FEATURES AND BENEFITS<\/strong><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n Product expiration date 9\/22<\/strong><\/p>\r\n No doubt you’re eating a carefully calculated balance of protein, carbohydrates, and fats. You know how important a hardcore diet is to your success. Of course, you want to get the most out of these macronutrients. Add to that your arsenal of 5% Nutrition supplements. You want to experience the full effects and benefits of these powerful products. That’s where digestion comes in. Do you want to achieve the goals you’re working hard for? Then you need to get the maximum benefits out of your diet and supplement arsenal.<\/p>\r\n Enter 5% Nutrition Digestive Defender. We didn’t just throw together one product and call it a digestive enzyme formula. You know 5% better than that! In a typical 5% style, we’ve created a dual digestive formula that outclasses anything else on the market. This is a must-have supplement that can make a tremendous difference in your results. After all, it’s ultimately all about digestion.<\/p>\r\n Digestive Defender consists of two powerful formulas: Probio-75 and Diges-TEN. Not only can you use these powerful formulas together, but you are able to use them separately as well if your needs demand it. Talk about flexibility! Yet, isn’t that one of the things that set 5% Nutrition apart from the crowd?<\/p>\r\n Let’s break these formulas down so you can see the power of 5% innovation!<\/p>\r\n This is a powerful probiotic and prebiotic formula. A probiotic is a living organism that helps restore healthy bacteria in the gut. A prebiotic supports growth of healthy bacteria. Combined, these compounds dramatically improve gut health. <\/p>\r\n SL14™ Probiotics Blend <\/span><\/b>- 75 Billion CFU (187.5mg) Prebiotic Blend Xylooligosaccharide (PreticX®) - 400mg - This is another branded ingredient. If you haven’t noticed, Digestive Defender uses several branded ingredients. This is the commitment to quality that would make Rich proud. <\/p>\r\n PreticX® is a non-digestible xylooligosaccharide. Also called XOS, this is a branded ingredient that’s been clinically studied. PreticX helps intestinal regularity and increases bifidobacteria in the colon. This supports gut health and normal metabolism.(2)<\/sup><\/p>\r\n Gut Health Blend Ginger Root Extract - 50mg - This is a plant with an extended history in traditional medicines. The active ingredient is gingerol. It supports digestion, eases stomach upset, and helps chronic indigestion.(3)<\/sup><\/p>\r\n Licorice Root Extract 4:1 - 50mg - Here’s an ingredient that’s one of the oldest remedies in the world. One of the most common uses of this plant is to ease an upset stomach. It also treats heartburn.(4)<\/sup><\/p>\r\n Peppermint Powder - 25mg - This popular ingredient has a long history of treating digestive ailments. These include indigestion, gas, and bloating. The combination of these three natural ingredients has a powerful synergistic effect on your digestive health.(5)<\/sup><\/p>\r\n This outstanding product is a full spectrum digestive enzyme complex. Diges-TEN features full disclosure labeling and exceptional dosing. This formula consists of 7 Blends. They are:<\/p>\r\n Dynamic Digestion Blend Betaine Hydrochloride - 100mg - Betaine is known by many names. Betaine Anhydrous is currently popular as an effective power and strength ingredient. It’s similar to creatine and pulls water into the muscles the same way creatine does. Then there’s betaine hydrochloride. This form of betaine promotes normal protein digestion. That’s a huge benefit for any 5%er. But there’s more. This also promotes normal gastric pH. It improves the absorption of several important minerals that include iron and calcium. Finally, it improves B12 absorption. How’s that for a list of benefits?(6)<\/sup><\/p>\r\n Ox Bile - 100mg - In the body, the liver produces bile. It is used to help break down fat. It also supports the absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. You can see the problems a deficiency might cause. Therefore, we’ve included ox bile in our innovative Diges-TEN formula.(7)<\/sup><\/p>\r\n Protein Breakdown Blend Protease - 152mg - A group of enzymes whose sole function is to break down protein.(8)<\/sup><\/p>\r\n Bromelain - 150mg - Another group of enzymes that comes from the stem of pineapple fruit. Sometimes called pineapple enzyme, this ingredient helps the body digest protein.