When Siff Haider and Nish Samantray launched Arrae in 2020, they noticed there wasn’t a complete solution for bloating—even though it’s something almost everyone deals with. “I’ve never been to a girls’ dinner where bloating didn’t come up in conversation,” Haider says. Focused on creating “sexy solutions for unsexy problems,” as she calls it, the husband-and-wife team wanted to make talking about bloating more normal. “It lightens the mood around something that used to feel embarrassing,” she explains. “We wanted to bring that same openness to gut health.”

While bloating is universal, we’ve only recently started discussing it openly. “It’s one of those things we’ve accepted as normal, but that doesn’t make it any less uncomfortable,” Haider adds.

Registered dietitian Sahar Berjis, CEO of Inner Health & Wellness, notes: “Bloating is a frequent concern I hear from clients, and it’s rarely just about food. It’s also about how you eat, what’s happening in your gut, and sometimes even stress levels.” Beyond common intolerances like gluten or lactose, bloating can stem from eating habits, digestion issues, or internal imbalances.

Amy Shapiro, another registered dietitian and founder of Real Nutrition, lists common causes like poor digestion (especially of high-FODMAP carbs), swallowing air (from eating too fast, chewing gum, or drinking carbonated beverages), low stomach acid, insufficient digestive enzymes, hormonal shifts, or leaky gut—all leading to that familiar fullness, cramps, and a swollen stomach.

Over the years, countless remedies have been suggested—eating food in a certain order, dry brushing, following a nutritionist’s holistic plan—but nothing has gained as much traction as bloating supplements.

Among current remedies, few have made as big an impact as Arrae’s Bloat. Sure, the packaging is sleek (Haider jokes it’s chic enough to display on a balcony), but what really stands out is the formula. The supplement uses six clean ingredients to relieve bloating and support digestion.

Bromelain, an enzyme from pineapples, takes the lead. “Think of it as a cleanup crew for that steak you ate too quickly,” Berjis says. “It breaks down protein, which can help with post-meal bloating after heavy or high-protein meals. Enzymes give your digestion a boost, especially if you have low stomach acid—something I often see in stressed clients.”

The supplement also includes five herbs to enhance digestive benefits:

– Ginger Root: Shapiro calls this a “carminative herb” that eases nausea, stimulates digestion, and relaxes the GI tract.
– Peppermint: Berjis dubs it the “cool girl of herbs” for its ability to relax GI muscles and reduce spasms, which Shapiro notes can ease gas-related bloating.
– Dandelion Root: Shapiro explains this acts as a natural diuretic, helping with water retention and supporting liver function.

Slippery Elm: Known for its soothing properties, slippery elm acts like a gentle balm for the digestive tract—especially helpful for irritated or inflamed stomachs, according to Shapiro.

Lemon Balm: “This herb is often used to ease stress-related digestive issues,” Shapiro explains. “It has mild calming and antispasmodic effects,” which can help with bloating caused by anxiety or stress.

Experts say this blend is ideal for relieving gas and bloating from food intolerances, overeating, PMS, water retention, or stress-related indigestion. What makes Arrae’s supplement stand out is how quickly it works. “The mix of digestive enzymes and herbal antispasmodics means it can start working within 30 to 60 minutes in many cases,” Shapiro notes. It’s one of the fastest-acting bloating supplements available, which explains why so many people swear by it.

“That kind of instant relief makes people want to share it—with friends, on social media, and beyond,” says Haider. The formula has earned hundreds of five-star reviews on Amazon and even more praise on TikTok. Hailey Bieber even included it in her exclusive Vogue beauty edit as one of her must-have wellness products.

Friends and colleagues have been raving about it for years. Gabrielle Reich, a creative producer who frequently travels for Vogue’s YouTube content, always keeps a bottle in her carry-on. “I drink a lot of water on flights to avoid getting sick, but I often land feeling bloated from water retention,” she says. “I take these pills and feel better within a couple of hours.” Associate producer Lea Donenberg also loves it for reducing puffiness. “After learning more about how the body changes during different menstrual phases, I can’t get through my luteal phase without Arrae Bloat,” she adds. “The ingredients help balance my digestion perfectly.”

For me, it made a noticeable difference after overeating. If I have too much pasta or sweets, my stomach becomes sensitive—leaving me feeling tight and uncomfortably full. But within about an hour of taking the supplement, my symptoms fade almost completely, and my stomach feels much calmer. Without it, I’d likely be uncomfortable until the next morning.

However, this isn’t meant to be a daily, long-term solution—it’s best for occasional use. “Think of supplements as first aid for bloating—great for quick relief but not a substitute for long-term gut health,” Berjis explains. Shapiro adds, “I often recommend this for travel, big meals, or dining out when you have less control over what you eat. But for chronic or painful bloating, I’d suggest seeing a doctor.”

As Haider puts it, no supplement alone can fix underlying health issues. “Real change comes from a holistic lifestyle shift,” she says. “A supplement is just one tool in your wellness toolkit. If you’re dealing with ongoing digestive problems, you should also look at your diet, stress levels, and habits. This can definitely help, but it’s not the only step.”
