Sodium Butyrate
Fuel for the lining
A short-chain fatty acid your gut bacteria make when they ferment fibre. The cells lining your colon use it as their main source of energy.
The gut-lining layer of the Yona system
Four targeted ingredients that support your gut lining directly. Made to sit alongside Vagus One, and gentle enough for sensitive systems.
“Balancing the autonomic nervous system plays a crucial role in gut health. With Yona, I’ve found improvement in many issues like bloating, constipation, diarrhoea and gut-related inflammation.”
Where it fits
Your gut doesn’t run on its own. The nervous system tells it when to move, digest and settle, mostly through the vagus nerve. Vagus One supports that signal.
Gut Barrier+ is the second layer: direct support for the gut environment the signal arrives at, starting with the lining.
New to Yona? We usually recommend starting with Vagus One and adding Gut Barrier+ when you want more direct gut support. See Vagus One
Nutrients for normal nervous system function and the gut–brain connection. The upstream half of the system.
Four ingredients for the gut lining, the mucus layer above it and the balance of what lives in your gut.
How it works
That single layer of cells is the boundary between what you eat and the rest of you, and your body replaces it every few days. Gut Barrier+ puts four ingredients to work on it, each on a different part.
Fuel for the lining
A short-chain fatty acid your gut bacteria make when they ferment fibre. The cells lining your colon use it as their main source of energy.
A beneficial yeast
Not a bacterial probiotic. A well-studied yeast that supports a balanced gut microbiome and a healthier gut environment.
Protection for the lining
Zinc bound to carnosine, a form known for adhering to the gut lining, where it supports the mucosa and the joins between cells. Zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
Binds what shouldn’t be there
Concentrated IgG proteins that bind bacteria, toxins and other unwanted substances inside the gut, before they reach the lining.
| Amount per serving | Dose |

Full transparency
No proprietary blends and no filler list. Every active ingredient is on the label at its full dose.
How to take: 3 capsules a day with food. Sensitive systems can start with fewer and build up over the first week.
The difference
Probiotics add bacteria. Cleanses try to clear things out. Gut Barrier+ supports the lining those bacteria live against.

Honest fit
Your first 12 weeks
The lining renews itself continuously, so steady daily support matters more than any single dose. Here’s what the routine looks like.
Take with food. If your system is sensitive, begin with fewer capsules and build up to 3 a day.
Same meal, every day, alongside Vagus One. Consistency is what the routine runs on.
Keep going. This is where daily support for the lining and gut balance adds up.
Finish the full 12 weeks, then decide whether to keep it as ongoing support.
3 pouches cover the full routine at £36.00 a pouch, which works out to £1.20 a day.

Chat on WhatsAppVagus One is the foundation of the Yona system. It supports the nervous system and the gut–brain connection, the upstream signal.
Gut Barrier+ works more directly on the gut environment itself: the lining, the mucus layer and the balance of what lives in your gut.
Not always. If you’re new to Yona, we usually recommend starting with Vagus One. Gut Barrier+ is best for people who want additional, direct gut support alongside it.
No, it isn’t a standard probiotic. It contains Saccharomyces boulardii, a beneficial yeast, alongside sodium butyrate, zinc L-carnosine and serum-derived bovine immunoglobulin.
Take 3 capsules a day with food. Each pouch holds 90 capsules, which is 30 days. If your system is sensitive, start with fewer capsules and build up over the first week.
Gut Barrier+ is designed to be taken consistently as part of a 12-week routine. Support for the gut environment builds gradually, so we suggest judging it over the full 12 weeks rather than the first few days. Everyone’s experience is different.
No. Gut Barrier+ contains serum-derived bovine immunoglobulin, so it isn’t suitable for vegans or vegetarians.
If you take medication, have a medical condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are under medical supervision, speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using any supplement.
Gut Barrier+ isn’t a replacement for medication. Don’t stop or change prescribed medication without medical guidance.
