Cómo Gut Works® apoya tu cerebro

Nuestro intestino se conoce como nuestro "segundo cerebro". Nuestro intestino y nuestro cerebro están conectados por una combinación del "nervio vago" y hormonas, lo que se conoce como "eje intestino-cerebro". Los centros emocionales y cognitivos de su cerebro están conectados con su microbioma intestinal y su función gastrointestinal. La investigación clínica muestra que la salud de nuestras bacterias intestinales es vital para esta conexión y, a su vez, para nuestro estado de ánimo, nuestra salud mental, nuestra capacidad para controlar el estrés, nuestra capacidad para concentrarnos y concentrarnos, y mucho más. Más información en 'Por qué tu intestino es tu segundo cerebro'.

¿Cómo tomarlo?

  1. Take 1 capsule each day

    Take one capsule daily, with or without food. Two can be taken if you need them.

  2. Take consistently

    Gut Works® builds. Take it every day for at least 60 days, and expect it to keep improving well past that.

  3. Adjust when needed

    Take your capsule at least 20 minutes before or after anything hot, and keep the pouch sealed away from warmth, sunlight and moisture, because live cultures are sensitive to heat.

¿Cómo funciona?

Gut Works® es nuestro prebiótico y probiótico avanzado que contiene 50 mil millones de bacterias beneficiosas para el intestino (UFC) que están científicamente estudiadas para brindar apoyo diario a la salud intestinal, la digestión, la salud mental y la salud inmunológica. Además de los problemas relacionados con el intestino, Gut Works® apoya directamente su 'eje intestino-cerebro' que alimenta el enfoque, la cognición y la concentración de su cerebro y su capacidad para afrontar el estrés y su salud inmunológica.

Repopulating your microbiome

Your gut holds trillions of bacteria across hundreds of species, and the balance between them shifts constantly with what you eat, how you sleep, stress, and any antibiotics you have taken. Symptoms show up when that balance tips.

Gut Works® adds 50 billion live bacteria every day to repopulate your gut microbiome with healthy, active bacteria, helping fight off unwanted and bad bacteria, parasites and organisms.

Why the strain matters more than the species

Most probiotics tell you only the species, like Lactobacillus acidophilus which is a warning sign. Strains within a species behave differently, and research is conducted on specific strains, not species.

Every culture in Gut Works® is identified to strain level. Lactobacillus rhamnosus LGG and Bifidobacterium lactis BB-12 are among the most heavily researched live culture strains in the world, BB-12 having been tested for bowel habit in 1,248 adults in one of the largest single-strain trials run. Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS-1 was studied in 330 adults with IBS, where it eased abdominal pain three times more than placebo over six weeks.

Bloating and wind

Bloating is the most common gut complaint, reported by 81% of the 811 adults in our wider gut health survey, and most of it comes down to fermentation. When food reaches your large intestine, bacteria break it down and produce gas as they go. How much gas, and how comfortable you are with it, depends on which bacteria are doing the work.

Among customers in our study who had bloating before starting Gut Works®, 63% reported relief from it, and 61% reported relief from excessive wind.

Regularity, both ways

Psyllium husk is the seed coat of Plantago ovata, and it is included because it is a soluble fibre that forms a gel when it meets water, which softens and bulks stool if you are constipated, and slows things down and firms them up if you are not. Relief rates from users taking Gut Works® in our study were high for constipation (56%) and for diarrhoea (66%).

Feeding what you've added

Gut Works® is a synbiotic rather than simply a probiotic. Live cultures need feeding, and inulin is what feeds them. It is a fibre from chicory root that your own digestive enzymes cannot break down, so it arrives in your large intestine intact and becomes food for the bacteria already living there as well as the ones arriving in your capsule.

Why it keeps getting better

This is arguably the most important finding in our study. Effectiveness climbs steadily with how long people have taken Gut Works®. Among users of under two months, 31% rated Gut Works® extremely effective. Among those at four months or more the combined positive rating reached 98%.

That gradient is what biology predicts. You are not topping up a nutrient, you are shifting a population of trillions, and incoming strains establish gradually rather than in a single dose. While three quarters of people begin to feel a difference within four weeks, fuller results take 3+ months.

Beyond your gut

Your gut does not work in isolation. Over 70% of your immune function sits in the gut lining, your gut is connected to your brain via the gut-brain axis, and with your skin via the gut-skin axis.

In our survey of 811 adults, 97% said their gut health affected at least one other area of their wellbeing, most often their energy, their weight and their mood. It is the clearest argument there is for treating the gut as the foundation for daily health.

The hidden burden of gut health

Our survey of 811 adults reveals how widespread, multi-symptom and life-affecting gut health issues really are - and how poorly current options meet the need.

