The Probiotic Myth: Why "Good Bacteria" Aren't Enough to Heal Your Gut
Discover the groundbreaking “phage” technology that succeeds where probiotics and restrictive diets fail – and can target bloating, constipation, and digestive distress in just hours

If you’re like most people with chronic bloating, constipation, or other digestive woes, you’ve probably been told that probiotics are the answer.
Just flood your gut with “good bacteria,” they say, and watch your symptoms disappear.
But what if I told you that probiotics are not the gut-healing cure-all they’re cracked up to be?
In fact, for some people, they can actually make digestive issues worse.
The truth is, when it comes to lasting relief from gut distress, adding more bacteria – even the “good” kind – is like trying to weed an overgrown garden by planting more flowers.
It doesn’t directly address the root of the problem.
So what does?
Cutting-edge research has revealed a remarkable new approach that succeeds where probiotics and restrictive diets fail.
It’s called bacteriophage therapy, and it’s based on a simple but profound idea:
Instead of just adding more bacteria to your gut, what if you could precisely target and eliminate the “bad guys” causing all the trouble?
You see…
In the future, this is how people will conquer stubborn gut issues and reclaim their digestive health.
Only you don’t have to wait.
You can start right now…
You see, bacteriophages are not some new, untested fad.
In fact, the scientist who originally discovered bacteriophages almost won a Nobel Prize for his groundbreaking work.
They’ve been the subject of intensive scientific research in Europe since the 1910s, and more recently, their gut-healing potential has been backed by pioneering scientists at US institutions such as MIT, Harvard, and John Hopkins Medical School.
But to really understand how phages work, let’s go to our garden analogy.

Picture your gut as a lush, vibrant garden.
In a healthy garden, there’s a perfect balance of different plants, all working together to create a thriving ecosystem.
Now imagine that some invasive weeds start to take over.
They choke out the beneficial plants, steal nutrients from the soil, and generally make a mess of things.
Pretty soon, your once-beautiful garden is a disaster zone.

Probiotics are like trying to fix this problem by randomly scattering more seeds around the garden, hoping the good plants will outcompete the weeds.
But without dealing with the underlying infestation, it’s a slow battle.
Phages, on the other hand, are like a team of “master gardeners” who know exactly which weeds are causing the problem.
They zero in on these troublemakers with sniper-like precision, pluck them out at the roots, and allow your beneficial plants to flourish again.

And this is what the research shows us.
For example, researchers at Colorado State University had fascinating results from their groundbreaking double-blinded, placebo-controlled crossover trial.
They showed that taking a special blend of phages could wipe out the “bad” gut bugs, like E. coli, while leaving the “good” gut bugs alone.
Even better, they also helped the good gut bugs grow stronger in number and reduced signs of inflammation in the body.
This is on top of the pile of evidence showing bacteriophages can clear staph infections, ear infections, lung infections, bacterial diarrhea–all without harming good bacteria or causing frustrating side effects.
True “master gardeners” at work.
When I discovered bacteriophage therapy I was absolutely floored.
After all I had a masters in nutrition, and was the creator and host of multiple, viral gut healing documentary series, and had interviewed over 100 gut experts, and had more than 1.1 million people register for my live events.

I had overcome my own health issues and had witnessed the same for the people who tuned in around the world to watch.
But this was an incredibly potent tool in the toolbox that I had not been utilising.
I couldn’t help asking myself–why don’t more people know about this?
Part of the answer finally came to me when interviewing a renowned Australian PhD and professor for our documentary series.
I realised that the over-reliance on probiotics, which had long been touted as the go-to cure-all for gut issues, was actually part of the problem.
Despite what the internet blogs tell us; or even what many doctors tell us…
Probiotics cannot “reseed” the gut.
They cannot permanently colonise or become permanent residents in your gut.
It’s simply a myth.
And while they can be very helpful in the right context, they do little to get rid of the bad bacteria causing your gas, bloating, emergency trips to the bathroom, and other digestive woes.
And it got worse…
I also discovered that for some people, probiotics could actually make their digestive spiral out of control.
The delicate balance of their gut “gardens” had been so disrupted that simply adding more bacteria, even the “good” kind, was like throwing fuel on the fire.

And antibiotics, although they have been life savers… they are like nuclear bombs for our delicate gut gardens.
They are unable to distinguish between good bacteria and bad… and sadly destroy everything within reach.
Scientists are only now just discovering the full impact on our gut gardens, from rampant antibiotic use.
This was the key to understanding why gut issues like bloating, food sensitivities, constipation, and even obesity are skyrocketing in the Western world.
Our ancestors, who hadn’t been subjected to the same onslaught of antibiotics, had much healthier microbiomes and, as a result, suffered from far fewer digestive problems.
And they even had fewer lifestyle diseases like heart disease, stroke and cancer.

