The Science Behind Gut Power Drinks
We don't mess around when it comes to the science. (Did you know Gut Power™ was created by a digestive health dietitian and total research nerd?)
Not all probiotics and prebiotics are created equally -- in fact, research shows us that you need to choose them carefully! We spent years scouring the scientific literature to come up with the best combination of ingredients to properly fuel your gut.
Check out the research below for more information on our ingredients!