811 respondents October 2022 Cross-sectional customer survey
92% report gut issues
81% experience bloating
97% say it affects wider wellbeing
Resultados del estudio

We surveyed 811 adults on the prevalence, breadth and psychosocial impact of gut symptoms, and the strategies they use to manage them.

What we found:

92% reported some degree of gut issues, carrying a mean of 6.2 symptoms each - led by bloating (81%), fatigue (62%) and wind (52%). 97% said gut health affected another area of wellbeing such as energy, weight or mood, and 67% found symptoms worsened with anxiety. No management strategy was rated 'very effective' by more than one in five users.

Qué significa esto

It's rarely just one symptom

Mean 6.2 symptoms per person; 41% had seven or more at once.

Gut issues cluster rather than appear in isolation.

It spills into everything

97% said gut health affects energy, weight or mood.

And 67% report a clear gut–anxiety link.

A real unmet need

No strategy was 'very effective' for more than 1 in 5.

Pointing to demand for genuinely effective options.

What is the best probiotic supplement?

The BBC Good Food Guide review of 'The best probiotic supplements 2025 - tried and tested', published in November 2025, ranked Gut Works as a 'Star Buy' and the Best Vegan Probiotic.

Rated 5/5 and tested for taste, flavour, active ingredients, formulation, value for money and clarity of instructions, the independent reviewers said "Easy to take and featuring a neutral flavour with no noticeable smell, this DRV+ probiotic supplement offers a blend of six well-known probiotic strains, including Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species, alongside prebiotic inulin and psyllium husk. Each capsule delivers an impressive 50 billion CFU, which have a delayed release to help protect bacteria through the stomach. The formula is vegan, allergen-free and comes in a recyclable pouch. While claims reference clinical studies, more transparent evidence for the specific formulation would be reassuring. A 60-day money-back policy adds peace of mind."

¿Cuándo es el mejor momento para tomar Gut Works®?

Gut Works® debe tomarse al menos 20 minutos antes o después de alimentos o bebidas calientes e idealmente con el estómago vacío. Los probióticos son extremadamente sensibles al calor, por eso es importante tomarlos mucho antes o después de cualquier comida o bebida caliente. Puedes tomar tu cápsula Gut Works® a cualquier hora del día.

Recuerde también guardar la bolsa y el pastillero recargable en un lugar fresco y seco y alejado del aire caliente, la humedad o el calor directo.

¿Cómo almaceno mis probióticos?

Los probióticos son muy sensibles al calor y al aire caliente, así que mantenga su bolsa alejada del aire caliente o la humedad, incluidos radiadores, vapor de una tetera o duchas en el baño. Si no está seguro, guárdelo en el refrigerador si está libre de escarcha.

¿Se pueden tomar probióticos y Gut Works® a largo plazo?

Esta es una pregunta común sobre los probióticos. Si bien puede haber algunas excepciones a esta regla, la respuesta general es sí, es seguro y, a menudo, se recomienda tomar probióticos a diario para mantener saludable el microbioma intestinal.

Should I take gut health supplements?

Gut health supplements can be helpful if you’re experiencing symptoms like bloating, irregular bowel movements, food intolerances or frequent digestive discomfort. They can also be beneficial if you’ve recently taken antibiotics, have high stress levels or want to support your immune system. Supplements work best alongside a balanced diet rich in fibre, diverse plant foods and adequate hydration. If your gut symptoms are persistent or severe, it’s worth checking for underlying conditions before starting a supplement.

What do gut health supplements do and how do they work?

Most gut health supplements, like probiotics, prebiotics or digestive enzymes work by supporting the balance of your gut microbiome or helping your body break down and absorb food more effectively. Probiotics introduce beneficial bacteria, prebiotics feed those bacteria so they thrive, and digestive enzymes assist in breaking down proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Together, they can improve digestion, support nutrient absorption, reduce bloating and enhance overall gut function.

What does lactobacillus do in the gut?

Lactobacilli bacteria live in our digestive, urinary and genital systems and can be found in fermented foods such as yoghurt. Different strains of Lactobacilli bacteria support different functions in the body. Discover more about the most common strains of live cultures.

Which lactobacillus is best for gut health?

Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus plantarum. You can find all 4 of these strains in Gut Works® along with Bifidobacterium Lactis, Streptococcus Thermophilus, Psyllium Husk powder and Inulin.

How to increase bifidobacterium in the gut?

Bifidobacterium bacteria live in our intestines as lactic acid bacteria and can also be found in fermented foods.

Is inulin good for gut health?

Inulin is a gut-friendly fibre that helps friendly, active bacteria in your gut to grow. Inulin is a 'prebiotic', and prebiotics are vital to the health of probiotics.
