Gut Health

True Gut Health is a scientifically formulated blend of naturally derived ingredients to support microbiome diversity and nurture a healthy feeling gut.

The gut microbiome refers to the trillions of living microbiota (gut bugs) that inhabit our gut, all the way from your mouth to our stomach and through our intestines, all the way out the other end. Microbiota are the bacteria, pathogens and other tiny microorganisms colonising our gastrointestinal tract. Microbiota diversity and the level of harmony in which they live can correlate with the health of our gut microbiome.

True Gut health will encourage the health and diversity of your gut by supporting a healthy microbiome.

The ingredients used in True Gut health are naturally derived. It does not contain any artificial colours or additives.

Adequate dietary fibre is essential for proper functioning of the gut. The National Australian Government guidelines recommends 25-30gm a day of fibre for adults. True Gut Health provides a good source and amount of fibre per serve to ensure that you are well on your way to supporting the recommended daily fibre intake from various sources of fibre. To be kind to your stomach it is best to consume this fibre intake throughout the day, as large doses at one time can cause some digestive upset. If you are increasing your current intake to meet your daily need, slow and steady is always advised and remember to also up your water intake

GOS stands for galacto-oligosaccharides, which are chains of galactose sugars. These compounds are found naturally in certain foods and move through the digestive tract in-tact, as there is no human enzyme capable of breaking down these bonds. They move through the gut unabsorbed and act as food for the growth of our good bacteria, such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus species.

No, True Gut Health is not dairy-free or vegan friendly, as the GOS in this product is derived from milk. We chose to use the milk-derived GOS because other sources such as legume-derived GOS can often be more likely to cause gas and bloating than milk-derived GOS. True Gut Health is gluten-free and keto friendly.

Yes, True Gut Health is low in FODMAPS (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols). If you are following a Low FODMAP Diet, you can incorporate this product into your FODMAP friendly meal plan.

Not all gums are equal. Xanthum gum is made by the fermentation of a carbohydrate and the bacteria Xanthomonas campestris, to provide a natural substance that helps give True Gut Health its enjoyable texture. We never use any artificial ingredients in our products, which is why we chose to use a small amount of Xanthum gum to create another great tasting product that supports your health from the inside out.

Everyone’s digestive system is unique and has a different tolerance to prebiotics and fibre depending on their health status, diet and lifestyle. Our dosage recommendations are 1 tsp 1-2 times a day e.g. 1 tsp in the morning and 1 tsp at night. However, if you know that you have a particularly sensitive or reactive gut then we recommend starting at ½ tsp once a day, building your tolerance gradually. This will minimise any stomach upset such as gas and bloating, whilst still giving you the benefits of the product. If you still have concerns or are working with a health practitioner on your digestive complaints, then we recommend consulting with them to see if this product is suitable.

We don't recommend using this product if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. It's best to check with your doctor before taking any supplements during this time.
