U-guru Lactose Granule

Frequently Asked Questions: 

1. Q: Is U-guru safe? 
A: U-guru has been popular in Japan for 38 years. It is suitable for children, older adults, and even pregnant women, so it is considered very safe. 
 
2. Q: How does U-guru work? 
A: The plant enzymes, lactic acid bacteria, bifidobacteria, and other probiotics in U-guru help break down lactose and oligosaccharides in the body. This produces gas that gently expands the intestines and promotes intestinal cleansing and movement, helping to encourage bowel movements. The increase in beneficial bacteria also helps improve intestinal flora and support long-term intestinal metabolism. 
 
3. Q: Can people with normal metabolism take U-guru? 
A: Yes. Even people with normal metabolism may have waste buildup in the intestines, so U-guru can be used to help clear it. 
 
4. Q: How should U-guru be taken? 
A: Dissolve one 50 g sachet in about 180 ml of warm water below 40°C and drink. Do not use very hot water, as water above 70°C may kill beneficial bacteria such as lactic acid bacteria. For a stronger intestinal cleansing effect, take it on an empty stomach, preferably instead of breakfast. Drink more water within 2–4 hours after taking it, and avoid breakfast or snacks during this period. 
 
5. Q: What reactions may occur after taking U-guru? 
A: Usually within 2–4 hours, you may feel bloating and hear gurgling sounds in the abdomen. Soon after, gas may be released and bowel movements may begin. Stools may change from hard to softer, and eventually to watery stools. Sticky or dark, strong-smelling stools may indicate waste that has accumulated in the intestines. 
 
6. Q: What if watery stools continue after taking this product? 
A: There is usually no need to worry. Watery stools are mainly undigested lactose being expelled with water. Excess water in the body may also be released, which may make the body feel lighter and more comfortable. 
 
7. Q: If I continue taking it, will the watery stools stop? 
A: At the beginning, watery stools may occur more frequently, but the frequency usually decreases gradually. Reactions vary from person to person. When the intestines become cleaner and watery stools reduce to once or twice a day, it generally indicates that accumulated waste has largely been cleared. Continued use may help maintain intestinal cleanliness and support overall wellness. 
 
8. Q: Can it help with stubborn constipation? 
A: For people with stubborn constipation, it is recommended to take U-guru continuously for three to four days, one sachet per day. Bloating may occur during this period as gas helps loosen waste attached to the intestinal wall, followed by bowel movements. After 3–4 days, adjust to one sachet every 3–4 days. Because intestinal metabolism takes time to regulate, one month of continued use is recommended. Once metabolism becomes regular, follow the recommended dose of one sachet per week. 
 
9. Q: Can U-guru help reduce lower abdominal bloating? 
A: Japanese research suggests that constipation can be one of the causes of lower abdominal fullness in women. When intestinal movement is weak, fat and waste may accumulate more easily in the lower abdomen. By helping clear intestinal waste and improving intestinal movement, U-guru may help reduce lower abdominal bloating. 

 
10. Q: Why is taking U-guru once a week enough? 
A: Within 2–4 hours after taking U-guru, accumulated intestinal waste may be expelled, leaving less buildup in the intestines. After using it for a period of time, the body’s metabolism may also become more regular. Even if you stop for a few days, bowel movements may remain normal, with no dependency. Therefore, taking it once a week is recommended to help clear waste accumulated during the week. 
 
11. Q: Can it be used for constipation during pregnancy without affecting the baby? 
A: U-guru is different from laxatives. It does not usually cause abdominal pain before bowel movements and is less likely to affect the uterus or cause dependency. However, because pregnancy is a special period, it is recommended to start with a small amount, such as one-third of a sachet each time. Please consult your family doctor before use. 
 
12. Q: Can children take it? How should they take it? 
A: Yes. The amount should be adjusted according to body weight. For children under 12, one-third to half a sachet each time is recommended. Start with a small amount and gradually increase if needed. For school-age children, it is best to take it once a week on weekends for intestinal cleansing. 
 
13. Q: Will U-guru cause abdominal pain or dependency like some cleansing herbal products? 
A: U-guru works physically and does not stimulate the intestinal wall, so it generally does not cause abdominal pain. Its effect usually disappears completely after about four hours and does not cause dependency. Once the intestines are clean and stools return to a soft consistency, bowel movements may reduce to once or twice a day. However, a small number of people may have lactose intolerance due to a lack of lactase in the intestines. They may experience abdominal pain after taking U-guru. If this happens, drink sugar water or thin congee to help ease discomfort and stop taking U-guru. 
 
14. Q: Why does U-guru have a stronger intestinal cleansing effect than taking probiotics alone? 
A: The human intestines contain about 100 types of bacteria, with a total number reaching around 100 trillion. Some are beneficial bacteria, such as lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria, which support digestion, absorption, and immune defense. Others are harmful bacteria, such as E. coli, pathogenic bacteria, and staphylococcus. People who lack beneficial bacteria often have higher levels of harmful bacteria. If probiotics are taken alone, they may have difficulty surviving and multiplying, so the cleansing effect can be slow. U-guru helps remove harmful bacteria while cleansing the intestines, creating a better environment for beneficial bacteria to grow. As a result, the intestinal environment may improve more quickly, making its cleansing effect more noticeable. 
 
15. Q: Can U-guru be taken long term? 
A: U-guru is a food-based formula and is considered suitable for long-term use. Since intestinal waste comes from food residues that accumulate over time, regular cleansing may help support long-term health. In Japan, many consumers have taken U-guru continuously for up to 20 years.
