Your Gut is Smarter Than You Think. Feed it the Bacteria it Deserves.
Reduce bloating, anxiety, poor sleep, and brain fog in as little as 4 weeks—naturally. Gut health meets simplicity.
A Happy Gut = A Calmer Mind
The gut microbiome produces over 90% of your serotonin. It affects sleep, energy, immunity, digestion—even mood and mental clarity.
But most probiotics? Weak, unstable, and barely make it to your gut. That's why we built GutSmart: to give your body the powerful, targeted probiotics it actually needs.

What Makes GutSmart Different?
Most probiotics on the market don't survive the journey through your digestive system. GutSmart flips the script by letting you ferment potent yogurt at home—with 100x more probiotics, tailored strains for your needs, and no guesswork. Let's break it down:
Probiotic Pills
- Often <10 strains
- Most don't survive stomach acid
- Generalized blends
- Poor bioavailability
- One dry pill
- Fillers, binders, mystery coatings
GutSmart Yogurt
- Up to 100x more probiotics
- Delivered in a protective food matrix
- Sleep, Calm, Focus, Lean precision
- Superior bioavailability in yogurt
- Creamy, satisfying daily ritual
- 100% clean, made fresh by you
Control Your Fermentation with our Smart App
With our app, users can control their yogurt maker and find the best fermentation program for their needs. For optimal fermentation some probiotics will need controlled heating and cooling. We'll provide standard fermentation programs for our probiotics, but you can also play around and create your own.
Created by Experts in Crowdfunding, Wellness & Manufacturing
GutSmart is founded by Nicolas Aagaard , the creator behind the viral LastObject brand (10+ successful Kickstarter campaigns), and Josh from MorphoMFG , a manufacturing veteran who's helped launch hundreds of top Kickstarter brands.
Together, they've combined Scandinavian design, startup expertise, and manufacturing know-how to bring this project to life—with total quality and transparency.

Update #10 – Launch Day 🎉
Posted: May 2025GutSmart is officially LIVE on our direct crowdfunding platform. We're building something that works, with the community that gets it. Here's to gut health, clarity, sleep, and energy—one yogurt at a time. 💚 Team GutSmart
Update #9 – Manufacturing Lock & Final Prep
Posted: September 2024We locked our production tooling and confirmed the first round of probiotic sachets. App testing is in final QA. Packaging is eco-friendly, compact, and shipping-ready. GutSmart is nearly fermented to perfection.
Update #8 – Pre-Marketing Push
Posted: July 2024We crossed 10,000 signups on our email waitlist. Ran paid media tests. Landed early influencer deals. And began sharing our behind-the-scenes story with press, wellness creators, and startup communities. It's not just a product now—it's a movement.
Update #7 – Why We Didn't Launch on Kickstarter
Posted: June 2024If you've followed our other projects, you might be wondering: "Why not Kickstarter?" We love Kickstarter—and MorphoMFG is an official partner there. But we made the deliberate choice to launch GutSmart on our own platform for two reasons: Kickstarter won't promote health-related products. Even though GutSmart is a yogurt maker, its probiotic angle pushes it into a grey zone. That means less visibility, less control, and fewer people getting access to a life-changing product. They take a big cut. Between Kickstarter fees and payment processing, 10–12% of your support vanishes into the void. We'd rather put that money into: – Lower prices – Better materials – Free gifts – Faster delivery timelines. We're keeping the spirit of Kickstarter—community-driven funding, transparency, and awesome backer rewards—but we're doing it our way, for your benefit. Thanks for backing a better model. 🙌
Update #6 – Crowdfunding Prep Begins
Posted: May 2024We started building the campaign page, locking in packaging, and shooting our video content. We also looped in early backers from previous projects (shoutout to our LastObject and Morpho fam 👋). Excitement was building—and we knew we had something special.
Update #5 – User Testing & Improvements
Posted: March 2024We shipped early units to 20 hand-picked testers across 3 countries. Feedback was 🔥 and brutally honest. Testers asked for: – Dishwasher-safe parts – Quieter motor – Clearer notifications. We listened, iterated, and improved every part of the experience—from build quality to UI.
Update #4 – App Development Kickoff
Posted: January 2024Smart tech should feel... smart. We started designing the GutSmart app to make yogurt-making effortless and customizable. Features include: ✅ Real-time fermentation tracking ✅ Auto programs tailored to your probiotic sachet ✅ Push notifications when your batch is done ✅ Full manual control for DIY nerds
Update #3 – Probiotic Sachets R&D
Posted: October 2023We partnered with leading health labs to develop our four signature blends: SLEEP, CALM, FOCUS, and LEAN—each packed with strains backed by clinical research for gut–brain benefits. We ran early tests to see how they behaved in real-world, 24-hour fermentation settings. The results? Potent, delicious, and up to 100x stronger than store-bought yogurt.
Update #2 – Prototyping Begins
Posted: July 2023Our first functional prototype came together behind the scenes. Fermentation tests started while our design team explored shape, usability, and temperature precision. This stage was all about making it sleek, intuitive—and idiot-proof.
Update #1 – Idea Born
Posted: May 2023GutSmart was born from a late-night brainstorm between two serial founders: Nic from LastObject and Josh from MorphoMFG. We wanted to create something life-enhancing, aesthetic, and dead-simple. After Negronis in Copenhagen (true story), the vision was clear: a smart yogurt maker that puts real gut health in your hands—without pills, powders, or guesswork.
