Gut Soothe, a health supplement for dogs, is a proprietary blend of pre and probiotics, and select herbs to help maintain a healthy intestinal tract, normal digestive function, proper gut flora and a healthy inflammatory response. Gut Soothe aids in reducing occasional loose stools due to environmental stress or changes in diet.
Ingredients:
-
Multi Strain Probiotic Blend
Probiotics enhance the immune response of the digestive tract. Lactic acid bacteria produce lactic acid which inhibits yeast growth by lowering intestinal pH and blocks the receptors or adhesion sites of pathogens, creating a barrier against infectious organisms. 15 billion allergen-free CFU (colony forming units) to defend against harmful gut bacteria by repopulating the digestive system with friendly bacteria.
-
L-Glutamine Amino Acid
A component of healthy connective tissue and mucous membranes, it supports healthy mucous membranes and linings in the respiratory and digestive tracts, nutritionally supports healthy digestion and is indicated for leaky gut management. L-Glutamine is an amino acid that is essential in the healing of leaky gut. It supports the strength of the mucosal lining and the proper functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and acts as a protector against the irritants that cause inflammation.
-
Slippery Elm Bark
For hundreds of years, Native Americans have used Slippery Elm Bark for its beneficial and soothing properties. Slippery Elm is a large, deciduous tree native to Eastern North America known for its mucilaginous, strengthening, and nutritive properties. Slippery elm is a master demulcent. It exerts a soothing effect on mucous membranes of digestive, respiratory, and urinary tracts. It is also used for protecting against stomach and duodenal ulcers, for colitis, diverticulitis, GI inflammation and acidity.
-
Larch Arabinogalactan
Prebiotic Larch Arabinogalactan is a Larch tree extract that supports colon health. It is often used as an effective adjunct to cancer therapies due to its ability to stimulate the immune system and block metastasis of tumor cells. Its uses in people include chronic fatigue syndrome, viral hepatitis, HIV/ AIDS, and autoimmune diseases. It is also commonly used for infections.
-
Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice
Licorice root, which is considered one of the world’s oldest herbal remedies, comes from the root of the licorice plant. Licorice Root/DGL is a form of licorice that is safe for those with high blood pressure as it has the glycyrrhizin constituent removed. It benefits gastric mucosa by improving circulation, secretion of protective layer, and supporting growth of new mucosal cells.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Adored Beast Apothecary’s founder, homeopath Julie Anne Lee, is here to answer your questions. Her life’s work is to help all animals live healthier, happier, longer lives.
Do I have to use the entire container or do I stop using once symptoms disappear?
When you are trying to address any health issue with our products it is good to do a minimum of 6 weeks as we have taken the approach of many authentic herbalists that the body needs to an average of 6 weeks to process the healing response.
With many chronic diseases (an issue that has been heavily medicated or your animal has had for over 1 year) it is often the case that you will need to rotate Gut Soothe with Love Bugs or Healthy Gut. We have many animals taking it long term because they feel so much better when they are on it.
Do I stop using other probiotics?
It is not necessary to be on additional probiotics but if you are currently giving one it doesn’t hurt to finish or slowly wean off rather than just stopping something abruptly your animal has been getting. One thing to note is that the probiotic blend in Gut Soothe is quite powerful, offering 30 Billion CFUs (colony forming units) per serving for a medium-sized dog. Too many probiotics can cause loose stool, so if you are currently giving one, be mindful of that!
What is the shelf life of Gut Soothe?
Minimum of 12 months.
Will this interact with any other medications?
Gut Soothe should not be given to animals that are on anticoagulant drugs. It is always advisable to check with your veterinarian if your animal is being treated for an existing condition or if they are on medication of any kind.
What is the difference between Gut Soothe and Healthy Gut?
Both products have the same base – the pre and probiotic blend that makes up Love Bugs. Gut Soothe has the added herbal components and Healthy Gut has the added digestive enzyme components.
Can I Give Gut Soothe with other medications?
We often suggest, if there are concerns regarding pharmaceutical-type medications, giving Gut Soothe 1 -2 hours after the drug so it's had adequate time to absorb. This is because research suggests that the mucilage content in marshmallow root creates a protective layer on the lining of the digestive tract, the same as slippery elm. This mucilage traps and absorbs water, forming a gel-like substance that can coat mucous membranes, providing short-term relief of pain and inflammation. There is also thought that this may affect nutrient absorption.
If you have a concern, give Gut Soothe in some bone broth or kefir, away from medications.
