A “GUT feeling” isn’t just cliché; today science has evidence. Many experts refer to the gut as the body’s “second BRAIN.”

Why it Matters: Your Gut is your 2nd Brain and the Gut<>Brain connection is well established by science. The prebiotics and probiotics fibers with our proprietary gut specific spice blend helps to maintain balance for long term gut/brain health.

The one factor that plays a significant role in GUT health: FIBER.

Introducing GUTonic™ from Maui Tonics®, a daily multi-fiber formula designed to support both gut and brain health.

Our proprietary blend of nutrient-dense ingredients nourishes the gut microbiome, promoting healthy digestion and regularity. A healthy gut is crucial for overall well-being, influencing everything from digestion and immune function to mood and cognition.

GUTonic™ supports a balanced gut ecosystem, essential for a healthy mind and body.

“A troubled intestine can send signals to the brain, just as a troubled brain can send signals to the gut. Therefore, a person’s stomach or intestinal distress can be the cause or the product of anxiety, stress, or depression.” - Harvard Health 

Prebiotic Fiber + Vitamin B-9, B-12, folate (from Beets): 

Beets are a nutritional powerhouse that offers a range of health benefits, particularly for digestive health.

• Rich in Fiber: Beets are an excellent source of dietary fiber, both soluble and insoluble.
  • Soluble fiber: Helps lower cholesterol, regulate blood sugar, and promotes the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.
  • Insoluble fiber: Adds bulk to stool, preventing constipation and promoting regular bowel movements.
• Prebiotic Powerhouse: Beets contain prebiotic fiber, which acts as food for the beneficial bacteria in your gut. This helps to nourish and support a healthy gut microbiome.
• Folate Boost: Beets are a good source of folate, a B vitamin essential for cell growth and repair, including the tissues in your digestive tract.
• Nitric Oxide Production: Beets contain nitrates, which your body converts into nitric oxide. Nitric oxide relaxes blood vessels, improving blood flow and potentially benefiting digestive function.

Potential Benefits for Digestive Health:

• Improved Digestion: The fiber content in beets promotes regular bowel movements and prevents constipation.
• Reduced Risk of Diverticular Disease: The high fiber content may help reduce the risk of diverticular disease, a condition that affects the large intestine.
• Gut Microbiome Support: Beets nourish beneficial gut bacteria, contributing to a healthy gut microbiome, which plays a crucial role in overall health.
• Reduced Inflammation: Beets may help reduce inflammation in the gut, which can be beneficial for conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Prebiotic Soluble/Insoluble Fiber (from Psyllium): Psyllium is a well known MUST HAVE fiber source. 

• Rich in Fiber: Psyllium is a rich source of both soluble and insoluble fiber.

  • Soluble Fiber: Absorbs water in the intestines, forming a gel-like substance that can help regulate blood sugar levels, lower cholesterol, and promote feelings of fullness.
  • Insoluble Fiber: Adds bulk to stool, promoting regular bowel movements and preventing constipation.

• Prebiotic Properties:

  • Psyllium husk acts as a prebiotic, meaning it feeds the beneficial bacteria in your gut. This helps to nourish and support a healthy gut microbiome.

• Potential Health Benefits:

  • Digestive Health: Relieves constipation and diarrhea, promotes regular bowel movements.
  • Cholesterol Management: May help lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels.
  • Blood Sugar Control: Can help stabilize blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity.
  • Weight Management: Promotes feelings of fullness, which can aid in weight management.

• Important Note: Always drink plenty of water when consuming psyllium husk, as it can absorb water in the digestive tract and cause discomfort if not adequately hydrated.

Pectin (from Apples) + Quercetin (from Apple skin):  

• Rich in Fiber: Apples are packed with both soluble and insoluble fiber.  

  • Soluble Fiber (like pectin): Helps regulate blood sugar levels, lowers cholesterol, and promotes the growth of beneficial gut bacteria (prebiotic effect).
  • Insoluble Fiber: Adds bulk to stool, preventing constipation and promoting regular bowel movements.  

• Nutrient Powerhouse: Apples are a good source of vitamins (like vitamin C), minerals (like potassium), and antioxidants.  

• Brain Benefits: Apples contain quercetin, an antioxidant that may help protect brain cells from oxidative stress.  

• Skin Benefits: The skin of an apple contains most of its nutrients and fiber.  

• Digestive Health: The fiber in apples helps slow down digestion, preventing rapid blood sugar spikes and promoting a feeling of fullness.

Soluble/Insoluble Fiber (from gluten free Oats): 

• Rich in Fiber: Oats are an excellent source of both soluble and insoluble fiber.

  • Soluble Fiber (like Beta-Glucan):
    • Forms a gel-like substance in the intestines, helping to slow down the absorption of cholesterol.
    • Binds to cholesterol in the digestive tract, preventing its absorption into the bloodstream.
    • May help regulate blood sugar levels by slowing down the absorption of glucose.
    • Acts as a prebiotic, feeding the beneficial bacteria in your gut.
  • Insoluble Fiber: Adds bulk to stool, promoting regular bowel movements and preventing constipation.

• Other Health Benefits:

  • May help improve heart health by lowering cholesterol levels.
  • May help regulate blood sugar levels.
  • May promote a healthy gut microbiome.

What are Prebiotics? 

Prebiotics are non-digestible compounds that act as food for the beneficial bacteria in your gut.

• They are types of fiber that are not broken down by our digestive enzymes in the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract.
• Reaching the colon, they are fermented by the gut's microflora (beneficial bacteria).
• This fermentation process helps these beneficial bacteria to grow and thrive.

By nourishing these good bacteria, prebiotics contribute to a balanced and healthy gut microbiome, which plays a crucial role in overall health.

What is Microbiome? 

The microbiome refers to the vast community of microorganisms, primarily bacteria, that live within and on our bodies.

• The majority reside within our intestinal tract (gut).
• This intricate ecosystem plays a crucial role in various aspects of our health, from digestion and immune function to mood and even brain health.

The gut microbiome is incredibly complex and continues to be an area of active research.

  • Take GUTonic™ at least 1 hour before or 2-4 hours after taking other medications.
• Preparation:
  • Mix 1 Tablespoon of GUTonic™ with 8 ounces of water or juice.
  • Stir well immediately, as the mixture may thicken if left to sit.
• Hydration:
  • Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Because psyllium slows down the digestion of food, it should be taken with plenty of liquid.
• Starting Dose:
  • If you typically have a low fiber intake, start with a half-dose for the first two days.
  • Gradually increase to a full dose as your body adjusts.
• Benefits:
  • It may take a few days to experience the full benefits of GUTonic™.
  • Even after you stop noticing immediate effects, the benefits continue to support your gut health.
