin C, kale contains about three times as much, so it definitely deserves a place on your plate.*
*Sourced via Pubmed
How to enjoy it: Whether you prefer your greens cooked or raw, there are countless ways to add kale to your meals. If you like it cooked, try making a quick, low-carb stovetop stir-fry. Start by spraying a pan with oil, then cube raw chicken, chop up a tomato, and wash two cups of raw kale. Place everything in the oiled, warmed pan and season with salt and pepper. Once everything is wilted and cooked through, add some pesto and mix to coat the pan’s contents evenly. In addition to Vitamin C, this easy healthy meal is a source of protein and healthy fats, which are both needed for hair growth.
Supplement alternative: Rich in vitamin C, HUM Hyaluronic Glow Gummies can help protect against oxidative stress that can decrease the skin’s natural glow. It also provides vitamin E, which helps neutralize free radicals that can harm healthy skin.
Okra
Like kale, okra is low in calories and a good source of the antioxidant vitamin C, offering up 26% of the recommended daily intake in just a one-cup serving. In addition to supporting hair health, vitamin C can help you absorb iron from your diet. The nutrient carries oxygen to your hair follicles, which supports growth. That said, if you’ve been experiencing hair loss due to an iron deficiency, a diet rich in vitamin C—or a supplement—can help, notes Ehsani. Vitamin C also helps protect cells from free radical damage from UV rays—just another reason it’s a vital nutrient to ensure you get enough of.
How to enjoy it: If you’re not a fan of okra’s famously slimy texture, Ehsani suggests grilling or roasting the veggie with olive oil and a sprinkle of herbs and spices. (Cook 10 to 15 minutes on 425°F.) Another trick that may help? Instead of chopping the veggies into rounds, slice them into long, skinny strips. This will better allow them to crisp up when they cook.
If low iron levels are a concern for you, pair your okra with red meat, which is an excellent source of the nutrient. “It’s essential to pair iron-rich foods with a source of vitamin C to help your body better absorb the iron,” explains Ehsani. Grilling your okra? Put some burgers over the flame, too. If you’re baking them, marinate sirloin steak tips and then pop them in the oven while the okra cooks for a simple, low-lift meal.
Supplement alternative: HUM Turn Back Time has 69% of the recommended daily value for Vitamin C, promoting skin cell protection and supporting collagen production. It also contains Polypodium leucotomos, a fern extract, that may help shield the skin from the effects of sun exposure.
Parsnips
People generally overlook parsnips, reaching instead for their more popular relative, the carrot. But this white, fall root veg is packed with flavor, not to mention nutrients like folate, zinc, and vitamins C, E, and K. Not getting enough vitamin C can cause dry, brittle hair, and rough, scaly skin, while zinc deficiencies can lead to hair loss and brittle nails, so it’s essential to eat plenty of foods that have the nutrients. Plus, vitamin E also has some anti-inflammatory properties that protect against UV skin damage and visible signs of aging, like wrinkles and sun spots, Ehsani says.
How to eat it: Best enjoyed cooked, try these pale beauties in soups and stews, boiled and mashed with herbs and lemon for a lower-carb spin on mashed potatoes, or sliced and roasted with olive oil and spices as a side dish.
Supplement alternative: HUM Base Control has iron, vitamin C, and other vital nutrients that work together to help bridge nutrition gaps that may be impacting your skin, hair, nails, and overall well-being.
Butternut Squash
You may see butternut squash in the supermarket year-round, but its sweet and nutty flavor is most prevalent in those harvested in the fall. And fun fact: While most consider butternut squash to be a vegetable, it’s technically a fruit—and one that packs a host of beauty benefits.
“Butternut squash is rich in vitamins A, C, and E. Vitamin A supports skin regeneration, while vitamin C boosts collagen production, promoting skin firmness and healing,” notes Ehsani. “Vitamin E, on the other hand, helps maintain moisture in hair, skin, and nails.”
How to eat it: Blending steamed butternut squash into a soup makes for a great fall-inspired meal. Roasting it is also delicious. Set your oven to 400°F and spread the squash on a sheet pan with some chicken thighs, red onion, and broccoli. Sprinkle on some olive oil, maple syrup, garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes to punch up the flavor, then bake for about 40 minutes.
