- Only 1 in 10 Americans eat the recommended 5 servings of fruit and veg a day. As a consequence, only 5% of Americans meet the recommended daily intake of fiber.

Gutzy pouches contain organic fruits and veggies, 7-8 grams of fiber, 5-6 grams of prebiotics plus a blend of anti-inflammatory ingredients like ginger dandelion and turmeric.
- Gutzy uses the queen of prebiotics, which is Acacia which has been used for centuries by African and Indian populations to improve digestive discomfort and help with intestinal transit. Gutzy uses only the purest and highest grade of prebiotics from the sap of the Senegal Acacia tree to ensure our microbiome gets the highest quality gut food it needs to thrive daily. Acacia is one of the most tolerated prebiotic for the gut and it has over 400 scientific studies validating its multiple positive effects on gut health.
