Most people haven’t heard of the feijoa fruit, but inside this green, tropical fruit lies a powerful compound with the potential to support your metabolism, gut health and appetite regulation, all in one.
Its extract, Feiolix®, is one of the only natural ingredients shown to support the production of GLP-1, a gut hormone that helps regulate blood sugar and reduce cravings. When your GLP-1 response is functioning well, everything from energy to appetite begins to feel more balanced.
That is why we include Feiolix® at its clinically effective dose in Daily Gut. Supporting gut health is not just about easing bloating or improving digestion. It is about laying the foundation for long-term health and supporting your body's ability to turn food into energy effectively.
What makes feijoa special?
Feijoa (pronounced fay-jo-ah) is a fruit grown in New Zealand and is naturally rich in:
- Polyphenols, which help nourish the gut lining and reduce inflammation
- Fibre, essential for blood sugar regulation and feelings of fullness
- Abscisic acid, a plant compound shown to support blood glucose control, reduce cravings, and stimulate GLP-1 production
What makes Feiolix®, the extract from feijoa, stand out is its powerful effect on the gut–metabolic axis. This is the system of communication between your gut, hormones and metabolism that influences how your body controls energy, hunger and fat storage.
But first, what is metabolic health — and why does it matter?
Most people think metabolism is simply about how fast you burn calories. In reality, metabolic health refers to your body’s ability to:
- Convert food into usable energy
- Regulate blood sugar levels
- Store and release fat efficiently
- Manage inflammation and hormone balance
When your metabolic health is strong, you feel steady. Your energy is consistent, your appetite is balanced, and your body knows when it’s full. You wake up feeling refreshed, stay focused throughout the day, and your hormones feel more in sync.
When your metabolic health is compromised, everything can feel out of rhythm. You might feel tired after eating, constantly hungry, moody or foggy, and struggle with bloating or cravings — even if your meals are balanced. These are often early signs that your body is struggling to regulate blood sugar, inflammation and hormonal feedback loops.
Metabolically, the gut has a massive role to play, influencing everything from nutrient absorption and fat storage, to appetite regulation and systemic inflammation.
The gut–metabolic connection
Your gut plays a central role in how your body:
- Absorbs nutrients
- Regulates glucose and insulin
- Produces key hormones linked to appetite and energy
A healthy metabolic system depends on a healthy gut. And one of the most important hormones in this system is GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1).
What is GLP-1 and why is it important?
GLP-1 is a naturally occurring hormone produced in the gut. It helps:
- Slow down digestion
- Promote a feeling of fullness
- Balance blood sugar after eating
- Reduce cravings and stabilise appetite
You may have heard of GLP-1 through medications like Ozempic or Mounjaro, which mimic this hormone to help control appetite and manage blood sugar. But your gut can produce GLP-1 on its own — especially when supported by the right nutrients.
This is exactly where Feiolix®, a clinically studied feijoa fruit extract, plays a role.
Feiolix®: the gut-led metabolic ally
Feiolix® is a potent extract from the feijoa fruit, rich in fibre, polyphenols and abscisic acid. It supports the gut–metabolic axis by:
- Enhancing natural GLP-1 production
- Supporting blood sugar regulation and insulin sensitivity
- Reducing reactive eating, cravings and glucose crashes
- Contributing to weight stability by increasing satiety and energy balance
Unlike medications, Feiolix® works with your gut — not against it. On top of being full of abscisic acid (the plant compound shown to support blood glucose control, reduce cravings, and stimulate GLP-1 production), it also gently improves the microbiome environment, and feeds the bacteria that help activate GLP-1 naturally.
Why Feiolix® is in Daily Gut — and what it means for you
We include Feiolix® at its clinically validated dose in every serving of Daily Gut. That means you’re not getting a trace amount, but a proven quantity shown to deliver real results.
Daily Gut is formulated to do more than ease bloating. It is designed to:
- Help you feel more satisfied after meals
- Reduce sugar cravings and reactive eating
- Support steady energy and balanced blood sugar
- Lay the groundwork for long-term gut and metabolic support
Daily Gut shows us what happens when we treat the gut as the starting point, not the afterthought. By supporting appetite-regulating hormones, balancing blood sugar, and reducing cravings, it helps shift the entire metabolic system back into alignment. This is where real energy, better focus, and long-term health begin. It’s gut care that meets the demands of modern life, and supports the way you want to feel.