Supplement alternative: HUM Collagen Love delivers collagen peptides to support skin firmness and elasticity, and vitamin C to help repair skin damage.
Fresh Cranberries
If you generally reach for dried cranberries instead of the fresh ones, you may want to reconsider. Not only do the fresh ones provide more vitamin C than dried—a key nutrient for skin health—they contain no added sugar, making them a better choice for skin health, Ehsani notes. “Dried cranberries often have added sugars, which, when consumed in large amounts, can increase inflammation and potentially harm skin.”
How to eat it: Cranberries are usually too tart to be eaten raw, but cooking them will sweeten them up. Ehsani recommends adding them to salads, grain bowls, yogurt, or chia pudding—but you’ll need to soften them a bit first. To do this, add one cup of fresh cranberries, 1/4 cup of water, and four tablespoons of sugar to a small saucepan. Heat the mixture on medium-high heat until cranberries begin to pop. Let the berries cool completely before adding them to other dishes.
Supplement alternative: HUM Hyaluronic Glow Gummies are formulated with hyaluronic acid to help lock in moisture and vitamin C to stimulate collagen.

]]>The post A Vaginal Probiotic Men Can Use? Yes, Hear Us Out… appeared first on HUM Nutrition Blog.
]]>That’s right: HUM’s Private Party can also be used as a urinary tract health supplement for men. How does it work, exactly? Through cranberry PACs, which are powerful compounds that promote a healthy urinary tract. Read on to learn how cranberry PACs can support men’s urinary tract health and what to look for in urinary tract health supplements for men.
What Are Cranberry PACs?
“Cranberries are made up of beneficial bioactive compounds called PACs,” explains Gaby Vaca-Flores, RDN, CLE, and senior education and scientific affairs manager at HUM Nutrition. “These bioactives are a type of flavonoid that provide antimicrobial benefits.” PACs, or proanthocyanidins, are phytochemicals in the polyphenol family. Due to their extremely high antioxidant content, they provide antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits as well cardio- and neuroprotection. They’re naturally found in flowers, seeds, and dark berries. Cranberries are especially rich in A-type PACs, which are particularly effective for supporting urinary tract health.
How Do Cranberry PACs Support Urinary Tract Health?
Think of cranberry PACs as frontline fighters for your urinary tract. “One of the main ways that cranberry PACs provide benefits is by disrupting the bioactivities of bacteria within the urinary tract,” Vaca-Flores says. “This action can help address imbalances that occur when too much bad bacteria builds up in the mucosal lining of the urinary tract.”
Cranberry Juice vs. Cranberry Supplements: Which Is Better?
You’ve likely heard that drinking cranberry juice can help with UTIs. It’s true: Drinking cranberry juice concentrate or eating cranberries can help boost your daily dose of cranberry PACs, which may provide some benefits to your urinary tract health. “The challenge, however, is knowing how many cranberries to eat or drink to get a clinically-effective dose of PACs for significant benefits,” Vaca-Flores explains. “Factors like fruit quality and juice processing can make it challenging to determine how many cranberry PACs are in a given serving of cranberries or juice.” That’s why taking a supplement with a proper amount of cranberry PACs is the best option if you want to truly support your urinary tract health.
What to Look For in Urinary Tract Health Supplements
When it comes to urinary tract health supplements, you want to make sure you’re getting the right dose. “For best results, you should look for a cranberry supplement that provides a standardized amount of cranberry PACs (like HUM’s Private Party), as this ensures you’re getting a dose that is actually effective,” Vaca-Flores says. “Studies show that cranberries, standardized to provide 36 milligrams of PACs, are the most effective for providing urinary tract health benefits.”
Can Men Really Take Private Party as a Urinary Tract Health Supplement?
Don’t let the fact that it’s also a vaginal probiotic deter you: Private Party can be a very effective urinary tract health supplement for men. That’s because it’s formulated with a significant level of cranberry PACs. “One of the great things about cranberry PACs is that they support urinary tract health for both men and women,” Vaca-Flores says. “For this reason, men who are interested in supporting their urinary tract can benefit from trying Private Party.”
FAQ
Who should take cranberry PACs?