(9)<\/sup><\/p>\r\n Pancreatin - 65mg - The primary function of this enzyme is to support the breakdown of food. This includes carbohydrates and fats, as well as protein.(10)<\/sup><\/p>\r\n Papain - 65mg - Also known as papaya enzymes, this is another enzyme that breaks down protein into smaller particles to be used by the body.(11)<\/sup><\/p>\r\n As you can see, we’ve gone beyond those other digestive formulas by providing not one, not two, but four protein-digesting enzymes in one overdosed complex. <\/p>\r\n Carbohydrate Breakdown Amylase - 108mg - A digestive enzyme that breaks down carbs for more efficient digestion and absorption.(12)<\/sup><\/p>\r\n Fat Breakdown Lipase - 70mg - This enzyme improves the digestion of fat. Lipase breaks fats down into more water-soluble compounds to help the body use fats more efficiently.(8)<\/sup><\/p>\r\n Fiber Breakdown Cellulase – 26mg - This enzyme is actually a complex carbohydrate. It helps break down the plant fiber we eat into polysaccharides. The body then uses this compound or expels it.(13)<\/sup><\/p>\r\n Milk Sugar (Lactose) Breakdown Lactase - 43mg - This enzyme breaks down lactose into simpler compounds the body can digest. By taking lactase, you can enjoy and get the benefits of quality dairy products.(14)<\/sup><\/p>\r\n Digest Best Blend <\/span><\/b>- 190mg There’s no doubt, good digestion is the key to getting the most out of your eating plan and your supplements. By using our innovative Digestive Defender, you can be sure you’re optimizing the power of 5% Nutrition supplements and your hardcore diet. There’s no reason to wait. Get 5% Digestive Defender today!<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p> Bifidobacterium 8.5 billion CFU<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Bifidobacterium are labeled as probiotics and normally live in the intestines and stomach. They are essential for helping your body perform essential functions such as digestion and fighting off harmful bacteria. There are a wide range of Bifidobacterium as well so we will outline each individually below.<\/p>\r\n Bifidobacterium breve (2 billion CFU)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Bifidobacterium infantis (2 billion CFU)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Bifidobacterium bifidum (2 billion CFU)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Bifidobacterium longum (2 billion CFU)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Bifidobacterium lactis (500 million CFU)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Lactobacillus 16.5 billion CFU<\/strong><\/p>\r\n As arguably the most common probiotic group, Lactobacillus can aid the body in the breakdown of foods, absorption of key nutrients, and defend against destructive organisms that can cause distress and other diseases.<\/p>\r\n Lactobacillus acidophilus (4 billion CFU)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Lactobacillus plantarum (2 billion CFU)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Lactobacillus bulgaricus (2 billion CFU)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Lactobacillus casei (2 billion CFU)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Lactobacillus rhamnosus (2 billion CFU)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Lactobacillus brevis (2 billion CFU)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Lactobacillus gasseri (500 million CFU)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Lactobacillus fermentum (500 million CFU)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Lactobacillus reuteri (500 million CFU)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Lactobacillus paracasei (500 million CFU)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Lactobacillus salivarius (500 million CFU)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Saccharomyces 5 billion CFU<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Saccharomyces boulardii (5 billion CFU)<\/p>\r\n Tributyrin (as Core Biome™ 30% yielding 300mg)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n The gut microbiome is responsible for contributions that maintain intestinal balance. Disturbances in this homeostasis can cause alterations in the metabolic and fermentation byproducts that occur in the gut. With the gut being so closely tied to many bodily processes involving many of the body’s vital systems, optimal gut health is of importance. The microbiota of the gut ferment undigested sugars to product short-chain fatty acids such as, acetate, propionate, and butyrate. Butyrate is especially essential as it has mechanisms of action that include effects of suppressing inflammation and immunoprotection, serving as the primary nutrient that provides energy to colonocytes, and regulating functions of gene expression, gut tissue development, oxidative stress reduction, and diarrhea control. When butyrate is depleted or scarce, GI distress and other injury can occur.