Where gut
meets muscle.

A chocolate brownie-flavored daily powder that brings gut and muscle nutrition together in one formula. Inspired by the growing interest in the gut-muscle axis, this formula recognizes that gut and muscle nutrition go hand in hand — bringing both dimensions together in one daily supplement.

Two dimensions of daily nutrition, brought into one formula.

The gut and the muscle are territories that daily nutrition has traditionally addressed separately. Codeage Gut Muscle Formula takes a different view — drawing on the growing conversation around the gut-muscle axis to bring both dimensions together in a single daily supplement.

The result is a formula that spans amino acids, collagen, fiber, botanicals, and a probiotic strain — in a chocolate brownie flavor made with Dutch cocoa.

The Formula's Concept

The gut-muscle axis — a lens for formulation.

The gut-muscle axis refers to the observed relationship between gut health and muscle-related nutritional processes — a connection that has attracted growing attention in nutritional discussions. This formula uses that relationship as its organizing principle, rather than addressing either dimension in isolation.

Gut Dimension

Digestive & microbial support.

Organic tapioca fiber as a prebiotic source, aloe vera inner leaf powder, Bacillus coagulans probiotics, and zinc bisglycinate form the gut-focused layer of this formula — ingredients associated with digestive wellness and microbial balance in nutritional research.

Muscle Dimension

Amino acids & structural protein.

L-Glutamine and hydrolyzed bovine collagen anchor the muscle-facing dimension of the formula. Both are widely discussed amino acid and protein ingredients in the context of active lifestyles and daily recovery nutrition.

One formula. One daily scoop. Both dimensions, together.

The Formula's Ingredients

Six ingredients. Two nutritional territories.

Each ingredient in this formula belongs to one of the two dimensions — gut or muscle — that the gut-muscle axis concept brings together.

01

Amino Acid · Muscle Dimension

L-Glutamine

L-Glutamine is an amino acid with a long history in sports nutrition and active lifestyle supplementation. It is among the most studied amino acids in the context of daily training and recovery, and is widely included in formulas designed for active individuals. Its presence here anchors the formula's muscle-facing nutritional profile.

02

Structural Protein · Muscle Dimension

Hydrolyzed Bovine Collagen

Hydrolyzed bovine collagen delivers collagen peptides in a highly soluble form — well-suited to a powder format. Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the body, and bovine-sourced hydrolyzed collagen is one of the most widely used collagen types in daily supplement formulas for active and aging adults.

03

Prebiotic Fiber · Gut Dimension

Organic Tapioca Fiber

Organic tapioca fiber serves as the formula's prebiotic source — a fiber type that has gained recognition in digestive wellness discussions for its role in supporting the conditions that gut microorganisms require. Derived from cassava root, it contributes a digestive-friendly fiber component to the formula.

04

Botanical · Gut Dimension

Aloe Vera Inner Leaf Powder

Aloe vera has been used in traditional wellness practices for centuries and has more recently entered nutritional supplement formulations in its inner leaf form. The inner leaf — distinct from the latex-containing outer leaf — is the portion used in digestive wellness contexts, and is the form present in this formula.

05

Probiotic Strain · Gut Dimension

Bacillus coagulans — 2 Billion CFU

Bacillus coagulans is a spore-forming probiotic strain that has attracted attention in sports nutrition and active lifestyle discussions. Its spore-forming characteristic makes it notably stable in powder formats — a practical consideration for a formula designed for daily mixing.

06

Mineral · Gut Dimension

Zinc Bisglycinate

Zinc bisglycinate is a chelated form of zinc, pairing the mineral with the amino acid glycine for a form frequently discussed in nutritional research. Zinc is a mineral that plays a role across a wide range of daily physiological processes, and its bisglycinate form is among the more recognized mineral chelates in the supplement category.

Format & Usage

A daily powder designed for routine.

Mix one scoop with water or your preferred beverage. Each bottle provides approximately 30 servings.

Flavor

Chocolate Brownie

Made with Dutch cocoa and no artificial flavors — a daily ritual that fits into any routine, morning or post-training.

Usage

One scoop. Any time.

Mix one scoop with water or your preferred beverage. Well-suited for post-training, morning routines, or active recovery days.

Supply

30-Day Supply

Each bottle contains approximately 30 servings — a full month of daily gut and muscle nutrition in one formula.

Probiotic Strain

Bacillus coagulans

A spore-forming probiotic strain selected for its stability in powder format — suited to daily mixing and active lifestyle routines.

Quality & Formulation

The standard behind the formula.

Non-GMO Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Soy-Free Manufactured in the USA ~30 Servings

Formulated without dairy, soy, or gluten. Non-GMO. Manufactured in the USA in a cGMP-certified facility with global ingredients. CFU count is measured at time of manufacture and may naturally vary over time.

On the Research

What the literature has explored.

The gut-muscle axis has been the subject of a growing body of published nutritional and physiological research. Two references are shared here as educational context.

Published Research Reference · Gut–Muscle Axis

"Research has examined the reciprocal relationship between gut microbiota and skeletal muscle, exploring how the gut microbiome may influence muscle mass and physical function — and how physical activity, in turn, affects the microbial composition of the gut."

Published Research Reference · Muscle–Gut Endocrine Connection

"Reviews of the gut–muscle axis have explored the endocrine role of skeletal muscle — including the release of myokines that may influence gut microbiota composition — highlighting the bidirectional nature of the relationship between muscle and the digestive system."
