Press & Media Kit

Working on a gut-health, probiotic, mycotoxin, or supplement-regulation story and need a credible source? This is our standing media kit. Everything below is journalist-usable as written — founder bio, advisory board, the research topics our experts can speak to, the anchor statistics we’ve verified for citation, and direct press contact. We respond to media inquiries within 48 hours, and the founder is generally available for same-week interviews. Fact-checking calls and tear-sheet requests are welcomed.

About Nature’s Journey

Nature’s Journey is a US-based dietary supplement company built around a single product: Complete Gut Defense, a 50-billion-CFU, 15-strain multi-probiotic with prebiotic FOS, Saccharomyces boulardii, mastic gum, NAC, and methylated cofactor vitamins (D3, K2-MK7, B12, P-5-P, L-5-MTHF, magnesium glycinate) in a single daily capsule. The company was founded on the premise that the typical multi-probiotic shelf is over-segmented — that most adults are better served by one well-formulated daily product than by triaging between three or four single-purpose SKUs. The formula is reviewed against current peer-reviewed research by the company’s editorial and scientific advisory team before any claim is published, manufactured in a cGMP-certified, FDA-registered US facility, and third-party tested for identity, potency, purity, and heavy-metal contamination on every production lot. Founder Hunter DeCaro built the company after his own family’s mold-exposure recovery exposed gaps in the supplement market, particularly around S. boulardii availability at meaningful doses. The full founder bio and editorial standards are at our story and editorial standards.

The experts we can put you in touch with

Our scientific advisory board reviews every formulation decision, every health-claim page on the site, and any product reference in editorial content before publication. Members are available for journalist interviews on the topics within their respective disciplines, and bios and high-resolution headshots are released on request once a story is confirmed. The advisory board page at scientific-advisory-board lists the current roster and their published research areas. The disciplines currently represented:

• Functional medicine & integrative gastroenterology — multi-strain probiotic protocols, post-antibiotic recovery, SIBO/IBS structure-function research, microbiome diversity literature.
• Clinical microbiology & probiotic strain research — strain identity verification, CFU-counting methodology, the difference between species-level and strain-level claims in commercial probiotic labels.
• Mycology & mycotoxin biology — mycotoxin exposure routes, biomarker testing limitations, the mechanistic basis for S. boulardii in mycotoxin support.
• Nutritional biochemistry & cofactor methylation — the role of methylated B-vitamins (B12, folate, P-5-P) in gut-axis health, MTHFR variants and folate metabolism, magnesium glycinate vs other forms.
• Regulatory affairs & FDA structure/function compliance — what the FDA actually permits supplement brands to claim, where the line between structure/function and disease claims sits in practice, recent FDA warning letters and what they signal for the category.

For interview requests, email Contact@NaturesJourneyHealth.com with the topic, outlet, deadline, and rough question set. We’ll match the request to the right advisor, confirm availability within 48 hours, and send bio + headshot in the same reply.

Research topics we can speak to

These are the five anchor topics our team has the deepest expertise in and where our editorial library is most defensible. If your story sits inside one of these areas, we can usually turn a quote around in a single business day. For each topic, the relevant editorial deep-dive is linked — useful as a fact-checking reference even if you don’t plan to quote the page directly.

• Probiotic strain identity vs species labels. Most retail probiotics label species (e.g., L. acidophilus) without disclosing the strain (e.g., L. acidophilus NCFM®). The clinical research is on strains, not species — making this one of the most under-reported facts about the category. Reference: why multi-strain probiotics.
• The mycotoxin/gut connection. Mechanistic literature on how mycotoxin exposure (from water-damaged buildings, contaminated grain crops, mold-affected coffee) interacts with the gut microbiome, and why S. boulardii is over-represented in the academic literature on mycotoxin support. Reference: mycotoxins and gut health.
• FDA structure/function compliance for the supplement category. What the FDA permits dietary supplements to say (structure/function claims under DSHEA), what they don’t (disease-treatment or cure claims), and what the recent enforcement trend looks like. Useful background for any supplement-industry story. Reference: editorial standards.
• GLP-1 medications and gut-side-effect management. Patients on semaglutide and tirzepatide are reporting gut-microbiome shifts and digestive comfort issues; the literature on multi-strain probiotic support alongside GLP-1 therapy is still early but actively expanding. Reference: GLP-1 and gut health.
• Postbiotic research and the next regulatory frontier. Postbiotics (heat-killed bacterial fragments, short-chain fatty acids, metabolites) are emerging as a distinct category from probiotics and prebiotics, with their own regulatory and labeling questions. Useful angle for forward-looking category coverage. Reference: postbiotics complete guide.
