The gut microbiome is being discovered as an organ of utmost importance in the overall health and wellbeing of its host. The Human Microbiome Project has taught us that the microbes that reside in and on our body are key to a balanced immune system and healthy brain function.*A myriad of chronic conditions that are now being found to have underpinnings in an imbalance of specific gut bacteria. Too many, or too few, of certain bacteria in the GI tract may lead to chronic inflammatory conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome, arthritis, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, obesity, anxiety, depression, autoimmune disorders and even autism.*This delicate balance of microbes in our body can disrupted by antibiotics, pharmaceuticals, herbicides, toxins, poor dietary choices, infections and stressful life events. Once disrupted, traditional approaches and medication may cause further insults to the microbiome. An integrative approach involving dietary changes, enzymes, probiotics and prebiotics can help re-establish a healthy gut, healthy body and healthy brain.*Prebiotics are nondigestible dietary fibers that nourish the healthy gut bacteria.*Prebiotics are key to re-establishing and replenishing a healthy gut microbiome. When the good bacteria in the GI tract ferment these fibers, the fibers are turned into short chain fatty acids. These very important short chain fatty acids nourish and fuel a healthy gut lining. Having the appropriate types and amounts of short chain fatty acids helps with more than gut function. An important short chain fatty acid, called butyrate, has anti-inflammatory and immune modulatory effects even outside the gut.*Fiber-Solve contains a blend of various soluble and insoluble prebiotic fibers that work in conjunction to provide a variety of health effects:
Acacia Fiber (GOS)
Acacia can increase lactobacillus and bifidobacteria in our gut with fewer gastrointestinal side effects, such as gas and bloating.*
Sunfiber/PHGG/Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum (GOS, MOS)
PHGG has multiple benefits, it increases SCFA production.as well as effects on lowering blood sugar, improving hyperlipidemia and helping to maintain satiety.*
PHGG can also improve constipation.*
Fenugreek Seed Powder (GOS)
Fenugreek Seed Powder has a long history of traditional use in improving digestion, gastric motility, immune-modulation, infections and lipids.*
It works synbiotically with the good bacteria, coagulans MTCC 5856. The combination of a probiotic and prebiotic is called a synbiotic. Synbiotics have beneficial health effects in the body.*
Flaxseed Powder (insoluble fiber)
This fiber contains important lignans, antioxidants and omega 3 fatty acids.*
Flaxseed powder can improve constipation and high LDL cholesterol.*
Larch Arabinogalactan (GOS)
Larch arabinogalactan can decrease duration of colds or viruses. It may act on the immune system via the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT).*
