Gut Support, Probiotics, Digestive Aid GI Distress Relief™ is Body Ecology’s key to high-quality, live probiotic products.  Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are proven to support a healthy digestive system.  What many consumers don’t know is that not all probiotics are the same. In fact, not all probiotics make it to your gut intact! The type of strains of bacteria and yeasts in your probiotics matter.  You need something strong, resilient, and most importantly, effective.   Our formula contains a superstar blend of microscopic strains of specific bacteria and yeast. This superstar blend is more likely to survive the acidic journey through the stomach and into the colon, which may help rejuvenate your overall gut health. (1) Fact: GI Distress Relief™ contains 50 billion good microscopic alchemists per serving. Forty billion Bifidobacteria -- made up of two proven Bifidus lactis (Howaru HN019 and Bl-04) strains -- combined with 10 billion S. boulardii -- a beneficial yeast that helps fight candida -- are ready and able to reach and colonize your GI tract.   Healthy Gut, Healthy Life: Give Your Gut The Support It Needs Gut health has been connected to digestion, mood, overall health, immunity, and even the way people think!  Taking the time to heal your gut is a sure path to improving overall health.  The first step is to understand what conditions you may be suffering from.  The second step is to take a probiotic that offers the right strains of bacteria and yeast that are known to promote a healthy gut microbiome. As we continue to learn more about microbiomes (this is the collection of microbes that live inside and on our bodies that keep us healthy), scientists are realizing the complexity of our microbiomes and how certain strains of bacteria in the same species can have significantly different characteristics and properties.  For example: Within the species of Bifidus, the Bifidus lactis strain Howaru has been shown to help resolve irritable bowel disease. (2) Not all strains of Bifidus have this ability. Most importantly, some strains of bacteria, viruses, or yeast in a species can survive the long journey through your digestive tract, and some can’t. Some secrete certain substances that are useful to other microbes living in the same area, and some within the same species can be harmful. This is also true for yeast. When choosing a probiotic, you must choose one that provides strains that can make the journey and support the overall health of your gut.  For example: Candida albicans is a pathogenic yeast, which can lead to unwanted infections.  However,  Saccharomyces boulardii is a wonderful yeast that helps control pathogenic yeast and promotes overall health.  S. boulardii may help negate gliotoxin, a nasty toxin that candida and mold make to suppress the immune system. (4) Different strains of microbes perform different jobs. We have selected our specific strains for their demonstrated effectiveness in supporting healthy guts.  Strain-specific probiotics (with research showing the conditions they treat) are the future. You can find two superstar strains in Body Ecology’s GI Distress Relief™: Why We Choose To Focus on B. lactis BL-04 and B. lactis HN019 Bifidobacteria is plush in your system as an infant if you are breastfed.  However, as you age, this essential bacteria diminishes - to almost nothing in the elderly.  The lack of this important bacteria can lead to gut dysbiosis.  Gut dysbiosis is an imbalance of gut microflora, or microbial community, which leads to illness and inflammation.  Simply put, it is when harmful bacteria have overpowered good bacteria in your gut, which can lead to depression, bloating, and other maladies.  When healthy bacterias are often overwhelmed by harmful bacteria due to antibiotics, stress, poor sleep, hygiene, infections, and especially a chemically-laden, processed-food diet, this can negatively impact your immunity. Bifidobacteria help fight inflammation, protect your gut lining, and maintain a balanced environment. (3) They're essential in helping to ward off infection and may even protect against the development of disease. (3) This is but one reason why probiotics become increasingly important with each passing year.  This is also why taking GI Distress Relief™ is so important to your overall health.  As you age, a strain-specific probiotic like GI Distress Relief™ — containing the B. lactis HN019 strain shown to be especially helpful to older people and those with gut infections — can help support both your immune system and your digestive function. (4) The Journey of Good Health Begins In The Gut A healthy gut is the root of a healthy life.  