Anyone concerned about their urinary tract health can benefit from taking cranberry PACs. While women more commonly experience UTIs, men can experience them too.
Are there any risks to taking cranberry PACs?
“Cranberry PACs are generally considered safe for use with little to no known side effects in adults,” Vaca-Flores says. However, there’s mixed evidence showing people who are predisposed to kidney stones should avoid excessive amounts of cranberries. Cranberries contain calcium oxalates, a mineral that can lead to kidney stones when accumulated. If you’re prone to kidney stones, consult your doctor before adding cranberries or cranberry-containing products to your daily routine.
Do I need to store Private Party in the fridge?
While some probiotics need to be stored in a cold environment, Private Party is shelf-stable. You can keep it anywhere you’d like—and bring it with you while you travel—without worry.

]]>The post The New GLP-1 Booster: Fiber Powder That Helps Crush Cravings and Doubles your GLP-1 Levels, Naturally appeared first on HUM Nutrition Blog.
]]>This latest addition to our Flatter Me family is packed with fiber and formulated to naturally double GLP-1 levels, curb cravings, and promote regularity. This is a GLP1 supplement like no other. The powder formula is supercharged with a Flatter Me enzyme blend to ease bloat and support digestion. While we love all of this, it gets even better. The product is Clean Label Project Certified and Non-GMO Verified. Additionally, it’s clinically shown to double GLP-1 levels naturally and curb cravings and appetite in just one use (yes, one use!).
In this article, we explore the benefits of this GLP1 supplement, what it’s made of, and how it can be a game-changer for your daily health!
What is FLATTER MEⓇ Fiber GLP-1 Booster?
The FLATTER ME Fiber GLP-1 Booster is a clinically backed prebiotic fiber formulated to double GLP-1 levels naturally, curb cravings, and promote regularity. It contains 18 Digestive enzymes that work fast to break down food and reduce bloat in 30 minutes.
Why Did We Make This GLP-1 Supplement?
Fiber and GLP-1 go hand-in-hand as fiber stimulates the release of GLP-1 in the body, which helps reduce hunger and cravings. So we created a prebiotic fiber supplement powder that could be taken daily, and enjoyed while helping boost GLP-1 levels and promoting health benefits like:
- Reduces bloating within 30 minutes
- The feeling of fullness within 30 minutes
- Promotes regularity of bowel movements
VP of Scientific Affairs + education, Dr. Jennifer Martin-Biggers PhD, MS, RD, said, “We specifically selected the prebiotic fiber as it supports the body’s natural release of GLP-1.” Dr. Martin-Biggers went on to explain the importance of Fibersol, stating “Certain types of nutrients can stimulate GLP-1 release more than others, and this fiber is a type of prebiotic-resistant starch that was shown in a clinical trial to be very effective and when 10g of Fibersol was consumed right before a meal, people had 2x the release of GLP-1 compared to eating the same meal with no additional fiber.”
Who is this GLP-1 Supplement For?
Everyone! An extra daily dose of fiber is always a plus. Most Americans do not consume enough fiber. In fact, 90% of women and 97% of men don’t get enough fiber in their diets.
If you are taking a weight loss drug and want to incorporate this fiber powder into your routine please consult your physician.
What Are The Ingredients?
Prebiotic Fiber
Clinically shown to double GLP-1, the satiety hormone, helping you curb cravings and appetite in just one use.
18 Full-Spectrum Enzymes
FLATTER ME Fiber GLP-1 Booster contains 18 full-spectrum enzymes that break down food to support healthy digestion and reduce bloating,
Natural Triple Herb Blend

How to Use It
One of the reasons we love this product is that it’s incredibly easy to use and incorporate into your health routine.
Thoroughly mix 2 tsp with 8 fl oz of water. To feel fuller and boost GLP-1†, use 4 tsp with 16 fl oz of water.
Common FLATTER ME Fiber GLP-1 Booster FAQs
1. How to take
Thoroughly mix 2 tsp with 8 fl oz of water. To feel fuller and boost GLP-1, use 4 tsp with 16 fl oz of water. For easy mixing, I suggest pouring Flatter Me® Fiber powder into a glass first, adding cool water, and then stirring until fully dissolved.
