Every ingredient on a food label is doing something inside your body. Most of us just don't know what. GutGuard changes that. Point your camera at any ingredient list or paste text and get an instant, science-backed breakdown of what each ingredient actually does to your gut. NO GENERIC SCORES. REAL MECHANISMS. Most food-scanning apps give you a number. GutGuard tells you why. Our analysis is built on 7 peer-reviewed gut health mechanisms: • Emulsifiers that strip your gut's protective mucus layer • Refined seed oils that drive omega-6 inflammation • Artificial sweeteners that disrupt your microbiome • Refined sugars that spike glucose and feed harmful bacteria • Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) from ultra-processing • Nitrites in processed meat linked to gut damage • Palatability engineering designed to make you overeat Each flagged ingredient comes with its mechanism, severity level, and dose context so you understand the science, not just a traffic light. TWO WAYS TO SCAN • Photo - Point your camera at any ingredient label • Text - Paste an ingredient list from anywhere PERSONALISED TO YOU Set your health goal - whether that's gut comfort, energy, clean eating, curiosity, or family health. Add your sensitivities (IBS, bloating, heartburn, intolerances) and ingredients you're watching (gluten, dairy, emulsifiers, seed oils, and more). GutGuard matches every scan against your profile. The "For You" section highlights exactly what matters to you, including FODMAP alerts if relevant. WHAT YOU'LL SEE IN EVERY SCAN • Overall verdict - from "Looks great" to "Worth avoiding" • NOVA processing score (1-4) • Flagged ingredients with mechanisms and severity • Positive signals - fermented foods, live cultures, extra-virgin olive oil, and more • Personalised alerts matched to your profile • Context on occasional vs regular consumption • Plain-English summary of the full picture YOUR FOOD DIARY Every scan is saved locally on your device. Browse your history by day or week. See patterns in what you're eating. PRIVACY FIRST • No account required • Your food diary lives on your device • Anonymous sessions - we never know who you are BUILT ON SCIENCE, NOT TRENDS GutGuard's analysis framework draws on peer-reviewed research into intestinal permeability, microbiome disruption, and chronic inflammation. We don't follow fads - we follow the evidence. This is not a diet app. There's no calorie counting, no guilt, no judgement. Just clear information about what's in your food and what it does.
