5 Ways Meati Supports Gut Health and Overall Wellness

Meati makes healthy eating simple by using mycelium, a whole-food microprotein that’s naturally rich in fibre, protein, and essential nutrients. Its clean, nutrient-dense profile gives your body the fuel it needs to feel strong, energized, and balanced from the inside out.

Stick around to explore five ways Meati supports gut health and overall wellness, from improving digestion and microbiome balance to strengthening immunity, metabolism, and steady energy.

 

1. Promotes Healthy Digestion with High Fiber Content

Your gut’s going to love this: one Meati Classic Cutlet provides about 25% of your daily fiber needs.

The fiber in Meati’s juicy cuts comes directly from its mycelium, which helps keep your system running smoothly and supports overall digestive health:

  • It helps maintain regular bowel movements and supports smooth digestion.

  • It helps control cholesterol and blood sugar levels, promoting overall gut health.

  • It creates lasting fullness, which supports healthy weight management.

 

2. Supports a Balanced Gut Microbiome

Your gut is full of tiny helpers called good bacteria. They help break down food, absorb nutrients, and support your immune system.

The fibre in Meati’s mycelium feeds your good bacteria. When they get enough fibre, they grow and produce helpful chemicals called short-chain fatty acids. These chemicals keep your gut strong and support smooth digestion. 

Scientists have tested this idea. In one trial, people swapped white bread for a high-fibre bread. After the swap, they had more kinds of good bacteria and more of the microbes that make those helpful chemicals. That shows how adding fibre to your diet can improve gut health.

 

3. Provides Complete, Easily Digestible Protein

Amino acids are the tiny building blocks that make up protein and help your body grow, heal, and stay energized. 

Meati provides all nine essential amino acids your body cannot make on its own, giving you a clean, complete source of protein that supports your body:

  • Helps your muscles grow and repair after activity

  • Keeps your energy steady throughout the day

  • Supports healthy tissues and metabolism over time

Fun Fact: Meati scores a perfect 1.0 on the PDCAAS scale, proving your body can fully digest and use its protein just as effectively as it would from animal sources.

 

4. Boosts Immunity and Metabolism with Essential Minerals

Meati provides a powerful mix of essential minerals, including zinc, iron, magnesium, potassium, and copper, that work together to support your body’s strength, energy, and overall wellness:

  • Zinc strengthens your immune system and helps maintain a healthy gut lining.

  • Iron supports oxygen flow and prevents fatigue.

  • Magnesium, potassium, and copper help regulate energy, hydration, and healthy cells.

One Meati Classic Steak provides about 40% of your daily zinc needs! That’s a mighty dose of nutrition in one juicy serving.

 

5. Delivers B Vitamins for Energy and Cell Growth

Meati provides key B vitamins like riboflavin, niacin, and folate that keep your body energized and thriving:

  • Riboflavin (vitamin B2) supports healthy cell growth and helps your body turn food into energy.

  • Niacin (vitamin B3) converts nutrients into fuel, keeping your metabolism steady.

  • Folate (vitamin B9) supports red blood cell production and tissue repair, especially during growth.

In fact, one Meati Classic Cutlet provides 100% of your daily folate needs.

 

The Heart-Healthy Advantage

With zero saturated fat and no cholesterol, Meati supports your heart health and keeps your arteries clear. Its β-glucan fiber from mycelium promotes healthy digestion and helps manage cholesterol levels. 

Together, a balanced gut and a strong heart keep inflammation low and your body feeling its best.
