Is your gut telling you something?

Bloating. Fatigue. Brain fog. Skin breakouts. These common issues may all trace back to one surprising source: poor gut health.

 

Half of all Australians experience unpleasant gut symptoms at some stage.

 

When your gut microbiome is out of balance—whether due to stress, poor diet, antibiotics, or lifestyle factors—it can affect far more than just your digestion. A struggling gut can weaken your immune system, disrupt hormone levels, and even impact your mood and mental clarity.

 

Over time, bad gut health has been linked to a wide range of issues, including:

  • Persistent digestive discomfort
  • Worsening of autoimmune conditions
  • Food intolerances
  • Anxiety and depression
  • Weight gain and inflammation

 

The good news? Your gut can heal—with the right support. Whether you're dealing with long-standing issues or just starting to notice symptoms, paying attention to your gut could be the key to unlocking better health from the inside out.

What is resistant starch?

Resistant starch is a type of carbohydrate that ‘resists’ digestion in the small intestine and instead ferments in the large intestine. Unlike regular starch, which is broken down into glucose and absorbed into the bloodstream, resistant starch passes through the digestive system largely intact—acting more like a fibre than a carbohydrate.

How it can help you:

  • Aid in digestion: Resistant starch can improve bowel regularity and gut health.
  • Feed gut bacteria: During fermentation, resistant starch produces short-chain fatty acids like butyrate, which support colon health and reduce inflammation.
  • Improve insulin sensitivity: Resistant starch may help regulate blood sugar levels and reduce insulin spikes after meals.
  • Support weight management: Because resistant starch promotes a feeling of fullness, it may help reduce overall food intake.

What some of our particpants have said

I took part in the ur gut® study and wish that more people knew about this opportunity. My personal experience was very positive. The effect of the powder on me included better gut health, feeling full for longer, less mood swings, better sleep quality and, apparently, reduced waist circumference. I mixed the powder with yoghurt+honey or juice and it worked well for me. Weight and body measurements, stool and diet analysis are included which is a bonus if you're curious about your own health

Female Study ParticipantFemale Study ParticipantFrom the clinical trial

After experiencing IBS symptoms for five years since the birth of my first child, I was introduced to ur gut® in October 2024. Living in a busy household with young children, using urgut has been simply achieved by adding it to breakfast cereal each day. After just the first few weeks I noticed a significant reduction in daily IBS symptoms and after years of adhering to a low FODMAP diet, I have been gradually re-introducing some favourite foods back into my diet. Asides from feeling better, what I love the most about urgut is that it’s given me a proactive strategy for managing IBS.

I am just adding it into a routine that I already have, so it makes life easy. And I am feeling better for taking it, so it’s a win win for me.

How to use

Start ur gut® gradually, allowing your body to adjust as you increase your fibre intake. This will prepare you for the Optimisation Program.  

Once you achieve your peak daily fibre serving, continue for a few more days before you transition into the maintenance phase.  

 

 

From here, the Maintenance Program provides constant daily fibre servings to ensure ongoing benefits of taking ur gut®. 

 

 

 Continue taking ur gut® at the maintenance serve of 4 teaspoons (20g) per day to support ongoing gut health in your Lifestyle Program.  

 

 

Listen to your gut

Increasing your dietary fibre intake may cause some temporary gas or bloating, depending on individual sensitivity in the gastrointestinal tract. This usually settles within a few days to a week. 

We recommend starting with a small amount of ur gut® powder and adjusting gradually. You don’t need to follow the recommended intake on the package exactly — take the amount that feels right for you. Everyone’s gut is different, so go at your own pace.