2. Is there a best time of day to take Flatter Me Fiber?
You can take Flatter Me® Fiber at any time, but for noticeable improvements in hunger throughout the day, take it with breakfast or lunch. Clinical studies show that Fibersol® (the prebiotic fiber found in Flatter MeⓇ Fiber) can help you feel fuller for hours after eating!
3. What is the difference between a single dose and a double dose?
If you’re looking for daily regularity and digestive health support, I suggest taking a single dose (2 teaspoons) of Flatter Me® Fiber at any time. If you aim to curb your appetite and boost your GLP-1 levels, a double dose (4 teaspoons) with a meal is recommended.
4. When will I see results?
Within 30 minutes of taking Flatter Me® Fiber with a meal, you should feel less bloated. A 10-gram serving (4 teaspoons) can help you feel fuller, and after 4 hours, it boosts GLP-1 production by up to twice the normal amount, supporting healthy weight management. With daily use, it promotes regularity and provides ongoing digestive support.
5. Should I take both Flatter Me and Flatter Me Fiber?
Yes! Together they provide complementary support for bloating, appetite control, and regularity. For best results, take Flatter Me® Fiber with food and continue using Flatter Me with a different meal(s), such as one that may cause bloating.
6. What is the difference between Flatter Me and Flatter Me Fiber?
Both formulas contain clinically studied ingredients that support healthy digestion, reduce bloating, and help you feel your best after meals.
Flatter Me® Fiber pairs digestive enzymes with 10 grams of prebiotic fiber that boosts GLP-1 levels to help curb appetite and support fullness in just one use with a meal. It’s a great choice for those seeking daily digestive support with added benefits for appetite control.
7. Does this fiber cause any GI issues?
Flatter MeⓇ Fiber is a digestion-friendly fiber that is generally well-tolerated. It is made with a prebiotic soluble fiber that is slowly fermented in the large intestine, making it less likely to cause discomfort like bloating or cramping compared to other fibers.
If you’re worried about digestive discomfort, start with half the recommended dose for a few days to see how your body reacts before increasing to the full amount.
8. Do the digestive enzymes break down the fiber?
No, the fiber isn’t broken down by the digestive enzymes in our formula. Instead, the soluble fiber passes through the small intestine, bypassing enzyme breakdown, and is slowly fermented by gut bacteria in the large intestine.
9. Can I take this GLP1 Supplement with other HUM supplements?
Yes, absolutely!

]]>The post What Does It Mean to be HUM Clean and Clinical? appeared first on HUM Nutrition Blog.
]]>If you long for clear skin, a thriving gut, balanced hormones, or all these and more, we all should feel empowered knowing that the choices we make—and the products we buy—can lead us closer to our goals. Taking an inside-out approach is vital to HUM Nutrition’s DNA, which is why we take things a step further to ensure our supplements are potent and pure for optimal performance.
Ahead, we’re diving into what it means for HUM’s full supplement line to be clean and clinical.
What Does ‘HUM Clean’ Mean?
While there’s no cut and dried definition for what constitutes the term ‘clean,’ HUM has defined its own set of standards. First, HUM Clean entails skipping ingredients that may be harmful or suspect so you don’t have to think twice about the safety and quality of our supplements.
HUM avoids ‘ick list’ ingredients that evolving research has suggested can have negative consequences for your health and well-being:
- Artificial colors. While these are FDA–approved, a 2023 review published in Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry notes that some may have toxic effects on the brain, liver, kidney, thyroid, lungs, and bladder. Color us convinced that these hues deserve the boot.
- Artificial preservatives. Preservatives may help extend the shelf life of products, but they also run the risk of altering gut bacteria and triggering hypersensitivity.
- Artificial sweeteners. Per a 2023 review published in the journal Cureus, an unsweet truth is that these synthetic sugar substitutes have been linked to GI dysfunction, neurological symptoms, cardiovascular risk, and metabolic disorder.
- Artificial flavors. Why use fake and potentially harmful flavors when you can opt for real-deal alternatives?
- High-fructose corn syrup. Per the Cleveland Clinic, eating an excess of HFCS may promote issues with blood sugar, metabolism, blood pressure, and gut permeability.