Armed with this new research, and the weight of wanting to serve my global community of health seekers–I knew I had to do something.
That was when I teamed up with an esteemed biochemist from Michigan to find a way to deliver these “gut healing gardeners” to the masses.
And after a year of work, and consulting with my team of naturopaths and practitioners.
We released something so successful, that even I was blown away.
Because the people who used it experienced some weird side effects.
It wasn’t just that the constipation was going down, that the bloating was finally under control, or that people could finally eat the foods they once enjoyed.
People, like Janice, were losing weight and cooling their joint pain… without even trying!
Intestinal bloating is way down and I'm losing weight without even trying. Joint pain is lessened and energy is increased. I can't believe how much difference it has made.
And then Laura wrote to tell me this…
It has changed my life! I started taking this last year to help heal my gut. I soon was having regular and consistent BM's (bowel movements)! I was chronically constipated and now I don't have to take any pills to help - I was taking two a day. Now I start my day with a scoop in my coffee. I can't even taste it! I also don't have digestion/reflux issues. Was popping pills for that almost on a daily basis and no longer have to worry about that either. I am very happy…!
At this point I knew I was onto something BIG. Because then Marie wrote in to tell me this too…
Something that finally I am taking that works for me.
It makes sense right?
All people needed was a simple way of getting this new, amazing ingredient into their bodies on a day-to-day basis.
But when messages came into my inbox saying things like…
For 2 months I had diarrhea several times a day. I tried a few different things which helped but not enough. This product is truly amazing. I had dramatic relief in just a few days. I continue to take it daily to give my gut biome the time it needs to recover and reset.
We knew it was time to really blow the lid off this amazing new technology.
And you may be thinking…
“What’s the secret weapon then?’
Let me introduce you to Better Gut Prebiotic Fiber Plus.

Inside this special product is your own daily dose of phage therapy– i.e. your very own “gut gardeners”!
The bacteriophages are inside the specialized ingredient, “PreforPro”.
And you’ll be happy to know that PreforPro is incredibly fast-acting.
It begins working in hours, not days.
But here’s the really amazing thing: PreforPro functions in both the small and large intestines, and it does so in a tiny dose.
So you won’t be jugging down more pills and almost gagging between breaths after trying to gulp down a mouthful of supplements!
In fact, we have designed it to be tasteless, all you need to do is put it in your favourite smoothie, breakfast or warm cup of coffee.
And sit back while these little wonders of nature do their thing.

But you see, Better Gut Prebiotic Plus isn’t just a one-trick pony.
While the powerful gut-healing phages are at the heart of its effectiveness, the formula is enhanced with a carefully curated blend of powerhouse ingredients…
Each one chosen for its unique ability to support and enhance the gut-healing process.
So what else is inside?

PreticX Prebiotic Complex

Slippery Elm Bark

Fulvic Minerals

Sunfiber Prebiotic Fiber
First up is PreticX Prebiotic Complex.
But wait a second… what is a prebiotic?
Think of them like fertilizers for your garden, because they help you feed the ‘good guys’.
And they’ll work hand-in-hand with your “gut gardeners” to feed and nourish your gut back to good health.

But Better Gut Prebiotic Plus doesn’t stop there.
It also includes Slippery Elm Bark, a natural herb that has been used for centuries to soothe and protect the digestive tract.
Its high ‘mucilage’ content coats the lining of the intestines, creating a protective barrier against irritation and inflammation.
Think of it like a soothing balm for your gut, helping to calm and heal even as the phages and prebiotics do their work.
And then there are the Fulvic Minerals.
These ancient, plant-derived compounds are like a super-nutrient for your gut garden.

Last but not least is Sunfiber Prebiotic Fiber.
Unlike some other fibers, Sunfiber is incredibly well-tolerated and doesn’t cause the gas, bloating, or discomfort that can sometimes accompany fiber supplementation.
Instead, it provides a steady, nourishing food source for your beneficial gut bacteria, helping to maintain a healthy balance and prevent future digestive issues.
Together, these ingredients create a comprehensive gut-healing formula that is truly unmatched.
By targeting “weeds”, supporting “the good guys”, and soothing and protecting the digestive tract, Better Gut Prebiotic Plus provides a multi-pronged approach to gut health that simply can’t be found anywhere else.

And the results speak for themselves.

It has quite frankly changed my life.

These products are working
I love both the L-Glutamine and Better Gut Prebiotic Fiber Plus. I put both in my smoothie everyday.
The result is less noise from my GI tract! In thinking about it clearly, I haven’t had gut discomfort in a couple of weeks, so these products are working.
