Everyone’s microbiome is different. Some people may notice changes in digestion, energy, or clarity within days, while others experience more gradual effects.
GutLab is not a quick fix, it’s about feeding your microbial ecosystem consistently.
• GutLab is made entirely from whole-food plants, nuts, and seeds.
• If you have food allergies, please read ingredient information carefully.
• Pregnant, breastfeeding, or chronically ill individuals should consult a healthcare professional before use.
GutLab is based on the latest scientific research on the microbiome. While the field is still emerging and not all doctors are familiar with microbiome nutrition, we provide references to peer-reviewed studies on our Science page.
Currently, we only ship within South Africa due to the frozen, perishable nature of our formula. International shipping options are under review.
