Gut Save Ingredients: Full List, Doses & What Each One Does

By the GutSave.pro Editorial Team · Sources: the manufacturer's sales page, label graphic, refund policy, FAQ and cited studies. Not medical advice.

Gut Save (also written GutSave) combines protein, botanical, sea-vegetable and probiotic ingredients in one daily capsule. This guide goes through every Gut Save ingredient in more depth than our main review: what each one is, why it's likely included, what the research the manufacturer cites actually studied, and who should be careful with it.

Gut Save Ingredient List at a Glance

Each Gut Save Ingredient in Detail

1. Marine Collagen Peptides (300 mg)

Collagen is the main structural protein in the body's connective tissue. “Peptides” means the collagen has been broken down (hydrolyzed) into smaller pieces that are easier to digest. Gut Save uses wild-caught fish collagen, and 300 mg is the only individual dose the brand publishes. For comparison, collagen powders sold on their own often provide several grams per serving, so 300 mg is a modest amount. Avoid if you have a fish allergy.

2. Colostrum Powder (25% IgG)

Colostrum is the first milk a cow produces after giving birth. It's naturally rich in immunoglobulins, a family of proteins; “25% IgG” tells you a quarter of the colostrum by weight is immunoglobulin G. The manufacturer points to a 2011 study in athletes in which bovine colostrum limited the rise in gut permeability after heavy exercise. That's one of the few human studies behind any Gut Save ingredient — but it was done in young, healthy athletes. Dairy-derived: not suitable for people with a milk allergy.

3. Organic Ceylon Cinnamon

Ceylon, or “true,” cinnamon comes from Sri Lanka. It's a better choice for supplements than the cassia cinnamon found in most US kitchens because it naturally contains far less coumarin, a compound that can be a concern in large amounts. Cinnamon has a long history as a warming digestive spice.

4. Organic Irish Sea Moss

Irish sea moss (Chondrus crispus) is a red seaweed that contains natural fibers. Some fibers act as food for beneficial gut bacteria, which is why sea moss is often called a prebiotic. The manufacturer cites a 2015 study in which diets supplemented with this seaweed showed prebiotic effects in animals. Sea moss is a natural source of iodine, so people with thyroid conditions or on thyroid medication should check with their doctor first.

5. Papaya Seed

Ground papaya seeds have a peppery flavor and a long history in traditional digestive remedies. The study the manufacturer cites was a small human pilot study of dried papaya seeds against intestinal parasites — not a study of bloating or regularity.

6. Nigellin™ Black Cumin Seed Extract

Black cumin (Nigella sativa) is a seed used in cooking and traditional herbal practice across the Middle East and South Asia. Nigellin™ is a branded extract. Its best-known compound, thymoquinone, showed anti-inflammatory effects in experimental colitis models in the research the brand cites. Because concentrated botanical extracts can interact with some medications, talk to your doctor if you take prescription drugs.

7. Probiotic Cultures

The product graphic lists Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium cultures. The sales page names five strains:

• Bifidobacterium lactis BL-04 — a well-characterized strain used in many commercial probiotics. In a 2025 lab study, a three-strain mix that included BL-04 helped protect gut-lining cells.
• Lactobacillus paracasei — common in probiotics and fermented dairy; reduced intestinal inflammation in a mouse model.
• Lactobacillus brevis — found in fermented vegetables; studied alongside L. plantarum in mice.
• Lactobacillus buchneri — studied for obesity-related changes in mice on a high-fat diet.
• Lactobacillus hilgardii — less common; research is limited to laboratory antioxidant tests.

Most probiotic products state a CFU count (colony-forming units) on the label so you can see how many live organisms you get. Gut Save doesn't publish one on its sales page.

What a “Proprietary Blend” Means for You

A proprietary blend lists ingredients but not how much of each one is in the capsule. It's legal and common in supplements, but it means you can't compare Gut Save's doses with the amounts used in research, or with other products. If precise doses matter to you, ask the manufacturer at contact@gutsave-product.com or compare the bottle's Supplement Facts panel before buying more.

Is Gut Save Vegan, Gluten-Free or Dairy-Free?

Not vegan and not dairy-free — it contains fish collagen and bovine colostrum. The manufacturer describes the formula as non-GMO and stimulant-free; we didn't find a gluten-free statement on the sales page, so check the label if that matters to you.
