A healthier gut starts with what you feed it.
Gut health has become one of the biggest conversations in wellness. But before the trends, complicated protocols and endless products, there is one important foundation worth understanding:
Fibre.
Dietary fibre plays an important role in normal digestive function, and different types of fibre behave differently within the digestive system.
Gut Foundations makes targeted daily fibre nutrition simple, helping you add another important layer to your broader healthy-ageing routine.
NOURISH → SUPPORT → BUILD
One daily habit. A bigger gut-health picture.
DAILY FIBRE
Build a stronger nutritional foundation.
Fibre is an important part of a healthy diet. Gut Foundations provides a simple way to add a diverse blend of dietary fibres to your existing nutrition.
DIGESTIVE HEALTH
Support healthy bowel function.
Different types of fibre perform different roles within the digestive system. Oat grain fibre, for example, contributes to an increase in faecal bulk.
GUT MICROBIOME
Nourish the community within.
Your gut is home to a complex community of microorganisms. Certain dietary fibres are fermented within the colon, which is one reason fibre diversity is an important part of the gut-health conversation.
More than collagen alone.
At the centre of Gut Foundations is ZinoBiotic+, a plant-based fibre supplement combining eight naturally derived sources of dietary fibre.
Rather than relying on a single fibre source, the formulation brings together resistant starches, oat beta-glucans, inulin, fructooligosaccharides (FOS), psyllium husk and partially hydrolysed guar gum.
RESISTANT STARCHES
Derived from corn, potato and green banana, providing different sources of resistant starch within the fibre blend.
OAT BETA-GLUCANS
Soluble fibre derived from oats. Beta-glucans contribute to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels when consumed at the required daily intake.
INULIN + FOS
Fermentable dietary fibres that interact with bacteria within the colon.
PSYLLIUM + GUAR FIBRE
Additional plant-derived fibre sources that add further diversity to the formulation.
Eight fibre sources. One simple daily routine.

ZinoBiotic+ can be mixed with water or incorporated into foods and drinks such as smoothies, yoghurt or kefir. The recommended daily dosage is 12 g, or two scoops, and drinking additional fluid is recommended when increasing dietary fibre.

Gut health is bigger than a supplement.
A fibre supplement can make supporting your daily intake easier, but it shouldn't replace the foods that form the foundation of good nutrition.
Vegetables. Fruit. Legumes. Wholegrains. Nuts. Seeds. Variety.
These foods provide far more than fibre alone, including vitamins, minerals and other naturally occurring plant compounds.
Gut Foundations is designed to complement a healthy, varied diet, not replace one.
Your gut deserves a place in the healthy-ageing conversation.
We often think about ageing well in terms of what we can see: our skin, our weight, our strength and the way our body looks.
But some of the foundations of wellbeing are less visible.
Nutrition, digestion and the complex environment within our gut all form part of the bigger picture of looking after ourselves through our 40s and beyond.
The goal isn't to chase perfect gut health.
It's to build better everyday foundations that support the way you want to live.
More than a fibre supplement.
Gut Foundations is designed around a bigger idea: lasting health is built through the things we do consistently.
Rather than looking for another quick fix, we focus on simple nutritional foundations that can become part of everyday life.
TARGETED NUTRITION

Better gut foundations. A healthier everyday routine.
Your gut plays an important role in digestion and how your body processes the food you eat.
Building strong gut-health foundations starts with everyday habits, including eating a variety of plant foods, getting enough fibre and maintaining a balanced diet.
The Gut Foundations Program makes it easier to complement those habits with targeted daily fibre nutrition.
Discover how small, consistent choices can help support your gut-health foundations.

Questions about Gut Foundations
What is the Gut Foundations Program?
Gut Foundations is Thrive Beyond 40's targeted fibre nutrition program for people wanting to build stronger everyday gut-health foundations.
At its centre is ZinoBiotic+, a plant-based powder containing eight naturally derived sources of dietary fibre, designed to complement a healthy, varied diet.
What is ZinoBiotic+?
ZinoBiotic+ is a dietary fibre supplement combining eight naturally derived fibre sources, including resistant starches from corn, potato and green banana, oat beta-glucans, inulin, fructooligosaccharides, psyllium husk and partially hydrolysed guar gum.
The aim is to make adding greater fibre diversity to your everyday nutrition simple.
How do I take ZinoBiotic+?
The manufacturer's recommended daily dosage is 12 g, or two scoops, mixed with approximately 200 ml of water. It can also be added to drinks or foods such as smoothies, yoghurt or kefir.
Zinzino's directions allow one to four scoops daily according to preference and advise not exceeding the recommended daily dose. Always follow the current product label and directions for use.
When starting out for the first time, start with 1/4 scoop and build up from there.
Adequate hydration is particularly important when consuming dietary fibre.
Why does Gut Foundations contain different types of fibre?
Different dietary fibres have different characteristics and behave differently within the digestive system.
Rather than relying on a single fibre source, ZinoBiotic+ combines eight naturally derived sources, including resistant starches, beta-glucans, inulin, FOS, psyllium and guar fibre.
For Thrive Beyond 40, this fits within a broader food-first approach to fibre diversity.
Does Gut Foundations replace eating high-fibre foods?
No.
Vegetables, fruit, legumes, wholegrains, nuts and seeds should remain important sources of dietary fibre and nutrition.
Gut Foundations provides a convenient way to complement your diet with additional fibre, not replace the benefits of eating a varied range of whole foods.
What results can I expect from the Gut Foundations Program?
Everyone's experience is individual and will depend on factors including your existing diet, fibre intake, hydration, lifestyle and digestive health.
Gut Foundations is designed to help you increase and diversify your dietary fibre intake as part of a broader approach to digestive health.
Some people notice changes in their digestive patterns when increasing fibre intake, and there may be an adjustment period as the body adapts.
Rather than viewing Gut Foundations as a quick fix, think of it as helping you establish a simple and consistent nutritional habit that supports your gut-health foundations over time.
How does the Gut Foundations subscription work?
The current ZinoBiotic+ Start Kit is A$154 and includes three 180 g packs.
The ongoing subscription is A$52 per month, with delivery every two months. The Australian plan currently has a six-month commitment beginning one month after sign-up, with a minimum total cost of A$466 plus shipping.
Current pricing and terms are confirmed at checkout.
Is there a prepaid option?
Yes.
If you prefer to pay upfront, the current Prepaid Kit is A$466 and includes nine 180 g packs plus one additional pack at no extra charge, giving you ten packs delivered together.
It's a one-time payment with no ongoing commitment, and Zinzino currently includes free shipping with this option.
This can be a good choice if you already know you'd like to make Gut Foundations part of your longer-term routine.
Can I try ZinoBiotic+ without a subscription or prepaid kit?
Yes.
A single ZinoBiotic+ 180 g is currently available as a one-off purchase, and selected local stock is also available directly through Thrive Beyond 40 in Brisbane, subject to availability.
This is a simple way to experience Gut Foundations before deciding whether an ongoing subscription or prepaid option is right for you.
Is Gut Foundations suitable for everyone?
Gut Foundations is designed for adults wanting to complement their diet with additional dietary fibre.
Because individual nutritional and digestive needs vary, always check the ingredients and product directions before use. If you have an existing health condition, take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are unsure whether increasing your fibre intake is appropriate for you, speak with your healthcare professional.
What research supports the Gut Foundations Program?
Gut health is an evolving area of research, with growing interest in the relationship between dietary fibre, fibre diversity, the gut microbiome and overall health.
