Probiotics is the everyday word for live bacteria, and a probiotics supplement is what most people call a capsule like this one. Gutstar gives you 20 billion live bacteria across sixteen scientifically studied strains in one capsule a day, with fennel and ginger extracts and vitamin B12, sealed in a blister with no refrigeration required.

Probiotics is the everyday word for live bacteria taken as a supplement or eaten in foods like yoghurt and kefir. In Great Britain the word describes what a product contains rather than what it does. Gutstar carries 20 billion live bacteria across sixteen named strains in one capsule.

Colony forming units, the standard way of counting live bacteria. Gutstar provides 20 x 10⁹ CFU per capsule, which is 20 billion, spread across sixteen strains.

Probiotics are live bacteria. Prebiotics are fibres that are not alive, such as inulin or psyllium. Gutstar is the first kind: sixteen strains of live bacteria in one capsule. If you are after fibre, Wellgard Clear Fibre and 14 Day Gut Ritual are the other side of the shelf.

The sixteen strains are selected for stability and the capsule is sealed in a blister rather than a tub, which is what keeps them steady at room temperature until you take them.

Yes, in the everyday sense: sixteen strains of live bacteria in one vegan capsule, all named on the pack.

Twenty billion (20 x 10⁹ CFU), across sixteen strains, all named on the pack and listed in full under Read the Box.

Lactobacillus plantarum, Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis, Lactobacillus reuteri, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium breve, Lactobacillus casei, Streptococcus thermophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Lactobacillus fermentum, Lactobacillus helveticus, Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis, Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus salivarius and Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis. All sixteen are named on the pack in full.

Yes. All sixteen have published research behind them, and they are named on the pack in full rather than hidden inside a blend.

Because the twenty billion and all sixteen strains are in the one capsule. Many probiotics supplements split the same idea across two, three or four, which is more to swallow and more to remember.

Thirty. One a day, so a box of Gutstar is a month.

A box. Thirty capsules is a month, which is long enough to have a view. If it isn't for you, there's a full refund within 30 days, even if it's opened.

Fennel seed extract equivalent to 700mg whole fennel seed, and ginger root extract equivalent to 1,000mg whole ginger root. Provides fennel and ginger extracts which helps support digestion and the normal function of the intestinal tract.

At 1.25µg per capsule, half the daily reference intake, as methylcobalamin. Vitamin B12 contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to normal energy-yielding metabolism, to normal psychological function, to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to the normal function of the immune system. Every wording available to it is under Read the Box.

A cool, dry cupboard. No fridge needed, because each capsule is sealed in its own blister pocket until you press it out. Keep it out of sight and reach of children.

Any time that suits you, with or without food. Gutstar is one capsule a day. The same time each day is the easiest habit to keep.

Yes. Take it at least 2 to 3 hours before or after your antibiotic. If you are on other medication or under medical supervision, ask your GP first.

Whichever you will remember. There is no instruction to take it at a particular time, with food or without, so the same time each day is the thing that matters rather than which time.

Very little to notice, since it is one small capsule with no taste. Some people take a few days to settle into any live bacteria supplement. Take one a day, do not exceed it, and speak to your GP if you have any concerns.

Yes, one capsule a day is how it is meant to be taken. Many people carry on past the first box; the subscription exists for exactly that. Do not exceed one a day.

Take the next one as usual. There is nothing to catch up.

Anyone pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or under medical supervision. If your immune system is weakened or you are seriously unwell, speak to your GP before taking live bacteria.

Yes. The capsule shell and everything inside it.

None. The full ingredient list is under Read the Box, so you can check it against anything specific you need to look out for.

People say so, and that it has no taste. It is one small capsule a day.

In a blister pack, each capsule sealed in its own pocket until you press it out. Nothing to keep dry, and the strip keeps your count as the month goes on.

Yes. Plenty of people take the two together, and there is nothing in either that gets in the other's way.

Subscribe and Save takes 15% off every delivery, renewing at the interval you choose. You can pause, skip or cancel in your account.

Full refund within 30 days, even if the box has been opened. If something does not suit you, stop taking it and speak to your GP if you are concerned.
