Wild thyme (Thymus serpyllum) is a medicinal plant traditionally used in Europe for its antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It’s especially rich in various polyphenols, including flavonoids and phenolic acids, which have shown prebiotic effects on the microbiome.
A Greek gastroenterologist paved the way for the development of 360GUT®, a novel prebiotic ingredient from Finzelberg derived from T. serpyllum. While treating patients with tea made from wild thyme for respiratory infections, the gastroenterologist discovered that it also improved their gastrointestinal health.
