The first two weeks
"I have noticed a difference in the first two weeks. I have not had any bloating and have been more regular. Loving this product."
Taken at night
"It feels good to support local. Was great for mine and husband's digestion. Less bloating. We took at night so it could do its thing while we slept."
Far superior
"I have a very sensitive digestion. These probiotics are far superior to anything I have used before. Finally I have found something that does what it says it will do."
Waking up lighter
"Am feeling less bloated when I wake up in the morning! What a difference!"
A regular rhythm
"I am noticing my gut feels comfortable, and I'm finding a healthy regular rhythm which is always a joy!"
Travels well
"Seems as effective as other probiotics I have taken, but great that it can travel without need for a coolstore."
What's inside
Nine strains, one capsule
Different strains live in different parts of the gut and do different jobs. That is why Gut Restore carries nine of them, in the amounts printed on the label, rather than one strain in a big number.
Lactobacillus · 30 billion
L. acidophilusThe workhorse
The biggest share of the formula. A resident of the small intestine, where most of the breaking-down of food happens.
Lactobacillus · 24 billion
L. plantarumThe hardy one
The strain found in fermented vegetables like sauerkraut and kimchi. Tough by nature, which is why it travels well in a capsule.
Bifidobacterium · 5 billion
B. lactisFor regularity
The Bifidobacterium in cultured dairy. At home in the large intestine, the part of the gut that sets your rhythm.
Lactobacillus · 4 billion
L. rhamnosusThe well-travelled one
One of the most widely used probiotic strains in the world, and one of the most studied.
Bifidobacterium · 2.5 billion
B. longumThe one you started with
Among the first bacteria to settle in the gut in infancy. Numbers of Bifidobacteria thin out as the decades pass, which is why it is here.
Bifidobacterium · 1.5 billion
B. bifidumThe carb specialist
Helps break down the complex carbohydrates your own enzymes cannot, the fibres in vegetables, grains and legumes.
Lactobacillus · 1.5 billion
L. caseiFrom the cheese vat
A dairy strain that settles in the large intestine and keeps company with the Bifidobacteria there.
Lactobacillus · 1 billion
L. helveticusThe Swiss one
Used in Swiss cheese making for centuries. Named for Helvetia, the old name for Switzerland.
Bifidobacterium · 0.5 billion
B. adolescentisThe one that fades
Named for its abundance in young adults. It is one of the strains that quietly declines with age, so we put it back.
Prebiotic · 15 mg
PreforProFood for the nine
A prebiotic included so the strains arrive with something to work with, at a 15 mg dose that fits in the same capsule. No bulky fibre powder, no second product to buy.

GUARANTEE
Quick, easy, nightly
How to take it
One capsule, 30 minutes before evening rest, with a glass of water. The label says so, and customers who take it at night tell us it suits them.
Keep the bottle on the bedside table. It is shelf-stable, so no fridge, and it travels in a suitcase.
Give it two months. That is two bottles, and the guarantee runs the whole sixty days. Most people who write to us describe the change somewhere between week two and month three.
Koru FAQs
Frequently asked questions
How many probiotics are in a capsule?
70 billion CFU across nine strains, 485 mg in total, plus 15 mg of the prebiotic PreforPro. The full actives panel is on the label above.
When do I take it?
One capsule, 30 minutes before evening rest, with water. One a day is the full dose.
Does it need to be refrigerated?
No. Store it at room temperature out of direct sunlight. That makes it easy to travel with.
How long does a bottle last?
Thirty capsules at one a night is one month. The 2-pack is two months and the 4-pack four.
How long before I notice anything?
It varies. Some reviewers describe a change inside two weeks, others say it took two or three months. That is why the guarantee runs for 60 days rather than 30.
Can I take it with medication, or while pregnant?
The label asks you to seek advice from your medical professional if you are on any form of medication, pregnant or nursing. Ring 0800 99 99 80 and we will email you the full label to take along.
Is it vegetarian?
No. The capsule is gelatin. It is made in a facility that also processes fish and crustacean ingredients.
Where is it made?
In New Zealand, from local and imported ingredients, by Koru Nutrition at 5 Kingsford Smith Drive, Rangiora.
