¿Por qué Gut Works^® es tan bueno?

Your gut holds trillions of bacteria across hundreds of species, and the balance between them shifts constantly with what you eat, how you sleep, stress, and any antibiotics you have taken. Symptoms show up when that balance tips.

Gut Works^® adds 50 billion live bacteria every day to repopulate your gut microbiome with healthy, active bacteria, helping fight off unwanted and bad bacteria, parasites and organisms.

Most probiotics tell you only the species, like Lactobacillus acidophilus which is a warning sign. Strains within a species behave differently, and research is conducted on specific strains, not species.

Every culture in Gut Works^® is identified to strain level. Lactobacillus rhamnosus LGG and Bifidobacterium lactis BB-12 are among the most heavily researched live culture strains in the world, BB-12 having been tested for bowel habit in 1,248 adults in one of the largest single-strain trials run. Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS-1 was studied in 330 adults with IBS, where it eased abdominal pain three times more than placebo over six weeks.

Bloating is the most common gut complaint, reported by 81% of the 811 adults in our wider gut health survey, and most of it comes down to fermentation. When food reaches your large intestine, bacteria break it down and produce gas as they go. How much gas, and how comfortable you are with it, depends on which bacteria are doing the work.

Among customers in our study who had bloating before starting Gut Works^®, 63% reported relief from it, and 61% reported relief from excessive wind.

Psyllium husk is the seed coat of Plantago ovata, and it is included because it is a soluble fibre that forms a gel when it meets water, which softens and bulks stool if you are constipated, and slows things down and firms them up if you are not. Relief rates from users taking Gut Works^® in our study were high for constipation (56%) and for diarrhoea (66%).

Gut Works^® is a synbiotic rather than simply a probiotic. Live cultures need feeding, and inulin is what feeds them. It is a fibre from chicory root that your own digestive enzymes cannot break down, so it arrives in your large intestine intact and becomes food for the bacteria already living there as well as the ones arriving in your capsule.

This is arguably the most important finding in our study. Effectiveness climbs steadily with how long people have taken Gut Works^®. Among users of under two months, 31% rated Gut Works^® extremely effective. Among those at four months or more the combined positive rating reached 98%.

That gradient is what biology predicts. You are not topping up a nutrient, you are shifting a population of trillions, and incoming strains establish gradually rather than in a single dose. While three quarters of people begin to feel a difference within four weeks, fuller results take 3+ months.

Your gut does not work in isolation. Over 70% of your immune function sits in the gut lining, your gut is connected to your brain via the gut-brain axis, and with your skin via the gut-skin axis.

In our survey of 811 adults, 97% said their gut health affected at least one other area of their wellbeing, most often their energy, their weight and their mood. It is the clearest argument there is for treating the gut as the foundation for daily health.
