01
Prepare
Before you fly
Primes your gut microbiome before you fly , so it’s ready before you ever taste a thing.
The system
Three formulas. One system.
Each phase does one thing VERY well. Together they cover the trip end-to-end. From the week before you fly to the days after you land back home.
02
Shield
While you’re there
Daily support while you travel. Built for the water, the food, and the long, late adventures.
03
Recover
When you’re BACK
Resets your system after you land, so you don’t lose your first week back to feeling off.
FAQ
Common questions.
Everything you need to know before your next trip.
Why would I need this? I’ve traveled before and been fine.
Most travelers get lucky. Your gut microbiome is your first line of defense against unfamiliar bacteria. Think of it like sunscreen — you don’t skip it because you didn’t burn last summer.
Why can’t I just grab Pepto-Bismol if something happens?
VivaGut is your plan A. Pepto is your backup. One stops the problem from starting. The other shows up after it’s already cost you a day.
I’m only going for a long weekend. Is it still worth it?
Short trips are actually higher risk — you land and immediately start eating local food. Lose one day on a three-day trip = a third of your vacation gone.
I already take a daily probiotic. Do I really need VivaGut?
Different purposes. VivaGut uses Saccharomyces boulardii — a yeast-based probiotic with clinical evidence for traveler’s diarrhea prevention, not standard Lactobacillus strains.
Can I take VivaGut alongside my existing probiotic?
Absolutely. Because VivaGut uses Saccharomyces boulardii (a yeast), it doesn’t interfere with bacterial strains you’re already taking.
What makes Saccharomyces boulardii different from regular probiotics?
It’s a probiotic yeast — survives stomach acid more reliably, stays intact even if you need antibiotics, and has strong clinical evidence specifically for preventing traveler’s diarrhea.
Do I have to use all three phases, or can I just take one?
Every phase stands on its own. The three together form a complete arc of protection.
Why does RECOVER use Curcumin instead of more probiotics?
The missing bacteria are only part of the problem — inflammation is the bigger issue. Curcumin + BioPerine® is clinically shown to reduce gut inflammation; BioPerine® boosts curcumin absorption by up to 2,000%.
Where is VivaGut made and what are the quality standards?
FDA-registered, cGMP-certified facility in the USA. Vegetarian capsules, no gelatin, no artificial fillers.
Who is VivaGut designed for?
Travelers who love to experience the world — food, culture, new environments. Works for anyone who doesn’t want to leave their trip to chance.
