In 2021, entrepreneur and IBS patient Rudi van der Vlies sought guidance from Dr. Simone Peters (founder of the Mind + Gut Clinic, co-founder of Nerva, and Monash University researcher). During their conversations, Rudi was struck by a startling realisation: despite the widespread impact of gut health issues, no company was fully dedicated to addressing them. Fueled by determination, he boldly declared, “If no one else is stepping up for gut health, we will!” And so, TUMME® was born—a company driven by passion, innovation, and the mission to transform lives.

At TUMME®, we’re on a mission to transform lives—one tumme at a time. By 2035, our vision is to improve the gut health of 10 million people facing digestive challenges. How? Through innovative, science-backed products, proven strategies, and a community that truly cares. Together, we’re making gut health simpler, better, and life-changing.

What sets us apart is our belief in a holistic approach to gut health. We understand that lasting results come from combining supplements, dietary strategies, and behavioural therapies. This multidisciplinary focus is at the heart of our mission: to educate, empower, and inspire individuals to take control of their gut health and live their most fulfilling lives.

Each of TUMME® products undergoes a meticulous journey, from conception to formulation, underpinned by the latest scientific research and clinical trials. Our approach is rigorous and evidence based.

"The Science" isn't just words - it's a testament to our dedication to making a tangible difference in the lives of those we serve, grounded in the principles of transparency, trust and transformative health solutions.