A healthy gut directly impacts all aspects of your life, including mood, cognition, immunity, digestion, and overall health and well-being.  If you want a healthy life, functional medical practitioners know “First, fix the gut.”  Regardless of your health struggles, a healthy gut is key to improving your immune system and finding overall health and wellness.  Your gut is your key to good health.  When you heal your gut, you are empowered to shift your entire wellbeing and positively impact how well you age.  You have control over what’s happening in your gut! Even when struggling with chronic symptoms and illness, the steps you take to support your gut can lead to overall improvements in your health. Your microbiome is evolving every minute, and can easily be guided to improve. While you may already know that disease begins in your gut, your health also originates there. (5) This is critical to understand. When you help your gut recover, you positively influence your health and your longevity. Support your gut’s repair with these standout ingredients in GI Distress Relief™: Bifidus lactis - These two scientifically-supported strains, B. lactis Bl-04® and B. lactis HN019, have a long list of benefits. B. lactis Bl-04® may help improve hay fever, allergies, and immune response while helping to decrease side effects from antibiotics. (6,7) B. lactis HN019 may promote better immunity and bowel elimination while helping to relieve constipation. (8,9) Saccharomyces boulardii - S. boulardii is one of the few probiotic yeasts that scientists have studied in the context of type 2 diabetes. (10) In animal studies, researchers found that S. boulardii may help minimize liver damage and inflammation. It also safeguards against diarrhea and can break down toxins from pathogenic bacteria, including the anthrax toxin. (11) Sunfiber - This unique prebiotic (fiber) is essential to our gut-soothing formulation. Tasteless, colorless, water-soluble, and gluten-free, Sunfiber successfully feeds Bifidus. It’s also safe for those who may have SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), SIFO (small intestinal fungal overgrowth), IMO (intestinal methanogen overgrowth), and histamine intolerance. (12) If you have digestive problems, autoimmune issues, mood disorders, and aren’t happy with how you’re aging, or if you find yourself dragging through your day more often than you used to, a strain-specific probiotic like GI Distress Relief™ can help. Of course, you’ll want to remove the cause or causes of your gut dysbiosis — especially inflammatory foods and infections like candida. Then, focus on establishing a healthy microbiome in your small and large intestines.  *This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA.

You might be familiar with traditionally cultured beets -- like beet kvass, the probiotic tonic that’s been enjoyed in Russia and Ukraine for centuries. What you may not know is that beets are making a comeback. Especially the fermented variety.   Beets, while delicious and nutritious, have been overlooked in our modern world. But as more research explores and confirms their benefits, expect to see them popping up everywhere, at your favorite restaurant or even on your dinner table. Fermenting solves the sugar problem -- a major concern for many -- neutralizing much of beets’ sugar content with the help of beneficial bacteria that take gut health to the next level.   Here are some of the biggest reasons to love Body Ecology’s BeetBiotic™: Extra-nutritious. A beet beats a banana when it comes to potassium levels. Beets are also rich in folate, iron, magnesium, potassium, selenium, zinc, and vitamins A and C.  Energy-boosting protein. Fermenting naturally breaks down protein into amino acids your body can use. BeetBiotic™ is an easy-to-digest source of vegetarian protein.  Blood pressure balancer. Diets high in certain fruits and vegetables, and beetroot juice, in particular, has been shown to potentially have a balancing effect on blood pressure.3 Heart protective. COPD and heart failure patients supplementing beetroot have seen exercise duration increase.4 The COPD patients also had lower blood pressure.5  Sports drink alternative - As good for your gut as it is convenient, BeetBiotic™ also helps hydrate and improve performance. Beetroot has helped elite cyclists finish faster.6 Better overall health. Probiotics make robust health possible by aiding in digestion and nutrient uptake. They even help produce key vitamins, like B and K, for healing.7 What really makes beets so hard to beat is their exceptional nitrate levels. Nitrates are natural chemicals your body converts into nitric oxide (NO), which works as a vasodilator. This explains beets’ profound effect on the heart and blood pressure. NO is also a big supporter of detoxification, lung function, and immunity.8,9 Not having enough NO can elevate your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and cholesterol, erectile dysfunction, and diabetes.10-13 BeetBiotic™ has unbeatable benefits. You’ll get more than you bargained for with these ingredients: Organic beetroot - A reliable source of nitrates that is also alkalizing, i.e., soothing to your body, when fermented.  