A nutritional scientist has launched a new healthy supplement which has more than 30 ingredients - and which he says will reduce inflammation and help gut heath. Tim Spector, who is professor of genetic epidemiology at King's College London and founder of the Zoe health app, said the £2.25 a day addition will help people to hit the goal of eating 30 different plants.
Prof Spector said in a 50-person trial, one control group was given dried croutons while another group was given Daily 30+. After six weeks 51 per cent of supplement takers reported an improvement in energy and saw a significant improvement in the composition of their gut bacteria: an average five-point increase on Zoe's microbiome score. He told the Times that many people take supplements all the time, and then proceed to have a poor diet.
He described most as a 'complete waste of money' and claimed there was little scientific evidence to back up usage. The 30 plant-a-day recommendation from Tim Spector is because variety is incredibly important - and the focus is on the gut bacteria health which effects inflammation, helps fight disease and infection and prevent diabetes and dementia. Prof Spector said: "Half the population takes supplements regularly, but 99 per cent have no evidence they work.
People pop a multivitamin and carry on eating rubbish." According to Prof Spector, there are 7,000 polyphenols contained in the plants and fungi in the supplement, which protect us from inflammation. He said: "They shi.