<\/p>\r\n Several studies have looked at the effectiveness of supplemental tributyrin on the benefits of gut health and have shown promising results. One animal study combining tributyrin with essential oils concluded that this combination improved the intestinal morphological structure and positively altered the intestinal microbiota and metabolites that benefit gut health. Another animal study analyzing parameters for growth as it pertains to performance of the gut microbiota concluded that, with the addition of tributyrin, there was an enhanced potential for energy metabolism and indicated that tributyrin can promote changes in the gut microbial communities. These positive changes seen can contribute to improving animal performance after weaning from an infant diet to an adult diet.<\/p>\r\n Several human studies have also looked at tributyrin’s positive role on the body. Most of these studies have involved tumors of some sort, but this does provide promise to the potential benefits it can have when tumors are not present as increases in immunoprotection can beneficial for everyone. One human study showed that tributyrin was able to be cytostatic to cancer cells and induce differentiation and apoptosis (cell death) to colon cancer cells through the stimulation of interleukin-2 and -12 (2 cytokine signaling molecules in the immune system).<\/p>\r\n While more studies can be beneficial for solidifying tributyrin’s benefits on gut health, these current studies do show its ability to provide immunoprotection and boost the overall function of the vital gut microbiome. CoreBiome® has been clinically proven to be a highly bioavailable source of this vital nutrient.<\/p>\r\n Sunfiber® Guar Fiber<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Sunfiber®, a fermented, dietary fiber, is a proven prebiotic fiber that increases both Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus levels with the aim of providing digestive support. These beneficial bacteria promote a healthy gut microbiota and aim to enhance the overall function of the gut, thus leading to increased function of the other vital systems of the human body. Fermentation of Sunfiber® by the gut microbiome results in production of short-chain fatty acids such as butyrate, which as we discussed above, provides valuable energy for the digestive tract. The other benefits of this prebiotic include increasing the absorption of important macronutrients and vital minerals, increasing satiety and appetite control, regulating blood glucose levels, improving IBS related symptoms, and providing stool regularity.<\/p>\r\n Digestive Enzyme Blend (Protease, Lactase, Amylase, Lipase)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n One can easily make the argument that dietary enzymes – and in particular, digestive enzymes – are the most consistently underrated and overlooked component to a supplementation regimen. These powerful little protein structures influence or outright control a vast, complex network of bodily functions. In a fitness-specific context, digestive enzymes play an absolutely crucial role in the breaking down of dietary carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into their constitutive parts, and therefore allow your body to use them in various processes (glycogenesis, protein synthesis, etc).<\/p>\r\n Despite their critical function, many supplement companies overlook the necessity of digestive enzymes and do not include sufficient levels (and kinds) of enzymes in their products.<\/p>\r\n As usual, we take a much more comprehensive, clinical approach than the average. In Core Life Line’s Gut product, we have included a digestive enzyme blend comprised by:<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/P> Gut Health NOW HAS ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS TO BOLSTER MUCOUS MEMBRANE BARRIER FUNCTION IN THE INTESTINES, PREVENTING PATHOGENIC BACTERIA FROM ENTERING THE BLOODSTREAM, AS WELL AS APPLE PEEL POLYPHENOL EXTRACT TO GREATLY REDUCE INFLAMMATION.<\/P> AS WELL, THE PROBIOTIC COUNT HAS BEEN DOUBLED TO 12 BILLION CFU PER CAPSULE.<\/P> Gut Health is the newly updated formula originally released in 2006.

