DAILY GUT HEALTH BOOST

How do I prepare my Daily Gut Health Boost?

Simply stir 10g of Daily Gut Health Boost powder into 125 ml (1/2 a cup) of chilled water.

10g is 2 dessert spoons, but spoons differ in size, so weigh if you can.

It’s ok to leave it for a couple of hours in the fridge if you wish, but re-stir before drinking.

What’s great about PHGG?

We love PHGG (partially hydrolysed guar gum), both for its gut health benefits and the way it behaves when dissolved in water.

We conducted a systematic review of the medical literature about PHGG. Trials have shown it has benefits for people suffering from a wide range of gut conditions, from babies with diarrhoea through to elderly people suffering from chronic constipation. It is particularly helpful for people suffering from IBS.

It helps food move through the gut at just the right pace, and promotes regularity without causing bloating.

It is a prebiotic fibre and promotes digestive balance. It increases Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli levels.

PHGG fermentation by the microbiome results in short chain fatty acids such as butyrate, which provide energy for the digestive tract.

PHGG works beautifully in our drinks because it dissolves easily in water, and doesn’t have any flavour.

Why Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856?

Similarly, there is a wealth of clinical evidence backing the gut health benefits of the probiotic Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856.

It contributes live beneficial bacteria and supports the health and diversity of the gut microbiome.

It is also reduces irritable bowel discomfort and bloating and restores digestive health. For more information about Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856 read our recent blog.

Are they suitable for vegans?

Yes, they are suitable for people following a vegan diet.

Are they gluten-free?

Yes. Both our Daily Gut Health Boost drink mixes have been tested by a WA-based NATA accredited lab so you can be confident that they have no detectable gluten.

What about FODMAPs?

If you follow a low-FODMAP diet you’ll spot the low FODMAP fruit in our Greens+ and Berries+ Daily Gut Health Boost drink mixes.

Now you can also enjoy a tropical boost. Whilst many tropical juices are off the table for fodmappers, we’ve carefully balanced the tropical fruit powders in our Tropical+ Boost to ensure it is also low in FODMAPs.

How often should I have it?

Daily. We recommend a daily ritual of Superflora Gut Health Boost before breakfast.

Consistency pays off. While we’d love to spruik instant impact, studies have shown that it can take a few weeks for the full benefits of PHGG and Bacillius coagulans MTCC 5856 to kick in for you and your microbiome. That’s why there’s 30 serves per pack.

If you aren’t used to fibre, you may wish to start with a half serve for the first week and then increase to the full 10g.

It’s also a good idea to increase your water intake whenever you increase your fibre.

How is it different from the Superflora Gut Health Shakes?

Both the Daily Gut Health Boost and our Gut Health Shakes contain fibre and probiotics.

However, our gut health shakes have a special blend of fibres, not just PHGG. They also have high quality, gut-friendly protein and ingredients like coconut milk powder and lucuma to make them more balanced and substantial.

This means the shakes are great as the base of a low-FODMAP meal - add milk and even a little low FODMAP fruit for a fabulous, filling smoothie for breakfast or lunch.

Can I add it to the shakes?

No, we don’t recommend adding the Daily Gut Health Boost to our Gut Health Shakes. It will make the shakes too thick.

You could have the Daily Gut Health Boost before breakfast and then a shake at lunch time. But if you’re taking both, make sure you build up gradually if you’re not used to this amount of fibre.

What does it taste like ?

The Berries+ Daily Gut Heath Boost drink tastes like a fabulous mix of ripe raspberries and strawberries.

The Greens+ Daily Gut Health Boost drink provides a citrusy mix of lemon and lime, with a just a hint of greens.

Tropical+ Daily Gut Health Boost is a luscious cocktail of mango, passionfruit, pineapple and more!

Do they contain artificial sweeteners?

No, no, no! Many artificial sweeteners, especially those containing polyols, sorbitol and mannitol can trigger IBS symptoms causing cramping, bloating, flatulence and diarrhea. So we’ve avoided all the nasties. Our shakes are sweetened naturally by a little maple syrup sugar and the fruit.
