How to Read a Gut Health Supplement Label
Choosing a gut health supplement can feel confusing when labels use broad terms such as “digestive support”, “probiotics” or “superfoods”.
A useful label should clearly state the serving size, full ingredient list, fibre source and amount, probiotic information, enzyme ingredients, allergen declaration and storage instructions. These details help you understand what a product contains and compare it with your own dietary requirements.
This guide explains how to read those details, using BLAST Daily Greens and BLAST Daily Reds as examples of products that disclose their ingredients and per-serving amounts.
Quick summary: Start with the serving size. Then check the ingredient list, fibre amount and source, probiotic information, digestive enzymes, allergen statement and storage instructions.
Start with the serving size
The serving size gives context to every number on a supplement label.
A front-of-pack figure is only useful if you know how much of the product you are expected to take. Always check whether the nutritional information is shown per serving, per scoop, per capsule, or per 100 g.
BLAST Daily Greens and Daily Reds
Both products list:
- Serving size: 10 g, or one scoop
- Nutrition information: shown per 10 g serving
- Serving directions: mix one scoop with 250 ml of water or add it to a smoothie
When comparing any supplement, check:
- Whether the serving size is clearly stated
- Whether ingredient amounts are shown per serving
- Whether the serving instructions are practical for your routine
- Whether the front-of-pack information matches the nutritional panel
Check the fibre source and amount
Fibre is listed on nutrition panels in grams per serving. A label should make it clear how much dietary fibre is provided and identify the source where possible.
BLAST Daily Greens and Daily Reds fibre information
Both BLAST Daily Greens and Daily Reds contain:
| Label detail | Amount per 10 g serving |
|---|---|
| Dietary fibre | 5 g |
| Dietary fibre in milligrams | 5,000 mg |
| Fibre source | Fibregum acacia gum |
| Dietary fibre NRV | 17% |
BLAST Daily Greens contains 5 g, or 5,000 mg, of dietary fibre per 10 g serving. The fibre source is Fibregum acacia gum, which is listed on the ingredient panel.
When reading another product label, look for:
- The dietary fibre amount per serving
- The named fibre source
- Whether the fibre is listed in the nutrition panel
- Whether the ingredient list matches the front-of-pack information
A label that only says “dietary fibre” without identifying the amount per serving gives less information for comparison.
Understand probiotic information
Probiotics are live microorganisms used in some foods and supplements. If a product contains probiotics, the label should state the quantity and provide as much information as possible about the cultures included.
BLAST Daily Greens and Daily Reds probiotic information
Both products list:
| Label detail | Amount per 10 g serving |
|---|---|
| Probiotic blend | 67 million CFU |
| Listed culture families | Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains |
CFU stands for colony-forming units. It is a label measurement used to state the number of viable microorganisms in a serving.
When comparing probiotic-containing products, check:
- Whether the CFU amount is listed per serving
- Whether the product identifies the probiotic cultures used
- Whether an expiry date is visible
- Whether storage instructions are provided
BLAST Daily Greens and Daily Reds list a probiotic blend containing Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains at 67 million CFU per 10 g serving. Refer to the product page and packaging for the current ingredient and storage information.
Review digestive enzyme ingredients
Digestive enzymes are proteins that help break down different food components. Labels may list individual enzymes or name an enzyme blend.
BLAST Daily Greens and Daily Reds enzyme information
Both products contain DigeZyme at 50 mg per serving.
The label lists five enzymes:
| Enzyme | Listed on the BLAST product label |
|---|---|
| Amylase | Yes |
| Neutral protease | Yes |
| Cellulase | Yes |
| Lactase | Yes |
| Lipase | Yes |
When comparing enzyme-containing products, look for:
- A named enzyme blend or individual enzyme names
- The amount provided per serving
- Clear ingredient information
- Serving and storage instructions
BLAST Daily Greens and Daily Reds list DigeZyme and the five included enzymes on their product information.

The nutrient reference value is the percentage shown on the label for a standard daily reference intake. Customers should follow the serving instructions and seek professional guidance if they have a medical condition, take medication, are pregnant, or have questions about suitability.
Read allergen and facility statements carefully
Allergen information is an important part of every food supplement label.
BLAST Daily Greens and Daily Reds state:
Allergens: None. Produced in a facility that handles nuts, wheat (gluten), eggs, dairy and soy.
This means no allergens are declared as ingredients in the product, while the manufacturing facility also handles the listed allergens.
Anyone with an allergy, intolerance or medical dietary requirement should read the most current product label carefully and seek professional guidance where needed.
Follow storage instructions
Storage guidance matters, particularly for products containing probiotic cultures.
BLAST Daily Greens and Daily Reds state:
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep tightly sealed and refrigerate after opening to maintain freshness and extend shelf life.
Always follow the storage guidance on the pack and check the best-before date before use.
Check certifications and dietary information
Where a product refers to dietary suitability or certification, review the current packaging and product page for the exact information that applies.
BLAST displays Halaal certification information on its website. Customers who require Halaal-certified products should verify current certification details directly with BLAST before purchase.
For all dietary requirements, including allergens, vegan suitability, gluten, dairy or soy considerations, always check the current label before use.