Organic biodynamic brown rice - A high-protein brown rice made even more nutrient-rich through intuitive, biodynamic farming. Organic ginger - A spicy root used in ancient China and India for millennia, helping to ease nausea, aches, inflammation, infection, and even asthma.14 Organic fennel seed - A medicinal seed, rich in nitrates and traditionally consumed in India, known to regulate blood pressure, appetite, and digestion.15 Organic maqui berry - A powerful superfruit revered by indigenous Chilean people, offering support for the eyes, heart, gut, blood pressure, and inflammation.16,17 Organic millet - A nutritious, high-protein "grain-like" seed that can help stabilize blood sugar and cholesterol.18 Organic pulses - A high-protein blend of mung beans, chickpeas, and lentils made more bioavailable (and digestible) when fermented.  Organic quinoa - A mineral-rich "grain-like" seed prized for being a complete protein (containing all nine essential amino acids). Raw and cooked beets are brimming with good-for-you compounds and phytochemicals -- including betacyanin, the oxygen-promoting plant pigment that gives beets their bright-red color.  But fermented beets still can’t be beat, thanks to their low sugar content and potent probiotic profile. The sugar in raw beets can feed the opportunistic yeast candida, producing potentially harmful oxalates that may cause painful kidney stones to form. Fermenting breaks down the sugar in beets, and beneficial L. plantarum bacteria help degrade oxalates.  You don’t have to settle for less. Naturally fermenting beets helps preserve their nutrients and enhance their health benefits. Fermenting even cuts down on levels of antinutrients that can make it harder to absorb critical minerals. Beets cultured with superior probiotic strains like L. plantarum, L. acidophilus, and L. delbreukii are hardy enough to survive the trip through the digestive tract, successfully reaching and recolonizing their destination: your intestines.19 How to use: Aim to drink 2 to 3 ounces per day as a probiotic power shot, to support good gut health and for maintenance. Drink as needed and as desired throughout the day, and get creative: Mix BeetBiotic™ into a smoothie, mocktail or cocktail, mineral water, kefir, or salad dressing for an energy boost or to calm digestive troubles. Or use it to inoculate your next batch of cultured vegetables. *This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

How would you like a healthy, low-calorie source of probiotics that's gluten-free and provides you with loads of energy? Whether at home, in the office, or on the go - you don't have to feel tired, sluggish and "zapped" anymore? InnergyBiotic combines all the best features of an: Energy drink Sports drink Performance drink Probiotic superfood In today's line up of energy drinks and sports drinks, you are often getting nothing more than sugar mixed with inferior protein and questionable vitamins and minerals. These drinks boost your energy for a short time...perhaps they promise to replenish your electrolytes... but actually steal energy and vitality from your long-term health. The Body Ecology line of probiotic liquids help maintain a good balance of intestinal microflora. InnergyBiotic is truly delicious too. InnergyBiotic is special because it was created by fermenting a blend of high protein, gluten free grains, grain-like seeds and beans...all sources of easily digested vegetarian proteins. InnergyBiotic not only provides you with beneficial microflora to maintain healthy digestion, but it also contains specific ingredients such as high performance peptides (easily digestible protein sources), antioxidants and other nutritional ingredients. Benefits An easily digestible source of vegetarian protein - Fermentation naturally breaks down protein into easily digestible amino acids that your body can more quickly utilize. A gluten-free, delicious probiotic liquid supplement - With InnergyBiotic, you have a gluten-free source of healthy probiotics. Probiotic-rich InnergyBiotic helps maintain