For years, Rhubarb Complex® has been one of our most-loved supplements. Trusted across the UK, it has earned its reputation as a gentle, plant-based formula that fits naturally into daily life and supports a comfortable digestive rhythm.
With the introduction of Rhubarb Complex® AM, many customers have asked the same questions:
What is the difference between the two?
Should they be taken together?
Why might someone want support through the day as well as in the evening?
This article explains everything clearly, helping both existing Rhubarb Complex® users and new customers understand why the AM and PM formulas work best when used as a simple daily routine.
The Origins of Rhubarb Complex®
Rhubarb Complex® was originally developed as a clinic-based herbal blend made from ingredients long valued in traditional practice. Each plant was chosen for its history of use in supporting natural digestive balance and overall wellbeing.
The formula includes:
-
Rhubarb
-
Ginger
-
Capsicum
-
Aloe
It is designed to be taken just before the evening meal, offering gentle support as part of a regular routine. Over time, it became one of our most popular products, with many customers choosing to take it daily.
Why We Created Rhubarb Complex® AM
After years of feedback, customers began asking for daytime support to complement the original evening formula. Many people told us they wished there was something lighter they could take earlier in the day to help maintain comfort and balance between meals.
Rhubarb Complex® AM was created in response to this demand. It is not a replacement for the original formula. Instead, it was designed to work alongside it, offering a daytime-friendly option that completes a natural 24-hour routine.
The Difference Between AM and PM (A Simple Breakdown)
Rhubarb Complex® (PM)
-
Best taken before the evening meal
-

Rhubarb Complex® AM
-

The two products were designed from the start to work together, not as alternatives.
Using both provides a simple, consistent daily rhythm that many customers find more complete than taking either one alone.
Why Take Both?
This is the most common question we receive, so here is the clearest answer:
Rhubarb Complex® supports your evening routine.
Rhubarb Complex® AM supports your daytime routine.
Together, they offer a full 24-hour cycle of digestive support.
Many customers who begin using both formulas tell us they notice a more steady and predictable sense of balance throughout the day and night. Taking both is not about taking more; it is about taking the right support at the right time.
Your Daily Routine (How to Take Them Together)
To keep things simple, here is the structure most customers follow:
Breakfast or Lunchtime
Take Rhubarb Complex® AM with breakfast, lunch or early afternoon.

This two-step routine supports your body’s natural rhythm from midday to evening without any complexity.
