Game changer
I’ve struggled a lot with my tummy over the last few years. Doctors just try to throw drugs at it rather than find the route of the problem. I’m pretty sure it was an ulcer. After being on Omeprazole and having side effects with that I decided to try focul. Although it tastes a bit grim, it’s the only thing that seems to settle my issues which get better and better the more I take it. The acid reflux has massively subsided. I’ve found mixing with blackcurrant squash helps take the bitterness out. So glad I tried it although wouldn’t mind it being a bit cheaper 😉

Great to hear you’ve just started 😊
What you’re noticing is simply the minerals and botanicals, which we keep as close to their natural form as possible. When they’re introduced to very cold water, some temporary binding can happen, which can look like small 'bits', but these eventually breakdown and dissolve after a few minutes.
A handy tip is to mix it first into a small amount of room-temperature water, give it a good stir, then top up with fridge-cold water if you prefer it chilled. That usually allows everything to dissolve more smoothly and quickly. Alternatively, a small hand whisk also works well 😊

A good start ….
I’ve been taking focal every morning before breakfast along with drinking at least 1.5l of water daily (as well as other drinks through the day). I’m feeling less bloated, go regular and easier and seem in a better place overall. Haven’t stopped my ppi’s yet but will look to cut down over the next few weeks. So far so good.

Thank you so much for sharing this - it’s great to hear you’re already feeling less bloated, more regular, and generally in a better place overall
You’re taking a really sensible approach by keeping things consistent and staying well hydrated. There’s absolutely no rush with PPIs either - many people prefer to let their gut settle and strengthen first, then gradually reassess over time.
Really glad it’s going well so far, and we hope the improvements continue as you build on it. Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review, Peter.

This has been a game changer for me
Focul has made a tremendous difference to my gut and digestion .
I have been on PPIs for over 20 years , I no longer take them or any other medication for my heartburn or digestion issues .. simply because I no longer have any issues with my gut or digestion.
It’s easy to take ( I make mine with hot water like a herbal tea )
It tastes and smells lovely. I would highly recommend Focul .

Thank you so much for sharing this, Debi - that’s an incredible result to read.
We’re really pleased to hear how much of a difference Focul has made to your gut and digestion, especially after so many years of relying on PPIs. It’s great to know you’ve found a way that works so well for you and that you’re enjoying both the routine and the taste.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review and for recommending Focul - it truly means a lot to us.
Military grade protection
I bought this focul powder expecting mild digestive support. What I got instead was a level of gastrointestinal discipline usually reserved for elite military units. My IBS, once a chaotic force of nature, now behaves like it’s signed a strict contract with HR.
Before this powder, my gut operated on its own timetable — unpredictable, dramatic, and occasionally vengeful. Now? I go when I choose, like a civilised human being with a functioning calendar. It’s as if my intestines finally discovered the concept of professionalism.
No more surprise sprints. No more “will I, won’t I” suspense. Just calm, orderly, scheduled success.
If your digestive system has been freelancing for too long, this powder might just bring it back under proper management.
Highly recommend. My bathroom and I are finally on speaking terms

It’s great to hear you’re already noticing a difference with your acid reflux and that you’re managing without PPIs - that’s a big positive. With natural approaches, benefits often continue to build with consistency over the coming weeks, so it sounds like you’re on the right track.
Thanks again for the feedback, and we’re glad to hear you’ll be continuing.

Tastes awful but may be helping!
EDIT: After a few days I feel that my dyspepsia and reflux are improving. Unfortunately, it tastes like floor cleaner smells and loaded with artificial sweetener (which I am know is not the case). You can see the response below but the pungent strawberry flavour makes me gag. I can only get it down with a lot of water, having a chaser like kefir to hand to cleanse my mouth!

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review - and sorry to hear you’ve not got on with the taste so far.
We appreciate that taste preferences vary. While some enjoy the flavour profile, others may find it more challenging. It isn’t artificial or a bad batch, but comes from the natural minerals and botanical extracts, which can have a strong aroma and taste on their own. We only use a very small amount of natural stevia to balance this, with no artificial sweeteners or flavourings.
At the moment we don’t offer an unscented or unflavoured version, but it’s something we’re actively exploring as we continue developing the range. In the meantime, many customers find the taste improves significantly when mixed into a larger volume of liquid (at least 300ml), or when added to milk, smoothies or yoghurt rather than water alone.
We appreciate the honest feedback and hope you’re able to see how the product works for you over time while finding the approach that suits you best. Feel free to reach out anytime and the team will be more than happy to assist.
Happy Chappy …
After being on a 6 week course of omeprazole I was looking for something to keep my gut health good , after checking reviews I went for Focul . After a week I noticed that its working for me ,great customer follow-ups and advise from the company. Just order my 2nd batch and have subscribed to get it monthly, Well worth the money.

It’s early days but already showing signs of improvement
I have a hiatus hernia and suffer really badly with acid reflux. I prefer natural treatments and have been taking Focul for a couple of weeks. Within a couple of days my stomach bloating has gone. After a couple of weeks the heart burn is much better and I am reducing my dependence on antacids. The other bonus is that I sleep much better. I have always maintained that because of the imbalance in my digestion it disturbs my sleep. My mood is better and that is the gut brain connection in action. I have high hopes that with time I can stop taking antacids.

Not easy to dissolve in liquid so you end up swallowing dry powder, which tastes terrible. Don't know whether it works 'cos it's now binned.
In answer to the answer, I gave it 5 attempts to dissolve in water which was at room temperature. The same happened with almond milk. It doesn't really matter because the mixed berry flavour is AWFUL.

Sorry to hear you didn’t get on well with the product - that’s disappointing to hear.
Solubility can vary from household to household, particularly depending on the temperature of the liquid used. If the liquid is ice-cold, the essential minerals can temporarily bind, which can make it appear as though the powder isn’t dissolving properly. Mixing thoroughly and allowing it a little time to fully dissolve before drinking usually prevents this.
We keep the minerals as close to their natural form as possible, which is why this can sometimes occur when they’re first introduced to very cold temperatures.
It’s a shame to hear the product was binned - we’d have really liked the opportunity to offer some guidance, which may have helped you get the most out of it.
Please feel free to reach out any time if you have questions.

Hi Marilyn,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and I’m really sorry to hear about your experience.
We do apologise for the delay you experienced at the time of your purchase. Due to some unexpected delays with one of our partners, we had to temporarily switch to pre-order, and unfortunately this lasted longer than anticipated. We’re pleased to say that operations returned to normal last month, but I completely understand how frustrating that wait must have been.
I’m also sorry to hear that the product hasn’t worked for you and has unsettled your stomach. Everyone’s gut is different, and sometimes a few adjustments can make a big difference. If you’d be open to it, we’d love to understand a bit more about your situation and how you’re currently using the product so we can offer some personalised guidance.
Please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected]
- we’d be more than happy to help you get the most out of the product.
Thanks again for your honesty, and we hope to support you further.
