ROSWELL,
Ga., June 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The
science is in—gut health is whole body health, and Gut Goodness
prebiotics derived from the ancient "tree of life" should be part
of a holistic health strategy. Gut health and the human microbiome
have become hot topics among today's health-conscious consumers as
medical experts reveal newly-discovered wellness benefits of a
robust digestive system and the positive impacts of prebiotics.
Enter Gut Goodness, a ready-to-drink prebiotic supplement
derived from the fruit and bark pulp of the Baobab Tree and the
brainchild of former collegiate athlete and beverage branding
expert Mo Harruna. As Harruna undertook development of a new,
health-focused beverage, he considered both the physiology and the
consumer buzz around gut health and the potential impact that the
right biotic formula could have on the growing marketplace. As he
researched possible solutions, Harruna ultimately thought of the
"tree of life"—the Baobab Tree from his native Ghana. Baobab is rich in protective
antioxidants and filled with polyphenols, micronutrients and other
plant compounds that protect cells from damage, manage inflammation
and encourage the growth of beneficial gut flora. Renowned in
Harruna's homeland as a remedy for digestive issues and for
sustaining overall health, Baobab's proven efficacy as an
all-natural prebiotic was backed by nutritional evidence—12 times
the fiber of apples, six times the vitamin C of oranges, six times
the antioxidants of pomegranate and twice the calcium of milk.
Gut Goodness is launching in retail locations in Southern California and the Atlanta metro market this summer, and is also
now available online direct to consumers at drinkgutgoodness.com.
Harruna's mantra—"focus on goodness"— directs five percent of all
sales will be given back to the community via the Goodness
Community he has formed to support individuals and associations
that are doing good works for their community..
About founder Mo Harruna
The story behind the brand is
truly fascinating. Founder Mo
Harruna was born in Ghana,
was sent to live with relatives during a political upheaval and
ultimately sent to the United
States for his safety and education. He was able to earn a
soccer scholarship to attend Georgia State
University where he graduated with a BBA/MPA in Marketing.
While coaching youth soccer, Harruna made a strong impression on a
leading Atlanta advertising agency
executive and was soon working on iconic brands like Coca-Cola and
Holiday Inn for Ogilvy & Mather – one of the premier global ad
agencies. One day while reminiscing about Ghana with his mother, Harruna got the idea to
create his own brand using the fruit of the famous Baobab tree.
About Gut Health
Greek physician and father of modern
medicine Hippocrates posited that disease begins in the gut, a
theory validated by today's medical and scientific experts. From
direct defense against pathogens to independent communication with
the central nervous system, the gut is the primary location of the
human microbiome, the connected biologic system of organs,
processes and mechanisms controlling the human body. Acting as a
"second brain" to provide and direct the chemicals, compounds and
antibodies needed to prime our metabolic processes and fortify our
body's immune systems, the gut microbiome is central to sustained
human health and vitality.
About Gut Goodness
Gut Goodness is ready-to-drink and
served in four delicious flavors: Blueberry Lemonade, Mango Green
Tea and Hibiscus, as well as Watermelon energy drink version. Gut
Goodness powder is also available online as a great way to make
your smoothies a healthier choice.
