The Gutsi® Gut Reset Kit is a two-month+ programme developed by Gutsi’s lead formulator, research Microbiologist Kiran Krishnan, to support total gut health. Three research-led, clinically proven supplements work together to support a healthy gut microbiome and maintain a healthy and harmonious microbial ecosystem, promote a protective gut barrier, and supply precision bacterial species to support balanced immune and digestive function. Research shows that gut bacteria influence many other aspects of health, such as immunity and inflammation. The influence can be positive or negative, depending on the species of microbes a person has in their gut. 

The Gut Reset Kit is your science-backed protocol for healing the gut. It aims to restore the balance of the microbiome by: 

• Improving microbial diversity and abundance; 
• Crowding out harmful pathogens; 
• Introducing prebiotics, which feed beneficial bacteria; 
• Increasing short-term fatty acid (SCFA) and postbiotic production; 
• Encouraging healthy practices, such as getting enough sleep and exercise and staying hydrated. 

Most of us have some degree of leaky gut – this barrier is not completely impenetrable, and it isn’t supposed to be! Although genetic predisposition contributes to the sensitivity and robustness of our digestive system, modern day life is the main driver of gut inflammation. Research shows that the standard Australasian diet is low in fibre and high in sugar and saturated fats. These factors along with alcohol use and stress contribute to gut inflammation and intestinal permeability. 

Intestinal permeability occurs when cracks or holes develop in the lining of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). These cracks then allow toxins and unwanted particles to enter the bloodstream, which weakens the immune system. The most direct causes of intestinal permeability include chronic inflammatory states such as IBD and coeliac disease. However, medications, drugs, alcohol use and stress can also cause intestinal injury and disrupt the delicate balance of our microbial ecosystem. 

To maintain a healthy and balanced microbiome, it is important to follow an approach that addresses the key layers of a healthy gut. We can do this by increasing the diversity of the microflora with spore-based probiotics, keep the colonies of microflora in the gut well-fed with prebiotics and fibre, encourage the production of health-supporting postbiotic compounds, and nourish the gut with essential nutrients. The Gutsi® Gut Reset Kit can support healthy digestion, reduce inflammation, boost energy levels, and promote weight loss – because everything starts in the gut!   

The Gutsi® Gut Reset Kit offers a comprehensive approach to wellness – it is a protocol specifically designed to help you heal leaky gut and support optimum digestive health. People that use a protocol are more likely to heal and maintain those results, because they understand how the process works. We help people to get to the next level of health. 

Designed to be followed in two easy steps, Gut Reset Kit microbiome health supplements are formulated specifically to support and restore health. SporeBiotic™, Gut Food and Good Guts work together to offer gut support and maintain a healthy and harmonious microbial ecosystem by providing precision bacterial species, precision prebiotics and essential nutrients that support balanced digestive and immune function. 

SporeBiotic™ contains 4 of the most scientifically validated Bacillus strains on the market. This broad-spectrum probiotic and antioxidant was formulated to maintain a healthy gut barrier and immune function. This probiotic does not need refrigeration and contains strains that survive stomach acid. 

Gut Food is a Precision Prebiotic™ formulated with clinically tested, non-digestible oligosaccharides. This prebiotic fibre supplement increases microbial diversity and selectively feeds beneficial microflora. It has been designed to reinforce the beneficial microbial changes created by SporeBiotic™ to support a strong and diverse microbiome. 

Good Guts offers unique gut mucosal support. This blend of key amino acids, plant-based polyphenolic compounds and state-of-the-art Flavobiotic® supports microbial diversity and short-chain fatty acid production for a strong and robust mucosal barrier, which is a necessary foundation for supporting a healthy immune system. 

Research has shown that the formulations included in the Gutsi® Gut Reset Kit positively influence the microbiome and support healing leaky gut. For lasting benefits, however, it may be necessary to implement longer-term changes to diet and lifestyle. Many customers find that they like to undertake seasonal or annual gut resets because they enjoy maintaining the benefits of great gut health!