healthy digestion and immune function. When the foods you eat digest well you feel this as a boost of energy. An easy, convenient source of probiotics - Probiotics in the form of fermented foods and drinks have long been a cornerstone of the Body Ecology program. Today, the healing benefits of probiotics are even being recognized mainstream medicine. The probiotics in InnergyBiotic are targeted to survive stomach acid that kills most probiotic supplements. The special blend of microflora in InnergyBiotic help recolonize your intestines quickly. Probiotics increase the bio-availability of each meal making digestion and assimilation easier. A healthy digestive tract can better absorb nutrients, helping to maintain proper levels of nutrition. Probiotics are beneficial microorganisms that work to keep you healthy by keeping bad bacteria, fungal infections and parasites at bay. Most people have an overgrowth of the "bad guys," but when you drink a probiotic liquid like those in our delicious InnergyBiotic you can obtain only the "good guys." These are the ones that keep the bad guys at bay. The Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) found that drinks with protein and carbohydrates enhance the efficiency of carbohydrate utilization, improves muscle tissue repair and reduces muscle fibre damage. Instead of using sugar, caffeine and manufactured vitamins and minerals to create energy, InnergyBiotic provides natural, whole fermented foods in liquid form. InnergyBiotic is the best way to maintain energy because it works to build your health AND your energy through whole foods and active probiotics. Maintain gut health - probiotics (healthy microflora) are key to your long term health because they aid your digestion and assimilation of nutrients. Healthy microflora even help make important vitamins for healing, like B vitamins and vitamin K. If you look at the nutrition labels of the so-called sports drink or energy drinks, you'll see a lot of quasi-foods and forms of sugar. These designer drinks are like candy in a can, giving you instant gratification in the form of a sugar high. InnergyBiotic is the best energy drink and sports liquid because it goes way beyond instant gratification. With InnergyBiotic, you get a probiotic-rich whole food in liquid form, making the protein and microflora more bio-available for your body. You get energy that lasts and a protein-carbohydrate drink that supports muscle maintenance. Superior Ingredients Organic Quinoa - a "grain-like" seed related to the spinach family that is prized for being a complete protein (contains all 9 essential amino acids that are required by the body as building blocks for muscles). Compared to other grains, quinoa is higher in calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, iron, copper, manganese, and zinc than wheat, barley, or corn. It is also rich in fiber and antioxidants. Organic Millet - a high-protein "grain-like" seed, millet nutrition is important for B vitamins, magnesium, calcium, tryptophan, fiber and antioxidants.  Organic Biodynamic Brown Rice - biodynamic farming takes organic to an even higher level by uniting the farm as a unit in which soil, humans, animals and nature work in harmony to produce your food. High-protein brown rice is made even more nutrient-rich through farming methods that honor our Mother Earth. Organic High-Protein Pulses - chickpeas and lentils get a boost in digestibility and nutrients when fermented. Because we humans cannot digest unfermented pulses, fermenting these potentially-valuable foods breaks them down to help your body obtain the nutrients in them. Important: Fermented foods and drinks containing both a probiotic and a prebiotic are called a synbiotic. The synbiotic effect from blue agave, honey, the gluten free grain-like seeds and the brown rice in InnergyBiotic means that not only does it help populate your intestines with beneficial microflora (probiotics), it also helps improve the survival, implantation and growth of newly added microflora strains. The microflora consume this sweet food, yet leave you all the benefits of pulses, seeds and grains. Superior Probiotics Lactobacillus acidophilus Lactobacillus delbreukii Full of B vitamins, 9 essential amino acids (creating a perfect protein), magnesium, calcium, tryptophan, antioxidants and a synbiotic blend of probiotics, InnergyBiotic is your healthy performance drink! Whether you want to climb Mt. Everest, make it through a long day at work or create lasting energy for your future health, InnergyBiotic is a delicious way to build deep inner energy so that you can start performing at your optimal best!

