Based on the official Gut Alive formula, there’s no ingredient that’s known to raise blood pressure—in fact none are stimulants or contain compounds (like glycyrrhizin) that can drive up your readings. Here’s the breakdown per serving (two capsules) of Gut Alive:

• Zinc (as Zinc Carnosine, PepZinGI™): 2.7 mg (25 % DV)

• Ginger Root Extract (Zingiber officinale): 333 mg

• Artichoke Leaf Extract (Cynara scolymus): 213 mg

• Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice Root Extract (Glycyrrhiza glabra): 50 mg

• L-Carnosine (as Zinc Carnosine, PepZinGI™): 25 mg

None of these have documented hypertensive effects:

• Ginger typically supports healthy circulation and may even help maintain normal pressure.

• Artichoke and L-carnosine are neutral on blood pressure.

• Deglycyrrhizinated licorice has had the blood-pressure-raising glycyrrhizin removed, so it doesn’t carry the mineralocorticoid effects of whole licorice.

Since Gut Alive is manufactured in New Jersey in a GMP-certified facility, you’re getting a clean, quality-controlled product. If you’re still seeing a spike, it’s unlikely to be from Gut Alive itself. You might consider:

1. Monitoring—keep a log of your blood-pressure readings on and off the supplement (while staying on your prescribed meds).

2. Dietitian Support—our in-house team of professional dietitians and nutritionists can review your overall regimen (including Gut Alive) and make targeted suggestions to help you maintain balanced blood pressure without losing the gut benefits you enjoy.

Yes, the capsules of Gut Alive can be opened and the contents mixed into a drink if swallowing pills is difficult. The contents are safe to consume this way, as the active ingredients remain effective whether taken in a capsule or mixed with a drink.