The Gutsi® Gut Reset Kit was designed to take the guesswork out of staying well. Everything is all laid out for you – open the box, lift the lid, find the instructions! We’ve done the ‘heavy lifting’ and put it together for you in an easy-to-follow and straightforward plan. Our goal is to continue where you are at right now and move you to the next level. Gut health shouldn’t be complicated!

If you struggle with digestive, immune or energy challenges, feel the need for a detox or seasonal cleanse, or experience any of the below factors, a gut reset is for you! 

• Frequent bloating or belching 
• Abdominal bloating or discomfort after eating 
• A ‘sensitive’ stomach 
• Difficulty processing certain foods 
• Frequent loose bowels 
• Frequent sluggish bowel 
• A combination of both loose and sluggish bowel 
• Mucus in your stool 
• Foul-smelling stool 
• Difficulty cleaning up after number 2s 
• Alcohol intake 
• Cigarette use 
• Regular consumption of medications 
• Past or present antibiotic use 
• Mood fluctuations 
• Energy lows 
• Frequent or recurrent infections or illnesses 
• Frequent stress 
• Congested sinuses or sensitivity to allergens 
• Poor diet or lack of dietary diversity 
• Low levels or lack of physical exercise 
• Frequent headaches or migraines 
• Unintentional weight fluctuations 
• Skin issues 
• Fatigue or insomnia 
• Sugar cravings 

The first step to restoring your gut health is to invite awareness and mindfulness into what you are trying to accomplish. Journalling or tracking how you are feeling, what you are eating and drinking, what your eliminations look like and how your mood is (among other things) will help you establish a baseline, chart your progress, and narrow down any foods or habits in your current diet and lifestyle that may be causing unbalanced gut health and unwanted symptoms. By keeping a detailed journey, you’ll be able to look back later, review what might be the culprit, make some changes, and see how far you’ve come at the end! 

Also, we love to give free goodies! Every kit purchase comes with a QR code that gives you exclusive access to our Gut Reset Journal – the penultimate diary for all things gut health. We want everyone to be successful on their Gut Reset journey, so include this as part of our programme. 

We recommend starting slowly and following a titration schedule to reduce detoxification symptoms as any changes to the intestinal ecosystem may result in temporary digestive symptoms. ‘Titration’ means slowly increasing the dose by very small amounts to find the right dose that is effective for you; this allows your body to acclimate to the changes in the microbial environment of the gut without giving you excessive side effects. The most common symptoms are diarrhoea, loose stools, and/or intestinal cramping. However, these are not ‘side effects’, per se – they are a sign that your Gut Reset Kit products are working and should resolve in less than a week. If symptoms become uncomfortable as dosing increases, stop supplementing until symptoms abate and then repeat titration schedule at a slower pace. To give your body time to acclimatise to changes in the gut’s microbial environment, you may want to start slow and titrate the dose up gradually. 

SporeBiotic™: Start with 1 capsule every other day and increase to 1 capsule a day after 1 week if no symptoms. Take with food. 

Gut Food & Good Guts: Take ½ the suggested dose on the label daily for one week and if no symptoms, increase to full dose daily. Take with or without food. 

If you are sensitive or experience any detoxification symptoms*, please see your store expert or contact our friendly naturopaths who can help you with a more personalised approach. 

*Detoxification or unwanted digestive symptoms may include bloating, loose stools, changes in bowel habits, and/or digestive discomfort. If these issues arise, it is recommended that you reduce the dosage to prevent this from occurring. 

If you feel you may be sensitive or you have a history of digestive problems, it may be a good idea to start slowly. Please follow our titration schedule or ask your in-store expert or our technical support team for assistance.

Yes, from Week 5 Gutsi® Gut Food and Gutsi® Good Guts can be taken at the same time as Gutsi® SporeBiotic™.