This is because they contain a combination of digestive enzymes and probiotics that are required to ensure a healthy and happy life for your furry companion. By introducing probiotics for pets you will be providing your beloved four legged friend with the essential nutrients to support intestinal and gut health, as well as improving their immune function and overall well being. Whether you’re looking for digestive enzymes for dogs or probiotics for cats, you can introduce Novequin PET at any stage of their life no matter how old they are. How Does Novequin PET Supplements Work? Specifically designed to support the immune and digestive health in your pets, Novequin PET probiotics for dogs helps to improve this function. The same way we experience stress from our day to day lives; animals too are confronted with stress and physical strain while living their lives, which can negatively affect their digestive function. Factors that can contribute to this can be anywhere from changes in their environments, changes in their diet or nutritional deficiencies. Your pets can even experience additional stress and anxiety if they are left home alone for many hours of the day, causing an intestinal imbalance resulting in a decline in their heath and happiness. By providing them with probiotics for pets with Novequin PET, you can be confident that their sensitive digestive system is functioning at its best. Novequin PET contains beneficial bacteria and enzymes that your pet needs in order to feel their best. By introducing Novequin PET to your furry friend’s diet, they will be provided with the good bacteria and supportive enzymes that work to protect their sensitive digestive system. How Does Novequin PET Supplements Improve Digestion   Novequin PET supplements are the perfect option if your pet is suffering from digestive issues. Because they contain a combination of digestive enzymes and probiotics, they work together to ensure a healthier pet. But how does introducing this into your pet improve digestion? Digestive enzymes are essentially proteins that act as catalysts in biochemical reactions. What sets Novequin PET apart from other supplements for pets is that it contains a variety of different enzymes that help break down many common foods in a typical animal’s diet. Specifically, Novequin PET enzymes help digest fibre, protein, fat and carbohydrates.  How long does it take Novequin PET to work? The time it takes for Novequin PET supplements to work will vary from pet to pet. From dogs to cats and every pet in between, as every animal is different it can take longer for the effects to kick in depending on the pet. Weight, size and species are all factors that determine how quickly Novequin PET takes to work. However, some pet owners reported seeing the benefits within one day of supplementing. As results will differ with some working slower and some seeing benefits faster, the general rule is you will need to wait at least a month to see the desired outcome and up to three months for optimal results. Why Novequin PET Are The Best Probiotics For Dogs By introducing digestive enzymes for dogs you can ensure the health and happiness of your four legged friend. Dogs are known for being happy and loyal animals, but when their health is on the decline it can be difficult to spot as they can’t communicate when something is wrong. This can lead to them suffering for a long time before receiving treatment, causing their condition to worsen overtime. Therefore, if you spot any of the following symptoms: shedding fur, unpleasant breath or unusual bowel movements, you may want to try implementing digestive enzymes for dogs. Novequin PET works to restore gut health within our furry companion, as these supplements for pets contain beneficial microorganisms, which help assist your dog’s overall digestive system. Containing prebiotic isomalto-oligosaccharide (IMO), an all natural, non-GMO prebiotic fibre which is responsible for promoting digestive health in your canine companion. As IMO is a prebiotic, when it enters your dogs intestines, it’s consumed by the probiotics already present in their gut, which allows for the good bacteria to flourish. As dogs have sensitive digestive systems, introducing Novequin PET can help make sure everything is well balanced. There are many contributing factors that can lead to something becoming unbalanced leading to an array of uncomfortable symptoms in your pup. From excessive stress, nutritional deficiencies or even dietary changes. It’s common for dogs to eat food they find on their walk, which can disrupt the digestive system. Moreover, supplementing Novequin PET can prevent issues with digestion in your dog and improve their overall gut health. Why Novequin PET Are The Best Probiotics For Cats By introducing probiotics for cats with Novequin PET, you can secure optimal gut health in your fur companion. Containing a combination of digestive enzymes and probiotics for cats, they work together to relieve digestive problems in your beloved pet. The enzyme amylase works to break down starches, helping to ease the digestion of excess starches processed in the large intestine. This is important as cats are unpredictable; if you own an outdoor cat you can’t control what they eat outside and often catch, kill and eat things they shouldn’t. If they have digestive issues, this could lead to problems with their gut health. Therefore, by introducing this enzyme into your cat’s diet, it will assist in easing any digestive discomfort, leading to a happy cat. Suggested Use: In order to achieve the desired result from Novequin PET, it’s essential that you follow the dosage recommendation which will determine the amount to add to either wet or dry food. Or if you’re unsure, speak to your vet. For small pets weighing under 5 lbs, simply add ½ to 1 scoop 1-2 times per day – or 1-3 times if they weigh 6-25 lbs. Animals that weigh 26-75 lbs will require 1-2 scoops 2-3 times a day. For larger pets weighing 76-150 lbs, you will need to add 2-3 scoops between 2-4 times per day.

