Question 1

What is the gut microbiome?

Accepted Answer

Your gut is home to trillions of tiny living things, mostly bacteria, called the gut microbiome. They're not human cells. But they live alongside us. They react to what we eat. As they feed, they produce compounds that can affect digestion, immunity, mood, and metabolism. Different species do different jobs. A varied mix matters more than any single "good" bacterium.

Question 2

Can diet really change gut bacteria?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and faster than most people expect. A Harvard University study found that gut bacteria can shift within just a few days of a significant diet change. Lasting change, though, tends to need sustained habits rather than a single meal.

Question 3

Why does plant variety matter more than any single food?

Accepted Answer

Researchers behind the American Gut Project, one of the largest citizen-science studies of its kind, compared thousands of people's diets against their gut bacteria. People who ate more than 30 different plants a week had noticeably more diverse gut bacteria than people who ate 10 or fewer. That pattern held whether someone was vegetarian, omnivore, or anything else. Variety itself was the strongest factor, not any one "superfood." Your gut holds thousands of different microbes, and each one tends to consume something slightly different. Only a wide range of plants gives enough of them something to eat.

Question 4

What is Phyto60?

Accepted Answer

Phyto60 is a food, a raw, blended drink made from over 60 different fruits, vegetables, herbs and other plant ingredients. The American Gut Project found that eating at least 30 different plants a week supports a healthier gut. Phyto60 goes well beyond that baseline, packing a wide range of plant variety into a single drink.

Question 5

Why doesn't just taking a probiotic help?

Accepted Answer

Adding a probiotic puts new bacteria into your gut, but that's only half the job. Those bacteria still need something to eat once they're in there, or they can't establish themselves and will die back out. Think of it like bringing new animals into a zoo without feeding them. It's dietary variety that keeps those animals, and any bacteria already living in your gut, fed well enough to stick around.

Question 6

How much Phyto60 should I drink, and when?

Accepted Answer

One 200ml bottle a day is the standard serving for ongoing plant food diversity. If your gut and diet need more support, two bottles a day gives you a wider range of plant food diversity. It can be drunk all at once or split throughout the day for better absorption. Once thawed, keep refrigerated and drink within 24 hours.

Question 7

Is Phyto60 a juice?

Accepted Answer

No. Juicing strips away the pulp and fibre, leaving behind much of what a plant has to offer. Phyto60 is blended instead, using whole fruits and vegetables, keeping the plant fibre and nutritional value inside.

Question 8

How should I store Phyto60?

Accepted Answer

Keep it frozen until you're ready to consume, then thaw following the instructions included with your order and keep it refrigerated once thawed. Use within 24 hours of thawing and check the expiry details on your packaging.

Question 9

Should I check with someone before trying Phyto60

Accepted Answer

As with any new food, it's always sensible to check with a healthcare professional first, particularly if you have a medical condition, allergies, or specific dietary needs. This site shares insights drawn from published research on the gut microbiome. It is not a substitute for medical advice. Phyto60 is a food product, not a medicine, and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Question 10

Does Phyto60 contain any allergens?

Accepted Answer

Due to the wide and diverse range of plant ingredients used in Phyto60, this product is not suitable for individuals with plant or nut allergies.
