With these ingredients in mind, experts say this is best suited to treat gas or bloating related to food intolerance, overeating, PMS, water retention, or stress-related indigestion. The real beauty of the Arrae supplement, though, is that it provides relief fast. “The combination of digestive enzymes and herbal antispasmodics means it can work within 30 to 60 minutes in many cases,” Shapiro says. It’s certainly the quickest-acting bloat supplement on the market, so it makes sense why all the gals turn to it when in a pinch. “That kind of immediate impact makes people want to share it —with their friends, on social media, and beyond,” Haider says. The formula has racked up hundreds of five-star reviews on Amazon and even more TikTok approvals. Hailey Bieber even handpicked it in her exclusive Vogue beauty edit as one of the few wellness products she swears by.

I’ve had friends and colleagues sing its praises for years now. Creative producer Gabrielle Reich, who is constantly jetting across the globe to film Vogue’s YouTube content, considers it a must-have, keeping the brand’s Carry-On capsule case full at all times. “I hydrate a ton on flights to prevent myself from getting sick but then always end up landing and feeling bloated from retaining water,” she tells me. “I take the bloat pills and feel better within a couple of hours.” Associate producer Lea Donenberg loves it, too, to address puffiness. “I just learned a ton about female cycle patterns and how the body changes during each phase,” she adds. “Now I cannot survive my luteal phase without Arrae Bloat. The ingredients inside combat all this, leaving me with a perfectly synched digestion cycle.” For me, I found it significantly improved my bloating symptoms after overindulging. Following too much pasta or one too many sweet treats, my stomach gets quite sensitive—resulting in a feeling of tightness and a distended, rumbling tummy. Nearing the hour mark after taking it, my symptoms subside almost completely and my body feels calmer—an impressive result, considering that without Bloat I’d feel discomfort through the next morning.

However, it’s important to note that this is not meant to be a daily, long-term solution but used occasionally. “Think of supplements as your bloat first responders—great for in-the-moment relief, but not a replacement for long-term gut healing,” Berjis echoes. “I often recommend this product when my clients are traveling or to prepare for bigger meals, dinner parties (where they have less control over what they eat), or when eating meals out,” says Shapiro. “For my clients who experience persistent or painful bloating, we will take a different approach and I may recommend seeing a doctor or specialist.”

As Haider puts it, no supplement can take you from unwell to well. “That kind of transformation requires a holistic lifestyle shift, she says. “A supplement is just that—a supplement. It should be one tool in a broader wellness tool kit. If someone is dealing with ongoing digestive issues, they need to evaluate their diet, stress levels, and habits. Bloat can absolutely help and often does, but it’s not the only step.”