It is responsible for 2 extremely important processes in our body. The first process is digestion.No matter how healthy (or not) your diet may be, optimal gut health is important for digestion so that you can absorb nutrients from food efficiently, utilize the building blocks that you need to maintain your body, and efficiently convert the food you eat into energy.Digestive enzymes are proteins that your body makes (mainly in your pancreas, but also in your small intestine, stomach and mouth) to break down food so your body can absorb the nutrients.For example, the digestive enzyme lipase is made to break down fats into glycerol and smaller fatty acids. The digestive enzyme lactase is made to help break down the natural sugar contained within milk which is called lactose.The second extremely important process that your digestive tract is significantly responsible for is your immune system. In fact, around 70% of your immune system is in your gut, which means good gut health is essential for optimal immune function to fight off bacteria, viruses and other pathogens that are dangerous to our bodies and can make us unwell.A healthy gut should contain many billions of “good” bacteria which multiply rapidly and create an acidic environment in the intestines so that the “bad” bacteria isn’t able to proliferate. The balance of these bacteria is often referred to as the gut microbiome (referring to microbes that are present in your digestive system).When your gut is not in good health, it will struggle to get rid of toxins (like endotoxin, believed to be a key factor in premature aging [1]) and substances that are left over from metabolic processes (metabolic waste) that must be excreted because they cannot be used by our bodies.What Impacts the Health of Your Gut & Digestion?If there is a problem with your digestive tract then digestive symptoms such as diarrhea, constipation, bloating, excess gas, abdominal pain, acid reflux and more can develop. But poor gut health can cause inflammation throughout the body, leading to a myriad of different health issues.In fact, ancient traditional modalities of health and healing, like Ayurvedic Medicine, actually believed that ‘all’ ill health had its origins in the gut.The gut is also known as an “extension of the brain” because its walls are lined with a system of neurons that help to govern the function of the gastrointestinal tract, which is known as the intrinsic or enteric nervous system. Again, this was known for thousands of years by Ancient Eastern systems like Taoism, the origin of Acupuncture and Chi Kung, who often referred to the gut as the ‘second brain’.Poor gut health has also been linked to the development of autoimmune disorders.There are many things that can damage the health of your gut and result in worsened digestion, such as: Genetic Factors (see Genetic Insights for more info on how your genetics may increase the likelihood of having gut issues.) Poor diet, including excess sugar and processed foods Nutritional Deficiencies Eating in a stressed state, usually leading to eating too quickly and not chewing your food enough Dehydration GastroIntestinal Dysbiosis, especially SIBO where too many bacteria grow in the small intestine (they are mainly meant to be in the large intestine, even ‘good’ bacteria can cause issues if too many are in the small intestine.) Food intolerances (although these maybe a symptom of gut issues, rather than cause)   Frequent Antibiotics Alcohol (along with any other downsides, alcohol kills all bacteria, good and bad, on contact, similar to an antibiotic, which is why it’s used as a disinfectant) Lack of exercise Smoking Lack of or Poor Quality Sleep Chronic Stress Is There a Test for Digestion?There are a variety of tests that can be taken to check your digestive health. Some of these include:Fecal Occult Blood Test, Stool Culture, Barium Meal, drink or enema, CT, CAT or MRI scans, Defecography, Ultrasound, Colonoscopy, Endoscopic procedures and more. Consult your physician if you are worried about symptoms you are experiencing and they will help you to determine the best course of action.Because your gut microbiome is so important to your overall health [2], it’s important to understand what’s going on, and how your gut is balanced.Microbiome tests can be conducted by your physician or at home. Although some tests use blood or saliva, the most comprehensive microbiome tests will require a stool sample.Your stool sample will be sent to a laboratory to be tested where they will analyze the balance of microbes in your gastrointestinal system.This will help you and your doctor understand if there is an imbalance of microbes that is causing problems to your overall health.The Top 8 Ways to Improve