Gutstar Probiotics For Gut Health
20 Billion, Sixteen Strains.
One a Day. Not Four.
Plenty of probiotics supplements want two, three or four capsules a day. This one wants one: 20 billion live bacteria across sixteen scientifically studied strains, with fennel and ginger extracts and vitamin B12. Every strain named on the pack. Helps support digestion and the normal function of the intestinal tract.‡ No fridge. Made in the UK, since 2018.

Sixteen, Named. Twenty Billion, Counted.
Numbers get loud on this shelf. Ours comes with the list. All sixteen strains are printed on the pack in full, from Lactobacillus plantarum to Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis, with twenty billion live bacteria between them in one capsule.
You'll never say them aloud. You can check every one before you buy, and take the list to anyone you'd like to ask. They are all in Read the Box.
Each Capsule in Its Own Pocket.
No tub, no scoop, no desiccant sachet rattling about at the bottom. Each capsule is sealed in a blister until you press it out, which means no fridge and nothing to keep dry.
It also means the strip keeps your count. You can see at a glance how the month is going, and when the gaps run most of the way along, the next box is due. It won't remember itself in the morning. That is what the empty pockets are for.
One capsule. Sixteen strains. Nothing to take twice.
The Two Things You'd Reach For Anyway.
Fennel and ginger aren't new. People have kept them in the kitchen for as long as there have been heavy dinners. What's new is having them in the same capsule as the bacteria, at amounts that count: fennel seed extract equivalent to 700mg of whole fennel seed, ginger root extract equivalent to 1,000mg of whole ginger root. Not a garnish.
Helps support digestion and the normal function of the intestinal tract.‡
Why This One.
Because one a day is the whole of it. Sixteen strains at twenty billion is not the cheap way to build a capsule, and neither is putting fennel and ginger in beside them at a weight worth printing. Vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin comes along too, at half your daily reference intake, and it carries more sentences than anything else in here.⁴ Vegan. Made in the UK to GMP standard.
Give It the Box.
A box is thirty capsules, so a box is a month. Nobody knows much at day four. By day thirty you'll have a view, and the strip will be empty, which is how you'll know you gave it a fair go. Miss a day and take the next as usual; there's nothing to catch up.
If it isn't for you, full refund within 30 days, even if it's opened. No forms.
What This Won't Do.
It won't need the fridge. It won't ask for two, three or four a day. And it won't be the cheapest capsule on the shelf, because sixteen strains at twenty billion never are.
How to Take It.
Take one capsule a day, any time that suits you, with a meal or without. If you're taking antibiotics, take it at least 2 to 3 hours before or after them. The course ends. The capsule doesn't have to. People say it's easy to swallow and has no taste. A cupboard, a handbag or a desk drawer will do.
Don't exceed the recommended daily intake. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or under medical supervision, check with your GP first. If your immune system is weakened or you're seriously unwell, speak to your GP before taking live bacteria. Food supplements aren't a substitute for a varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Store in a cool, dry place, out of sight and reach of children.
