Gutzy is India's first packaged Millet based Probiotic drink. Naturally made without any preservative, color or flavour, Gutzy can significantly contribute to gut health through the following ways:

1. Supports a Healthy Gut Micro​biome

  • Probiotics (Good Bacteria): The drink contains live beneficial bacteria, such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, which help balance the gut flora.
  • Prebiotic Effect: Millets contain dietary fiber, particularly resistant starch and soluble fiber, which serve as food for probiotics, promoting their growth.

2. Improves Digestion & Nutrient Absorption

  • Breaks Down Food Efficiently: Probiotics aid in digesting complex carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, reducing bloating and indigestion.
  • Enhances Nutrient Uptake: A healthy gut microbiome helps absorb essential nutrients like calcium, iron, and B vitamins from food.

3. Strengthens the Immune System

  • Boosts Immunity: Since 70% of the immune system resides in the gut, a balanced microbiome strengthens the body's natural defense against infections.
  • Reduces Inflammation: Probiotics help lower gut inflammation, reducing the risk of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and leaky gut syndrome.

4. Maintains a Healthy Gut pH

  • Fermented millet drinks produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), such as butyrate, which maintain an optimal gut pH and inhibit harmful bacteria.

5. Helps with Bowel Regularity & Gut Disorders

  • Prevents Constipation: The fiber in millets supports smooth bowel movements.
  • Reduces Symptoms of IBS & Acid Reflux: Probiotics soothe gut inflammation and regulate bowel function.

6. Aids Mental Health & Mood Regulation

  • Gut-Brain Connection: A healthy gut influences mood, stress, and cognitive function by regulating neurotransmitters like serotonin.
  • Reduces Anxiety & Stress: Probiotics may improve mood disorders by lowering gut inflammation.

7. Lactose-Free & Gluten-Free Alternative

  • Ideal for lactose-intolerant and gluten-sensitive individuals who struggle with dairy-based probiotics like yogurt.

Due to the power of probiotics with the nutritional benefits of millets, Gutzy is a natural, functional health drink that promotes overall digestive wellness and long-term gut health.
