Feeling heavy, bloated and backed up can throw off your whole day. You don't want to talk about it, and you definitely don't want a complicated fix. Gut Go keeps things simple: about 20 drops once a day, straight from the dropper or stirred into a drink.
The company says the formula was inspired by a 400 year old Japanese tea recipe and is designed to support regularity, ease bloating and gas, and help you feel lighter.
What I like right away is how easy it is to fit in. No powders to mix, no big pills, no special diet. A dropper a day and you're done.
Four main ingredients
Guarana seed extract. Guarana is a climbing plant from the Amazon whose seeds are a natural source of caffeine. Many people know the gentle "get things moving" effect their morning coffee has on digestion, and the company calls guarana "nature's very own laxative."
L-glutamine. This amino acid is a favorite fuel for the cells that line your intestines, which is why it shows up in so many gut health products.
Green tea. A traditional Japanese staple, rich in antioxidant catechins, and a natural fit for a formula inspired by a tea recipe.
Maca root. A Peruvian root vegetable, usually taken for energy and stamina. When your gut feels sluggish, the rest of you often does too, so I see why it's here.
It's a short list, and I think that's part of the charm. Two of the four come straight from traditional drinks, tea from Japan and guarana from Brazil, where it's been brewed for generations.
The company also mentions additional supporting nutrients. The label lists the formula as a whole.
How the company describes it
The sales page tells the story of how the Japanese tea tradition inspired the formula and explains the company's view that a swollen, irritated gut is behind a lot of bloating and irregularity. It shares testimonials from customers who say they feel lighter, more regular and more comfortable in their clothes. The company says Gut Go is suitable for all ages.
Twenty drops and a glass of water
The directions are 1 ml, about 20 drops, once daily. Many people take it in the morning with water or juice, and since guarana contains caffeine, morning is a good time anyway. Each bottle holds 2 fl oz (60 ml).
A few simple habits give it the best chance to help. Drink plenty of water through the day. Add fiber gradually from vegetables, fruit, beans and whole grains. Take a walk after meals, since gentle movement helps digestion more than people expect. And try to keep a regular bathroom routine, even if it feels silly at first.
Price, shipping and that 365 day guarantee
One bottle: $59
Three bottles: $147 ($49 each)
Six bottles: $234 ($39 each)
Domestic shipping is free on every package, and international shipping is just $4.95. Checkout is handled by ClickBank.
The guarantee is a full 365 days, one of the longest I've come across. That gives you a whole year to decide if the drops are right for you, which takes a lot of pressure off the first order.
If you're sensitive to caffeine, pregnant or nursing, or take regular medication, check with your doctor before starting. New constipation after about age 45, blood in the stool, unexplained weight loss, severe pain or a sudden change in habits need a medical visit, not a supplement. Many medicines, including opioids, iron and some blood pressure drugs and antidepressants, cause constipation and can sometimes be adjusted.
A gentle daily habit
Some honest limits: there's no supplement facts panel or doses, and the page's "Swollen Gut Syndrome" doesn't appear in the medical literature. The bottle holds 60 ml at 1 ml a day yet is sold as a one month supply. For occasional constipation, psyllium, enough water and a daily walk have far better evidence.
Some gut products ask you to overhaul everything. Gut Go asks for 20 drops and a glass of water. If you like the idea of a simple tea inspired formula with a year long safety net, you can order it through the official Gut Go page.
