♡ HOW MANY GLASSES OF SUPERBELLY CAN I DRINK IN A DAY? ♡
It’s different for everyone! We use inulin as a prebiotic dietary fiber to support a healthy gut biome, and for some people large amounts of inulin can cause bloating and discomfort, especially the first few times you introduce it to your diet. We only use 1g of inulin per serving, so we recommend starting with a glass of SuperBelly a day for a week, then try adding a second pack, with 6-8 hours in between. See how your body reacts, and if there’s no upset, feel free to drink SuperBelly throughout the day at your own pace.
♡ HOW OFTEN SHOULD I DRINK SUPERBELLY? ♡
Every day! Science shows that probiotics should be taken daily. Probiotics are transient, meaning they enter our gut, influence the bacteria balance, and are excreted. Taking them every single day is the best way to get the happiest gut.
We recommend maintaining a two-hour window between taking antibiotics and drinking SuperBelly, and vice versa. Antibiotics can kill probiotics, so leaving a couple of hours in between can help ensure you’re getting all of SuperBelly’s benefits!
♡ HOW DO I KNOW IF SUPERBELLY IS RIGHT FOR ME? ♡
SuperBelly was made for anyone who needs a lil’ extra help with their gut (AKA most of us!)
If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, we always recommend checking in with a doctor or trusted healthcare professional before adding anything new to your routine, especially if any ingredients are new to you.
Blumies with IBS should also consult a trusted healthcare professional, since SuperBelly contains inulin, which is a fructan and not part of the FODMAP diet. That said, research shows that inulin is beneficial for those with IBS-C or with constipation, so it’s always best to double check to see if adding SuperBelly to your routine makes sense for you!
♡ IS THIS PRODUCT TRAVEL SAFE? ♡
Attention, all jetsetters: SuperBelly’s convenient single serve packaging makes it the perfect travel buddy to slip into your carry-on or weekender bag. Traveling can often upset digestion and regularity, so SuperBelly is a great way to support your gut health and digestion when you’re on-the-go!
♡ WHAT DOES IT TASTE LIKE? ♡
Think of a tart and juicy pink lemonade with a subtle hint of tropical hibiscus. Light, refreshing, and Blume founder, Karen's favourite for a reason.
♡ IS THIS PRODUCT ORGANIC? ♡
All Blume ingredients are organic or non-GMO. Some of SuperBelly’s ingredients, like citric acid and probiotics, aren’t available as organic certified ingredients, so we aren’t able to make any claims around SuperBelly being 100% organic (...yet! Blume is always looking for new suppliers of organic-certified ingredients and will update our community as we go).
♡ WHAT PROBIOTIC IS IN THIS DRINK AND WHY? ♡
SuperBelly’s probiotic is bc30TM (Bacillus coagulans GBI-30 6068) - after extensive research, Blume chose bc30 because it’s spore-forming, shelf stable, and backed by over 25 published papers to prove it can support digestive health, immune health, and protein utilization.
SuperBelly’s probiotic has a shell to protect it from pH, heat, cold and pressures, which means it doesn’t activate until you drink it. It’s also shelf stable, so it will outlast SuperBelly’s 18 month shelf life (in the *super* unlikely event that you don’t get through your SuperBelly stash in time!).
♡ WHAT IS THE SHELF LIFE? ♡
SuperBelly has a shelf life of 18 months! We recommend storing our products in a cool, dry spot, like a pantry or cupboard, to keep the ingredients fresh.
♡ WHAT ARE THE NATURAL FLAVOURS? ♡
The natural flavours listed in SuperBelly's ingredients are vegan and organic fruit, floral, and botanical extracts!
All three SuperBelly flavours have their own extracts - for example, Strawberry Hibiscus has strawberry and hibiscus extracts. There are no hidden ingredients, it's just how the extracts need to be labelled on the ingredients list to be compliant in Canada and the US!
♡ WHAT WATER TEMPERATURE SHOULD I USE TO MAKE SUPERBELLY? ♡
SuperBelly is soluble in cold water! We recommend adding SuperBelly to a cup or bottle of cold water, stir or shake until dissolved, then add ice for smooth sipping 😋
PS: a little sediment is normal with all natural ingredients!
