Do you ever have those days when you just feel a little off? What do you do about it? Have you considered that your overall health is linked to your gut health? Too often we let those 'little cheats' become our standard fare instead of them being an occasional indulgence in our eating pattern. If you've been looking for a heavy-duty fiber supplement to get your gut back on track, you'll want to take a look at OLIGO 30 Premium Prebiotic Fiber. Brad Dennis, Ph.D, the founder of Great Gut sent me a container of OLIGO 30 to test out. We had talked extensively about gut health last fall, and I was impressed that someone actually wanted to talk about the science of gut health with me! I had tasted the Great Gut Extra Strength Prebiotic Fiber and wanted to know more about their other products.
So here is the scoop...
OLIGO 30 is a blend of 6 different prebiotics. Prebiotics are those fibers that feed the beneficial bacteria in our digestive system and help them grow. You could take a probiotic every day, but if you do not feed it well, it will not stick around in your gut and help your digestion. You need both, probiotics and prebiotics to maintain a regular, healthy gut. It is not difficult to find probiotics, but it can be a challenge to keep them happy. That is where OLIGO 30 comes in.The standard plan to follow with OLIGO 30 is to take it in the evenings, so it can feed your good gut bacterial while you sleep. This blend can also help suppress some of the bad gut bacteria you may be harboring, like Streptococcus. If you're already used to taking fiber daily, you can start with a scoop each evening, but if not, start with 1/3 to 1/2 a scoop each evening mixed in 6-9 oz of a non-carbonated beverage and work your way up to the full dose. One of the Prebiotics in this blend is cocoa powder, but I did not notice it being enough to affect going to sleep, in fact, when you get your gut regular, you sleep better. I did however, find the cocoa difficult to mix in when I used just plain water to take it, so I often mixed it in unsweetened applesauce instead. If any of you are bakers, you'll know that cocoa powder is notorious for not mixing well with water, so if you're taking your OLIGO 30 with water instead of a clear juice, plan on using a mixer bottle instead of a spoon.
The non-dairy formula of OLIGO 30 may create gas and/or bloating for some people. Start with the lower dosage and move up to minimize this. Also, be sure to take it every evening as a consistent usage can minimize the gassy feelings. The best way to do this is to set a reminder on your phone to take it every night a half-hour or so before bed. If you are wanting to mix it into a smoothie, you might want to take it earlier in the evening. If you really struggle with gas or bloating, you might want to consider their Low FODMAP Fiber instead.
I tried taking it both in the evenings and in the mornings and found it did work much better when taken after dinner. This is a potent formula and not for the faint of heart. You said you wanted to get your gut in order right? That means being consistent and letting your body balance itself again!
The price for OLIGO 30 is consistent with other quality prebiotic blends - around a dollar a serving. This container is 13.5 ounces and holds between 37-41 servings depending on how level you make your scoop. It retails for $39.97.
Has your healthcare practitioner been suggesting you start taking fiber? Do more than just take fiber, take a blend that can feed your beneficial bacteria along the way, not one that only pushes food through your gut. OLIGO 30 comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Get it, use it, and have a better balanced digestive tract in 30 days.