The Gutsi® Gut Reset protocol can be continued for a longer period of time, depending on what your gut health is like. If you have a primary condition like IBS, Crohn’s or colitis etc., continue until symptomology is under control, stools normalise (diarrhoea and constipation have gone away), and/or food intolerances have been improved. 

After completing the 60-day Gut Reset Kit, continue with a maintenance dose of 1 capsule daily of SporeBiotic™ for continued protection and support. 

Gut Food and Good Guts can be taken intermittently 2-3x a week after completing the kit. Increase daily if travelling or during acute illnesses, colds or flu. After antibiotic use, Gutsi® recommend taking daily for a minimum of 7 days or 2-3 weeks then revert back to maintenance dose. 

While we do not recommend a particular diet whilst undertaking your Gutsi® Gut Reset, it is important to remember that everyone has different dietary needs and preferences. We do provide nutritional guidelines in our complementary Gutsi® Gut Reset Journal as part of your Gut Reset Kit. 

When eating for your gut microbiome, you want to include a wide range of fibre-rich fruits and vegetables. Fibre acts as a prebiotic and promotes healthy gut function. It also helps promote peristalsis in the gut and aids in the elimination of waste. Additionally, brightly coloured produce contain phytonutrient compounds which play an important role in health and wellbeing – find them in red, orange and yellow fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes, apples, berries, carrots, squash, yams, peaches, mangos and citrus fruits. These health-supporting nutrients are also found in dark leafy greens such as spinach, kale and Swiss chard, as well as garlic, onion and leeks. Whole grains, beans and legumes, nuts and seeds are also high in fibre and are a great addition to your daily diet. 

If you are working to heal your digestive system, you may want to stay away from foods you know aggravate you. The top five foods that cause problems are gluten (wheat), corn, dairy, soy and eggs. You may also wish to focus on avoiding or minimising sugar, alcohol and trans fats as these foods decrease beneficial bacteria and increase inflammation. 

All of the products in the Gutsi® Gut Reset Kit are shelf-stable and do not require refrigeration.

Noticeable changes in the gut and digestion vary and are dependent on your overall health wherever your starting point is and your personal awareness of what is ‘normal’ or ‘not normal’ for you. Noticeable changes will also vary with age and whether or not you have experienced long standing digestive issues.

Based on an average use regimen for one person, the Gutsi® Gut Reset Kit should last for approximately 60 days. However, if you are sensitive or need to start with a smaller dose to prevent the occurrence of detoxification symptoms, it may last longer than 60 days.

The Gutsi® Gut Reset is suitable during breastfeeding. There are no known contraindications. It is a very gentle and supportive way to keep both Mum and Bubs’ microbiomes and immune systems strong. To reduce the chance of any detoxification or unwanted digestive symptoms, we recommend that Mum titrate up the dose of each product.

All of the products in the Gutsi® Gut Reset Kit are suitable for children. For children over 4, start with ¼-½ capsule of Gutsi® SporeBiotic® and titrate up to 1 capsule per day. Start with 1 capsule (1/3 - ¼ dose) of Gutsi® Gut Food and Gutsi® Good Guts respectively and titrate up to full dose. When titrating up, monitor symptoms: gas, changes in bowel habits, etc. Open and mix capsules into food or drink if child cannot swallow capsules.  

To support children under 4’s gut health, we recommend working with a healthcare practitioner. Alternatively, contact one of our Naturopaths and we can help support customised dosing based on your child’s age, weight and health status. 

The supplements in the Gutsi® Gut Reset Kit work in the large intestine, so it shouldn’t be an issue for people who have had bariatric sleeve surgery. Due to diet restrictions (only small amounts of food/liquid at a time), these customers may want to split their dosage of SporeBiotic™, Gut Food and Good Guts throughout the day, or take 1 capsule at a time. If unsure, please contact our friendly naturopaths for a more personalised approach or consult with your healthcare practitioner.