- Hydrogenated oils. Aka the OG of trans fat, these oils spell bad news for heart health.
- Talc. Research on the safety of talc is inconclusive, but HUM prefers to err on the side of caution by doing without it.
- Magnesium silicate. A type of talc with a similar lack of research backing its lingering effects, magnesium silicate is another of HUM’s no-gos.
- Titanium dioxide. It’s banned in Europe, can accumulate in the body, and is potentially carcinogenic. Pass!
- EDTA and derivatives. These can bind to heavy metals. Unless you’re dealing with metal toxicity, you’re better off avoiding them so you can reduce the risk of developing mineral deficiencies.
- Shellac. Did you know that this coating for softgels is produced from the secretions of the parasitic lac insect? Well, now you do… and we definitely don’t blame you if you don’t want to ingest it.
- Pharmaceutical glaze. Last but not least, this tricky ingredient can contain shellac and/or titanium dioxide, hence why HUM skips it.
Aside from bypassing the Ick List, HUM also does rigorous, independent third-party testing to get unbiased seals of approval. HUM’s full lineup passes the exacting standards set by:
- The Clean Label Project, which tests for hundreds of contaminants and chemicals (including but not limited to heavy metals, pesticides, and plasticizers)
- Good Manufacturing Processes (GMP), ensuring that each and every supplement passes standards for strength, purity, and composition
- The Non-GMO Project, meaning you’ll never find genetically modified anything in your HUM bottles
Bonus: HUM is committed not only to the health of its customers, but also the health of the planet. As such, the company uses Prevented Ocean Plastic

]]>The post How To Choose The Best Digestive Enzymes appeared first on HUM Nutrition Blog.
]]>In this article, we’ll explain what digestive enzymes are, how they work, and what to look for so you can choose the best one for your digestive needs.
What are Digestive Enzymes?
Digestive enzymes are substances naturally produced by the body to help break down food.
In fact, enzymes are released in your saliva as soon as you start chewing. As food moves through the GI tract, enzymes continue to break down proteins, fats, carbs, and other large nutrients. This process mainly occurs in the stomach, small intestine, and pancreas.
Supplemental digestive enzymes work similarly. They help break down nutrients into smaller, more easily absorbed molecules. For many, taking these supplements can help relieve bloating by minimizing the fermentation that can occur when nutrients aren’t fully digested. This fermentation process can draw in gas, leading to bloat and discomfort.
Types of Digestive Enzymes
There are several types of digestive enzymes, each with a specific role. Some break down proteins, while others help digest the milk sugars found in dairy. To find the best digestive enzyme (or enzymes) for you, consider the types of foods you need help digesting.
Here’s an overview of how different types of digestive enzymes can help:
Enzymes that breakdown protein
Digestive enzymes in the proteases family help digest proteins into their building blocks, called amino acids.
The breakdown happens in the pancreas allowing for amino acids to be absorbed in the upper part of our abdomen, called the duodenum. Amino acids are typically regarded as a marker for protein quality and they are essential to many important functions including muscle and tissue repair.
There are many different types of proteases for protein digestion, including:
- Protease
- Bromelain
- Papain
Enzymes that breakdown carbohydrates
Amylases are a group of enzymes that help break down starch into sugars like glucose. Mainly, starches are found in bread, cereal, corn, rice and root vegetables like potatoes.
For some, starches can be difficult to digest due to their complex molecular structure. Certain types of starches known as resistant starches, are nearly indigestible, which can lead to fermentation in the large intestine and cause bloating.
Digestive enzymes in the amylase family work to break down starches into simple sugars that can be used for energy. The release of amylases typically starts at the mouth via saliva and continues at the pancreas.
There are various types of amylases including:
- Glucoamylase
- Alpha-galactosidase
- Invertase
- Diastase
Enzymes that breakdown fats
Lipase is the main digestive enzyme that breaks down dietary fats. It works by digesting fats into its simple form known as free fatty acids which are compounds that help energize tissues in the body. Lipase does most of its heavy lifting in the pancreas, but it’s also secreted in the mouth and stomach.
It’s important to fully digest dietary fats for a variety of reasons – for one, fat-soluble vitamins like vitamins A, D, E, and K, rely on lipase to release them into the body’s tissues for use. Poor fat absorption can also lead to more serious gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea and fatty bowel movements.
