GHASA promotes gut health through education, research, and community initiatives. Join our network to transform health across South Africa!
The Gut Health Association of South Africa (GHASA) was created to bring clarity, credibility, and community to one of the most important areas of health: the gut.
South Africans are struggling with rising digestive issues, inflammation, fatigue, and chronic conditions – yet there is no trusted standard, no unified voice, and no clear guidance. GHASA exists to change that. We educate, set industry standards, and support businesses creating products that are truly gut-friendly. Our Gut-Friendly Seal helps the public make better choices, and helps ethical brands stand out from the noise.
GHASA is more than an organisation – it’s a movement to build a healthier nation from the inside out.
For individuals. For businesses. For families. For South Africa.
We let you receive the latest information on Gut Health, as well as offers, tips, and updates.
