Gut health expert Nattome announced a strategic collaboration with famous Hong Kong actress Michelle Yim – naming her as Nattome Brand Ambassador as the company rolls out its latest gut health foods with black sesame.

Gut health issues are on the rise with The World Health Organisation indicating that 1 in 3 persons is experiencing a digestive disorder at any one time. Meanwhile, media reports indicated that gut diseases, overall, rank the 4th as the principal cause of private hospitalization in Malaysia’s hospitals in 2021.

Jon, who himself had suffered severe gastro acid reflux issues in his earlier working years affirms that gut health is fundamental to overall heath, well-being and quality of life.
“Many gut health solutions in the marketplace are medication-based or possess adulterated ingredients which may not be effective. Through years of research, Nattome’s key products, Stomach Food and R&R (Repair and Relief) are scientifically-researched and crafted with pure and natural ingredients, mainly fermented soy beans derived from Japanese fermentation technology, which consumers can take as a pre breakfast supplementation or as part of one’s daily diet to protect and repair their gut conditions.
Nattome has also released the first clinical study in Malaysia on the efficacy of fermented soy bean for gut health – a research-backed collaborative effort with UCSI University, mid this year.
Currently available in oat and soy bean flavours, a new black sesame flavour is a much-welcomed addition to the Nattome’s product family. Malaysians love black sesame as it is commonly used in salad, dishes, confectionary items and desserts. Black sesame seeds are loaded with fibre, maintains digestive regularity while also addressing digestive concerns like diarrhea and constipation. Black sesame with its rich nutritional profile, provides essential nutrients like calcium, magnesium, and antioxidants, making it an excellent choice for our formula.
The black sesame-based gut health beverage combines superior nutrition with a pleasant taste, making it suitable for anyone seeking a natural solution for digestive balance. Nattome’s focus in harnessing the power of natural foods underscores its dedication to wellness innovation.
Michelle Yim said, “Many of my colleagues and friends suffer from issues like acid reflux and bloating due to irregular eating habits and busy schedules. I am fortunate to have no major issue with my gut as I make it a point to maintain a balanced diet and carry some food with me when I am outside or filming to fulfil hunger pangs and avoid overburdening my stomach.
“To keep my gut healthy, I am believer of going au-naturale and avoid medicines that may have side effects. A balanced diet, regular rest, and proper exercise are vital for gastrointestinal health and overall well-being. Natural food is easier to absorb and helps us improve our health.” she elaborated.
Michelle Yim’s collaboration with Nattome began with a visit to Malaysia and meeting Jon through mutual friends at the end of 2023. “I was inspired by Jon’s story and his commitment to addressing gut issues via our daily foods which aligns with her philosophy of keeping healthy in a natural manner.

I’ve always been interested in promoting healthier lifestyles, and through Nattome’s endorsement, their products are easy to take and absorb, making them ideal for people with fast-paced lives like mine. Drinking Nattome with breakfast keeps me energized throughout the day. I feel more energetic and ready to handle a busy schedule after taking it.” she mentioned.