Enzymes that breakdown fiber
Despite being healthy, many dietary fibers are indigestible which is why they can cause bloating for many people. Fortunately, various types of enzymes can make fiber easier to digest.
For instance, the digestive enzyme cellulase can help break down cellulose, an indigestible fiber that makes up the cell wall of high-fiber fruits and veggies, into easy-to-digest sugars.
Another example includes beta-glucanase, an enzyme that breaks down beta-glucans, a soluble fiber that makes grains like oats and cereals difficult to digest.
Enzymes that breakdown milk sugar
Lactase can help break down lactose, the milk sugar found in dairy that contributes to bloating and discomfort. For most people, poor dairy digestion isn’t a huge health threat. However, if you find yourself avoiding dairy because of GI discomfort, you may be missing out on key nutrients like calcium and vitamin D.
Interestingly, about 70% of adults are low on lactase, hence why unpleasant bloating after eating dairy is so common. Fortunately, taking a digestive enzyme supplement that provides lactase can be helpful if you struggle with bloating after eating dairy.
What to Look for in a Digestive Enzyme Supplement
Digestive enzyme supplements can support better digestion and nutrient absorption. With so many options available, it’s crucial to understand what makes a quality supplement. Here’s a breakdown of what to consider:
Clinically supported
When choosing a digestive enzyme, look for one that is backed by clinical research. Clinical support ensures that the product has been tested and shown to be effective for the intended use. Look for clinical studies that are “gold standard”, meaning a study that compared the product to a placebo, and was double blinded (meaning both participants and the researchers did not know which product they were taking) and participants were randomized to a group to ensure minimal bias. Flatter Me was compared to a placebo in a randomized, double-blind clinical trial and shown to reduce bloating (at 30 and 120 minutes after a meal) among 19 healthy adults who suffered from occasional bloating.
Benefits
Not all digestive enzymes are created equal and it’s important to choose a formula that addresses your specific concerns.
For general digestive support, look for a broad spectrum or comprehensive digestive enzyme blend that includes proteases, lipases and amylases to break down proteins, fats and carbs. Specific types of these enzymes can be helpful in breaking down specific hard to digest things like fibers.
Flatter Me contains a blend of 18 digestive enzymes that work to break down all food groups to reduce bloating and support nutrient absorption. Flatter Me Extra Strenght provides 50% more digestive enzymes for added support for hard to digest foods or for people who need extra enzymes (as we age we make less digestive enzymes naturally so may need some extra support). Flatter Me Plus contains the Flatter Me 18 digestive enzyme blend plus 2 clinically studied probiotic strains that provide the benefits of Flatter Me along with improving regularity and more bloat relief through supporting gut health.
Ingredients
A high-quality supplement should contain a comprehensive blend of enzymes that can break down a variety of foods. Look for products that include:
- Protease: Breaks down proteins into amino acids.
- Amylase: Helps digest carbohydrates.
- Lipase: Breaks down fats.
- Cellulase: Assists in breaking down fiber from plant cell walls.
- Lactase: Helps digest lactose found in dairy.
- Bromelain & Papain: Natural enzymes from pineapple and papaya that aid protein digestion.
A supplement with a variety of enzymes will help ensure it can handle your entire meal, leading to better nutrient absorption and less digestive discomfort.
Potency
The potency of the enzymes is measured in activity units like HUT (Hemoglobin Unit Tyrosine Base) for protease or FIP (Fungal Lipase Unit) for lipase. The potency determines how effective the enzyme is at breaking down specific nutrients into smaller forms that are easier to digest. It is important to check the label of a digestive enzyme product to make sure that it provides these units as this is what really shows the potency of an enzyme.
Certifications
Third party certifications, like that from the Clean Label Project, are important independent measures of quality for supplements.
The Clean Label Project is a non-profit organization that independently tests all HUM products for hundreds of environmental and industrial contaminants, including heavy metals, pesticides and plasticizerst. Their certification ensures that a supplement has undergone rigorous third-party testing and meets high standards for purity and safety.

