Overview

Supergut develops evidence-based gut health and GLP-1 nutrition products, including an unflavored GLP-1 booster powder delivering 6g per serving of a patented prebiotic fiber blend, plus prebiotic bars and shakes. The company says its products are the only gut-health nutrition items shown in a gold-standard, peer‑reviewed clinical study to control cravings, support gut health, reduce blood sugar, and sustain energy. Over the last year Supergut grew 172% and expanded into more than 5,000 brick-and-mortar stores, including Target, Sprouts, GNC, Vitamin Shoppe and Erewhon. The brand plans to focus on product innovation, new retail placements, and hiring to scale its team. Leadership is shifting as founder Marc Washington becomes Executive Chairman and Tracey Warner Halama, former CEO of Vital Proteins, joins as CEO to lead expansion. Supergut was founded in 2022 and is presented from Los Angeles. Muniq develops patent-pending prebiotic nutritional shakes formulated with resistant starch to feed the gut microbiome and support blood sugar control, weight management, digestive health, and immunity. The brand launched its line of prebiotic shakes in May 2020 and offers multiple flavors and serving sizes sold nationwide through its website. Customers have reported improved blood sugar control, lower A1C levels, and weight loss, and the company has cultivated a highly engaged community of "Muniq Lifers." Muniq emphasizes science-backed ingredients and has positioned itself around "food as medicine," citing emerging clinical research on the gut microbiome. The company was selected as a 2020 Natural Products Expo NEXTY Awards winner for supporting a healthy microbiome. Stated near-term plans include expanding the product portfolio, advancing clinical research, building the internal team, and amplifying brand awareness.