Your Gut Health:Here’s the top 8 changes you can make to your lifestyle to help support and improve your gastrointestinal health: Eat a clean, diverse organic diet full of nutrient dense foods. Processed (especially fast) foods cause harm to your gut microbiome [3]. Be sure to include prebiotic foods (a type of fiber that isn’t digested) [4] such as oats, bananas, chicory and asparagus, because they promote the growth of certain types of good bacteria. Note: prebiotic foods can make issues worse IF you have too many bacteria in the small intestine. If you suspect this is the case, get the advice of a professional who specializes in gut health. Eat in a relaxed state, where you will naturally eat slower and chew your food properly. Being in a stressed state is sometimes necessary, but while you are in a stressed state, digestion slows down significantly, and you produce much less of the digestive juices you need to sanitize and process your food, like saliva, stomach acid and bile. You’ll also tend to eat more quickly and not chew enough. So make sure you calm down before you start eating, even if it’s just taking a few deep breaths. This is where the tradition of saying grace comes from: even if you have no religious leanings, you may want to consider it as a way of refocusing your mind to be in a less stressed state, which will help you digest better!And once you’re relaxed, it will be easier to chew your food enough, sometimes as much as 30 times before swallowing, which helps your body to more easily digest the food and absorb as many nutrients as possible [5]. Find out if you’re intolerant to certain foods. Eating foods you're intolerant to will affect your digestive health, resulting in bloating, gas, diarrhea and more [6]. Speak to your physician to organize a skin prick or blood test.Another way to narrow down your intolerances is to record the foods you’ve eaten - be sure to write down how these foods make you feel. Only change one or two things at a time, so that you can easily identify any changes.If you suspect a food, many recommend an elimination diet, where you remove the suspected food for around a week, and then introduce it again, seeing if you notice any symptoms when you add it back into your diet. Limit alcohol consumption. Alcohol can induce changes to the microbiome in the gastrointestinal tract, (due to its ability to kill bacteria, but not kill and often feed yeasts such as candida) which can lead to increased oxidative stress amongst other problems [7]. Reduce your stress. Chronic Stress can seriously affect your guts microbiome composition [8].Occasional Stress is healthy, but ongoing stress is not. If you struggle to relax, there are many ways to lower your stress levels, such as meditation. You can also try supplementing with our Serenity Anti-Stress Support or 5 HTP products. Improve your sleep. Poor sleep and sleep deprivation can affect your microbiome diversity [9]. Our Sleep Aid Plus can also help, and read the page for more info on how to Sleep better naturally. LINK! Drink more water and stay hydrated. This is another way to encourage microbiome diversity [10], and staying hydrated is essential to your overall health, as well as reducing the likelihood of constipation.   Take a digestive enzyme supplement that is also packed full of live “good” bacteria that can help to boost your digestion and gut microbiome: Protease. Responsible for breaking down proteins into amino acids. In a study on piglets, protease supplementation increased nutrient utilization efficiency and growth performance [11].Lipase. Responsible for the breakdown of Fat into fatty acids, ready for your cells to absorb. Lipase is a very important ingredient in a digestive enzyme blend, because many of us struggle to digest the amount of fat we eat.Lactobacillus acidophilus. Often referred to as L. acidophilus, lactobacillus acidophilus is a variety of bacteria that can be found in the intestines which is essential for human health [12].Lactobacillus casei.  A powerful probiotic that is extremely beneficial to the digestive system. A study on patients with chronic constipation found that a probiotic drink containing L.casei helped to see improvements alongside other therapy [13].Lactobacillus plantarum. Found mainly in fermented plant foods such as pickles, L. plantarum has been shown to have anti-inflammatory, blood sugar regulatory, anti-weight gain and antioxidant properties. Studies have shown L. plantarum to reduce the incidence of abdominal pain, loose stools and diarrhea associated with antibiotics [14].Bromelain. Found in pineapples - bromelain is an enzyme that digests protein and has powerful anti-inflammatory properties. It also has pain killing properties [15].Papain.
