Women seeking natural support during pregnancy and postpartum (Iron Rich Blend).

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Iron Rich Blend was created to support women's health during pregnancy and postpartum, providing natural iron, selenium, zinc, and vitamin E from whole-food sources. Our blends are designed to complement, not replace, the essential supplements recommended in pregnancy – such as folic acid and iodine – which remain critical for foetal development. We recommend using My Daily Gut alongside these supplements and following the RANZCOG Vitamin & Mineral Supplementation in Pregnancy Guidelines. As always, please consult your healthcare provider before making changes to your diet during pregnancy.

Question 6

Do the blends contain added sugars or artificial ingredients?

Accepted Answer

No. Our blends are free from added sugars, sweeteners, artificial flavours, synthetic additives, and ultra-processed ingredients. They're 100% whole-food.

Question 7

Why is eating a variety of plant foods important for gut health?

Accepted Answer

Eating a wide variety of plant foods helps support a more diverse gut microbiome, which is associated with digestive and overall health. "Plant points" are a simple way of tracking that variety across foods such as nuts, seeds, legumes, fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices and whole grains. Our blends make it easier to add multiple plant foods in one scoop, helping support greater plant diversity as part of a varied diet.

Question 8

Does fibre help lower cholesterol?

Accepted Answer

Yes, certain types of fibre can help support healthy cholesterol levels. Viscous fibres such as psyllium and flaxseed absorb water and form a gel during digestion. This gel can bind bile acids in the gut. Because bile acids are made from cholesterol, the body uses cholesterol to produce more. This is why foods rich in viscous fibre are often studied for their role in supporting healthy cholesterol metabolism.

Question 9

How much fibre should you eat per day?

Accepted Answer

Most adults are recommended to consume around 25–30 grams of fibre per day. However, many modern diets fall well below this level. Eating a wide variety of plant foods — including seeds, nuts, whole grains and legumes — can help support digestive health, gut microbiota diversity and metabolic health. Increasing fibre intake gradually and drinking enough water can help the digestive system adjust comfortably.

Question 10

What is viscous fibre and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

Viscous fibre is a type of dietary fibre that forms a gel when mixed with water during digestion. Examples include psyllium husk, flaxseed and chia seeds. This gel can influence processes such as: cholesterol metabolism, blood sugar responses, satiety, and digestive regularity. Because of these properties, viscous fibres are often studied for their role in supporting metabolic and digestive health.

Question 11

Can fibre support gut microbiome diversity?

Accepted Answer

Yes, dietary fibre plays an important role in supporting gut microbiome diversity. Many fibres act as prebiotics, meaning they provide fuel for beneficial gut bacteria. When these bacteria ferment fibre, they produce compounds such as short-chain fatty acids that help support gut health. Eating a diverse range of plant foods is one of the key ways to encourage a diverse and resilient gut microbiome.

Question 12

Can I take more than one blend at a time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each blend supports a different area of health and can be safely combined. For example, you might enjoy the Digestion Blend in your breakfast and the Metabolism Blend in your lunch. If you're new to high-fibre foods, we recommend starting with ½ scoop daily and gradually building up to a full scoop. To get the most from the fibre, always have at least 250 mL of water per scoop – this helps the fibre work effectively and supports comfortable digestion.

Question 13

How long does one pouch last?

Accepted Answer

We offer two pouch sizes to suit different needs: 14-day pouch – perfect for starting out or trying a blend for the first time. 30-day pouch – one month of daily nourishment (one scoop per day). Both options make it easy to build a consistent daily routine.

Question 14

How soon will I notice results?

Accepted Answer

Some people notice changes in digestive regularity within days, while other benefits may build more gradually over weeks of consistent use. Because each blend supports different aspects of health, timelines can vary.

Question 15

How long does it take for fibre to improve digestion?

Accepted Answer

Many people notice improvements in digestive regularity within a few days to a few weeks after increasing fibre intake. Fibre works by absorbing water, increasing stool bulk and providing fuel for beneficial gut bacteria. Increasing fibre gradually and drinking enough water can help the digestive system adjust more comfortably.

Question 16

Do the blends replace meals or supplements?

Accepted Answer

No. They're designed to complement your meals, not replace them. We believe in food first — real nourishment that works alongside your everyday diet.

Question 17

Do I need to refrigerate the blends?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Refrigerate after opening to preserve freshness and quality. Always reseal the pouch tightly.

Question 18

Are the blends suitable for vegetarian or pescatarian diets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All blends are plant-based and suitable for vegetarian and pescatarian diets.

Question 19

Do the blends contain allergens?

Accepted Answer

Our blends contain tree nuts, grains, or seeds depending on the formula. Please check the nutrition label on each product page for detailed allergen information before use.

Question 20

How are the blends different from fibre powders on the market?

Accepted Answer

Many fibre powders are built around isolated ingredients or small amounts of trendy additions. My Daily Gut is different: Research-aligned amounts – formulated around amounts used in human studies. Whole-food ingredients – built from real seeds, nuts, grains and other minimally processed plant foods. Designed for daily meals – easy to sprinkle onto foods you already eat. Purposeful formulations – each blend is designed to support a specific health goal.
