Restore the gut’s housekeeping wave - the step most protocols skip.

No. Motil Restore is not a laxative. It works by supporting the Migrating Motor Complex — the physiological wave that sweeps the small intestine clean between meals — through serotonergic and prokinetic mechanisms. This restores normal motility rhythm rather than forcing or stimulating a bowel response.

Anyone with a history of SIBO recurrence, chronic constipation, slow transit, gastroparesis, IBS-C, post-infectious dysmotility, autonomic dysregulation, or hypothyroidism. Impaired MMC activity is one of the most commonly missed root causes of persistent and recurring SIBO.

Yes — and it's strongly recommended. Motil Restore should ideally be started in Phase 1 and continued throughout Phase 2 (the clearing phase). Without motility support during and after clearing, bacteria recolonize the small intestine. This is one of the most common reasons clients see short-term improvement that doesn't hold.

No. It contains 5-HTP, which is the direct precursor to serotonin. 5-HTP crosses into the enteric nervous system where it is converted to serotonin locally — supporting gut motility without the systemic effects of supplemental serotonin. Use caution if taking SSRIs or other serotonergic medications and consult your prescriber.

For SIBO recurrence prevention, the recommended duration is 3–6 months post-clearing. For chronic motility dysfunction without a SIBO history, it can be used as an ongoing maintenance supplement. Most clients notice meaningful improvement within 2–4 weeks.
