Additional Product Details
"When patients come to me with any health concern, one of the first things I do is determine the health of their gut. That's because gut health has a huge impact on our physical, as well as our mental, well-being. Ayurveda teaches that keeping our body and mind healthy starts by balancing the gut."

Traditional Ayurvedic Herbs for Digestion and Immune Health
Dr. Chaudhary’s exclusive blend of herbs and spices is used to support healthy, comfortable digestion. For example, amla is known to promote healthy bowel movements and support healthy digestion. Ginger has been used by herbalists for thousands of years for its gut health benefits and is also traditionally used for immune health.
Turmeric and black pepper are both traditionally used as digestive aids, as is fennel, which practitioners use to relieve digestive discomfort. Cumin literally means “promoting digestion” in Sanskrit and Ayurvedic tradition holds cumin to be one of the best herbs to help you avoid digestive sluggishness.
Ayurveda's Perfect Probiotic Supports a Strong Gut-Brain Connection
B. coagulans MTCC 5856, also known as LactoSpore®, is a spore-forming, lactic acid-based probiotic that honors the Ayurvedic principle that gut health and brain health are inextricably connected—to support one you must support the other.
LactoSpore helps improve quality of bowel movements and stool consistency, to ease feelings of fullness, and to support overall digestive function. As a bonus, research also shows that LactoSpore can help enhance mood and improve quality of life in those with abdominal concerns.
Less Bloating and Discomfort for a Happier Gut
DigeZyme®, a vegan, non-GMO multi-enzyme blend of five digestive enzymes—including alpha-amylase, neutral protease, cellulase, lactase, and lipase—helps to break down notoriously difficult-to-digest foods including proteins, carbohydrates, fiber, fats, and dairy for healthy, comfortable digestion.
At the same time GutGard®, a proprietary, clinically validated licorice extract, promotes overall digestive bliss. A clinical study shows that GutGard reduces overall symptoms of abdominal discomfort, bloating, feelings of fullness, and occasional belching and nausea.
What sets Veda Balance® Gut, and all of the products included in the Veda Wellness line, apart from other products is how they are formulated, integrating Ayurvedic practices and modern science in a completely new way. Every formula blends traditionally used herbs with standardized and clinically proven extracts to provide you with the health-boosting benefits you want, but without needing to consume a mountain of powder or swallow a bunch of pills.
The word Veda means "wisdom" or "knowledge" and refers to the ancient wisdom passed down through the ages. In Sanskrit, Ayurveda means “the science of life” and is the knowledge of health and healing that is based on maintaining balance between the body and the mind, and with the world around you.
Prajna Ayurveda provides everything you need to be successful and thrive in a way that fits your lifestyle and health needs, and meets you exactly where you are. You'll feel balanced and full of life, energy, and pure joy!

Science and Quality
Bacillus coagulans (LactoSpore®) 2 Billion CFU
LactoSpore is spore-forming, lactic acid-based probiotic containing the specific B. coagulans MTCC 5856 strain.
Two particular studies have shown positive effects with 2 billion CFU using LactoSpore B. coagulans. One randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with 31 participants showed that 2 billion CFU of LactoSpore® reduced GI discomfort compared to placebo over a 90-day study period with individuals also reporting an improvement in quality of life.1
In another randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with 40 individuals, results showed that supplementation with LactoSpore B. coagulans led to an improvement in mood and support of mental health, a reduction in gastrointestinal discomfort, and an improvement in digestive quality of life.2
GutGard® (Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice Extract, root) 150 mg
Licorice is traditionally used in Ayurveda for its ability to nourish the lungs and adrenals, soothe the throat and digestive tract, and support the immune system.
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 50 participants who took GutGard for 30 days saw a reduction in bloating, belching, and nausea as well as reduced feelings of fullness after meals.3
A human study found that GutGard supports several aspects of healthy digestive function and animal studies indicate that deglycyrrhizinated licorice may support the gastric mucosal lining.4
DigeZyme® Enzyme Blend (75 mg)
DigeZyme is a unique blend of five vegan, non-GMO digestive enzymes that support the breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats from food.
Protease: breaks down protein and peptides.
Alpha-Amylase: helps break down carbohydrates. Amylase functions over a broad range of pH (3–8), which indicates it will help start to break down starches in the stomach after a meal. However, most carbohydrate digestion occurs in the intestines, where the enzymes will continue to work.
Cellulase: breaks down cellulose and chitin. It helps to free nutrients in fruits and vegetables.
Lactase: breaks down milk lactose, which is especially important for those with lactose intolerance.
Lipase: breaks down fat into glycerol and fatty acids.

FAQs
- What is Ayurveda? Ayurveda is the traditional medical system of India and one of the oldest surviving healing systems in the world (at least 5,000 years old). “Ayu” means life and “veda” means knowledge, so Ayurveda is the knowledge of life. It’s based on the philosophy that good health depends on the balance between the mind, body, and spirit. Ayurveda deepens your connection to who you are and aligns you with the natural world. The practice of Ayurveda is a journey towards greater self-awareness and balance so you’re able to make healthier decisions about your life.
- What is a dosha and how do I know what mine is? The doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—are the foundation of Ayurveda. They’re the energies that govern our mind and body. Think of them as your own personal blueprint, a map to yourself. We’re all made up of a combination of these three energies and by knowing your dosha, you take the guess work out of what diet and lifestyle changes to make to achieve desired health and life goals. To learn more about doshas, and which dosha type you are, you can read Dr. Chaudhary’s article "What is Your Dosha?"
- What are Adaptogens? Adaptogens are certain herbs or mushrooms thought to have health benefits that can help how our body and mind manages fatigue, stress, and feelings of anxiousness. They are used in Ayurveda to help balance and strengthen the body and mind.
- Where are the ingredients sourced? We take great care in sourcing all of our ingredients so that they meet our stringent quality, safety and purity standards. Our Prajna Ayurveda traditional use whole powders are sourced from responsible growers in India and are organically grown without any pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
- When can I begin to see results with some of the products? The beauty of these Ayurvedic herbs is that you will know when they begin working. With regular use, most people should notice an improvement and noticeable benefits over time. Dr. Chaudhary suggests that you give any new regimen, including dietary and lifestyle changes, at least 90 days to work effectively on your body and mind to achieve a healthy balance.
- Can I use more than one herbal product at once? Yes, you can. In general, herbs work very well together. The Prime Collection herbs in particular were personally selected by Dr. Chaudhary to be a part of her Prime Method program and specifically selected for their balancing effects on the body and mind to help achieve the desired health goals.
- Do your products use the whole Ayurvedic herb or standardized extracts, and what is the difference? It was important to us that we honor the traditional practice of Ayurveda and include the herb in whole powder form in all of our products, as this is the composition in which they exist in nature. Science has also made it possible to create concentrated extracts of the whole herb, so combining the traditionally used whole powders with the standardized extract, we can ensure quality and potency so that you get all of the intended health benefits of the herb, without taking a lot of pills.
- How should I store my product? All products are shelf-stable and should be stored in a cool and dry environment without any exposure to direct sunlight. You can store your products on your kitchen counter or wherever is convenient for your daily use.
- What is the best time of day to take the product? All products are designed for gentle daily use, and with the exception of Triphala which is best to take 30 minutes before bed, can be taken morning and/or evening with a meal.
- How do you ensure product safety? Healthy Directions adheres to stringent quality standards and a unique Triple-Testing Philosophy™ that meets all industry Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and FDA requirements to deliver safe, superior products every time.
