The numbers
Most of us are about 12 g short, every day.
UK adults are advised to get around 30 g of dietary fibre a day. The average adult gets around 18 g, roughly 60% of the recommendation, and the British Nutrition Foundation puts the share of adults who actually hit 30 g at about 4%. A full daily dose of GUTSHIFT is 6.3 g of fibre, which is 21% of the 30 g guideline and just over half the 12 g most people are short by.

The taste question
Orange, not chalk.
Psyllium has a reputation, and most of it is deserved. Plain husk powder is beige, it thickens fast and it tastes of very little. GUTSHIFT is flavoured with natural orange and has no artificial colours, so it mixes into a light drink rather than a gritty one. Stir it, drink it straight away, and it goes down like a soft orange squash.

The comparison
More than plain psyllium husk.
Plain husk is fibre and nothing else. GUTSHIFT adds a named live culture strain and four Ayurvedic botanicals, all weighed in milligrams, in a natural orange drink you will still enjoy in week four. Here is how the three compare.
| Attribute | GUTSHIFT | Plain psyllium husk | Typical fibre powder |
|---|---|---|---|
| Format | Flavoured powder, mixed in water or juice | Unflavoured powder | Flavoured powder or sachet |
| Fibre per daily dose | 6.3 g | About 4 g per 5 g serving | About 5 g per sachet |
| Fibre content | 63 g per 100 g | 75 to 85 g per 100 g | Varies |
| Live cultures | 4 billion CFU, strain named on pack | None | 1 to 5 billion CFU |
| Botanicals | Four, weighed in mg | None | Usually none |
| Doses printed in mg | Yes, all five ingredients | Single ingredient | Rarely |
| Flavour | Natural orange, no artificial colours | Unflavoured | Varies |
| Sugars | 0.18 g per serving | Negligible | Varies |
| Money-back guarantee | 90 days | Varies | Varies |
What the month looks like
One pouch. Thirty days.
Here is the arithmetic.
Day 1
Your first two servings. 6.3 g of fibre, 4 billion CFU of live cultures, and you will know within one glass whether you like the orange.
Day 7
Seven days in, 44.1 g of fibre you were not drinking before. Most people have settled into a morning and evening slot by now.
Day 30
The pouch is empty. Sixty servings, 189 g of fibre, 120 billion CFU. Buy 2 Get 1 Free takes you to day 90.
Figures are the arithmetic of the label dose, not a prediction of results.

Questions
Everything else, answered.
What exactly is GUTSHIFT?
A high-fibre daily powder. Each 5 g serving carries 3,575 mg of psyllium husk powder, 2 billion CFU of live Bacillus coagulans SNZ 1969®, and four Ayurvedic botanicals: triphala, liquorice, ginger and cinnamon. It is high in fibre at 63 g per 100 g, low in sugars, flavoured with natural orange, and made without artificial colours. A 300 g pouch holds 60 servings.
How much do I take, and when?
Two teaspoons, 5 g, stirred into 250 ml of water or juice and drunk immediately. Twice a day, morning and evening. That is a 10 g daily dose, which gives you 6.3 g of fibre and 4 billion CFU of live cultures. Do not take it dry, drink plenty of water through the day, and do not take it immediately before going to bed. Do not exceed the stated dose.
How long does a pouch last?
60 servings per pouch. At the full dose of two servings a day, that is exactly 30 days, so one pouch is one month. Buy 2 Get 1 Free is three pouches, 180 servings, 90 days. At £34.00, Pack of 1 works out at £1.13 a day. At £68.00, Buy 2 Get 1 Free works out at £0.76 a day, and less on subscription.
Does it taste chalky?
No. It is flavoured with natural orange and has no artificial colours, so it mixes into a light drink rather than a gritty one. Stir it into cold water or juice and drink it straight away, and it drinks like a soft orange squash. If you leave it standing it will thicken, which is why the instruction is to drink it immediately.
How is this different from a bag of plain psyllium husk?
Plain psyllium husk is fibre and nothing else, it is unflavoured, and it is a lot cheaper per gram. GUTSHIFT is psyllium husk plus a named live culture strain at 4 billion CFU per daily dose, plus four Ayurvedic botanicals, all weighed in milligrams on the pouch, in a natural orange powder. If you want fibre on its own and the taste does not bother you, plain husk is the cheaper choice and we would rather say so. There is a full side-by-side comparison further up this page.
What is Bacillus coagulans SNZ 1969®?
A spore-forming bacterial culture. GUTSHIFT contains 2 billion CFU per 5 g serving and 4 billion CFU across the full daily dose. We list the strain and the count on the pouch so you can see exactly what is in it and how much.
Can I take it if I am pregnant, breastfeeding, or on medication?
Speak to your GP first. Leave at least 2 hours between GUTSHIFT and any other medicines. GUTSHIFT is not intended for under-18s, and it is not suitable for anyone with difficulty swallowing, a narrowing of the oesophagus, or any bowel obstruction. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet and healthy lifestyle.
When will it arrive, and what does delivery cost?
Order before 5pm and your order is usually with you within two working days.
What if it is not for me?
You have 90 days. If GUTSHIFT is not right for you, contact us within 90 days of your order and we will refund you. That is long enough to finish a whole pouch and decide properly.
