Bristol University spin-out launches natural solution to gut problems
A food supplement has been launched by a University of Bristol spin-out after ten years of research and development.
The women-led biotech company, Ferryx, has developed a natural solution to improve the quality of life for people who suffer from IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and other gut issues.
Its newly-launched product, Ferrocalm, contains live, friendly bacteria and is gluten-free along with being suitable for vegans, and vegetarians.

The product, developed by the Future Space-based company, has been designed to thrive even during a period of active inflammation when there is excess iron in the body.
Research shows having a healthy gut ties in with our overall happiness and wellbeing, as the gut and the brain communicate through nerves.
The company’s co-founder and CEO, Dr Jenny Bailey, spoke of the positive feedback her team has received on the product. She said: “The launch of Ferrocalm is the culmination of 10 years’ scientific research, all with the aim of helping people to take control of their condition, alleviate their symptoms and live the life they want to lead.
“Throughout the development of this product, I have always said if we can help one person to feel better, enabling them to go to an event that they would otherwise have missed, take part in sports, go to work, or simply enjoy time with family and friends then I will be happy.
“I am delighted to say that we are already seeing some great results from Ferrocalm and we look forward to helping many more people achieve relief from gut conditions.”
In 2022, Ferryx secured £300,000 of seed funding to develop its innovative treatment for gut inflammation.
The cost of one month’s supply of Ferrocalm (30 capsules) is £19.00.