]]>The post How to Choose the Best Probiotics from Us Here at HUM Nutrition appeared first on HUM Nutrition Blog.
]]>What Are Probiotics?
Bacteria often get a bad rap, but our bodies are actually home to trillions of microorganisms that are essential for our health. Probiotics are live microorganisms found in our bodies, mainly in the gut but also in areas like the vaginal and skin microbiome. These friendly microbes help keep our digestive system balanced and support overall health. However, when the balance of these microorganisms is disrupted, it can lead to digestive issues, skin problems, or vaginal discomfort, making a targeted probiotic for women essential.
Benefits of Probiotics for Women
These positive bacteria offer benefits beyond just aiding digestion with different strains of bacteria supporting various wellness goals. Research indicates they may support:
- Digestive Health: A diverse gut microbiota, including Bacillus Coagulans Unique IS2 (found in Pro ACV Gummies), may help maintain regular bowel movements and be supportive in relieving digestive discomfort making it an important consideration when choosing a probiotic for women.
- Immune Function: A diverse gut microbiome supports a strong immune system, with specific strains like Streptococcus thermophilous, found in Gut Instinct, particularly supportive.
- Mood Support: Certain strains like Lactobacillus plantarum (DR7) (found in Fan Club) support the gut-brain axis, which can help balance mood and support stress through healthy cortisol levels.
- Skin Health: The gut and skin communicate via the gut-brain axis, demonstrating the influence of our gut microbiome on skin health. Skin Squad was developed with specific strains to support this relationship.
- Vaginal Health: The vaginal microbiome looks very different than the gut microbiome, with Lactobacillus being the star of the show. Lactobacillus acidophilus, rhamnosus, and reuteri found in Private Party help keep the vaginal microbiome balanced and acidic (the way we want it!), an important factor when selecting a vaginal probiotic for women.
Probiotics Through Food vs. Supplements
Food Sources
Foods like yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and kimchi are rich in strains like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. As a Registered Dietitian, these foods are encouraged to consume to boost the diversity of the gut and support a healthy gut microbiome. However, knowing exactly how many specific strains and microorganisms you’re getting can be difficult.
Supplements
Probiotic Supplements offer targeted support with specific strains at known concentrations. This can be particularly useful if you have specific health goals, making them an excellent choice when choosing a probiotic for women.
While a balanced diet can support the gut microbiome, supplements ensure you get a range of beneficial microorganisms in precise amounts tailored to your wellness needs.

Tips for Getting Started With Your HUM Routine
When it comes to taking supplements, we know that consistency is key for maximizing benefits. But for many of us, it can be challenging to build and maintain a steady routine. The result? Feeling like you’re not getting the most benefits from your supplements.
Fortunately, keeping up with a supplement regimen is easier than you might think. Through implementing a few simple hacks, you too can be on your way to making supplements a part of your everyday life.
Here are 5 tips for getting started with your new HUM routine:
Habit stacking
This simple hack makes it easier to adopt new habits. It works by pairing the desired habit to a behavior that you already do on a daily basis. For instance, if you have a hard time remembering to take a supplement first thing in the morning, you can try pairing your supplement with a habit that you already do when you wake up. For example, you can leave your supplement next to your next to your toothbrush so that you can remember to take it after brushing your teeth.
Use reminders
Setting alarms on your phone can be an effective way to remind yourself that it’s time to take your supplements. Another option is to download the HUM Nutrition Healthy Habits app which will automatically provide you with reminders to take your supplements throughout the day and tips on how to take your supplements for best results.
Keep them visible
The phrase, “out of sight, out of mind” rings true when it comes to remembering to take your supplement. As such, set yourself up for success by leaving your supplements in places where you’ll regularly see them. For example, leave the bottle visible at the dinner table or in your lunch bag if your supplement needs to be taken with food.
Start slowly
Ease into your new routine slowly, especially if you have a sensitive stomach. For instance, start with taking just one supplement for a couple of days before introducing the second and third supplements. This can help allow your body to get used to your new products in a more gentle way.
Work with your HUM RD Nutritionist
Did you know that as a HUM customer, you get free access to an RD Nutritionist (RDN)? HUM’s RD Nutritionists are nutrition experts that can help guide you as you embark on your supplement journey.