What if I told you that it was governed by trillions of bacteria, called the \"microbiota\u201d, who have long ago invaded and colonized it? What if I told you that this is as bad as it sounds? They are not all friendly \u2013 there is a war going on inside your body -- and, the bad guys are winning!<\/SPAN><\/P> Well, that is what I am telling you. It is time for YOU to fight back! SupraBiotic\u2122 Gut Feelings The Western lifestyle (including diet, lack of exercise, and alcohol use) leads to an imbalance of the bacterial composition of the gut. This results in the excess production of inflammatory signals, such as Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which escape the gut and enter the rest of your body. This leads to general digestive issues and inflammatory bowel syndromes like IBS. While fixing digestive disorders will come along for the ride, our primary focus is going to be on body composition and metabolic health. In other words, we want to make you leaner, protect against diabetes, and help keep you from having a heart attack or stroke. Probiotically Speaking In addition, probiotic treatment with several Lactobacillus species are directly associated with weight gain, body mass index, obesity, and Type-2 diabetes. They don\u2019t tell you that on the label. SupraBiotic Ingredients However, you do not want to just throw every single commercially available species and strain into a product as so many companies do. They need to be rationally combined. If not, they can interfere with each other\u2019s actions and compete for space and resources. <\/P> But, the most interesting benefit of probiotic combinations is through cross-feeding. This is when one bacterial strain produces metabolites the others use for fuel, as we will discuss in a bit.<\/P> Right now, let\u2019s get to the SupraBiotic probiotic combination.<\/P> Inhibits enemy of leptin\/insulin sensitivity Toll-like Receptor-4 (TLR-4) activity<\/P> Reinforces intestinal epithelial cells and mucosa, improving the physical barrier of the intestine<\/P> Lactobacillis Plantarum Lactobacillis gasseri Increases tight-junction protein expression and improves intestinal barrier function Lactobacillis Rhamnosum Bifidobacterium adolescentis Produces acetate and oligosaccharides which are then consumed by acetate utilizing, butyrate and propionate producing bacteria -- the ones that are not commercially available<\/P> Unfortunately, several species of bacteria with some of the very best data are not available commercially, due to regulatory issues and well as practical challenges that will not soon be resolved. Genus Bacteroides Faecalibacterium prausnitzii Akkermansia muciniphilia Roseburia Species Bifidobacterium adolescentis as Cross-Feeder<\/P> As mentioned, the most important contribution of B. adolescentis is to feed other bacteria, specifically the really good but unavailable ones above.<\/P> B. adolescentis is superior to other potential cross-feeding Bifidobacterium in that it provides a slow, steady degradation of oligosaccharides for a long, continuous release of substrate for these various bacteria to feed on. It is essentially time-released, allowing acetate feeding, butyrate producing bacteria to grow and thrive throughout the entire length of the gut.<\/P> Faecalibacterium prausnitzii is almost fully dependent on acetate, which B. adolescentis supplies. F. prausnitzii converts it to butyrate with 85% efficiency, and its growth is enhanced by co-culture with B. adolescentis. Roseburia also generally requires acetate for growth. B. adolescentis also increases Roseburia and F. prausnitzii via partial breakdown of prebiotic oligosaccharides and carbohydrates, which they can then feed on. <\/P> Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs) AMPK is basically the airbrakes on the runaway train of inflammation and \"leaky gut\u201d induced metabolic dysfunction caused by modern food processing, the Western diet, and microbial dysbiosis. In addition to its involvement in barrier function, AMPK activation is extremely positive for the great bacteria that we can\u2019t get commercially. Its activation increases Akkermansia and Bacteroides levels, at least partially by elevating production of mucin, one of their favorite foods.<\/P> Pomegranate Extract Fermented Herbs Fermented Kudzu Fermented Ginseng Mulberry Extract Selenium Queen\u2019s Bee Acid (10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid) Inhibits LPS induced cytokine production Activates PPAR-alpha, as well as AMPK, with 5 times the potency of metformin CONCLUSION\r\n

PROBIO-75<\/h3>\r\n
A good probiotic formula is all about healthy bacteria. Probiotics support digestion, enhance the absorption of nutrients, and help prevent gastrointestinal problems. There’s no doubt that improved use of the nutrients you consume can have a substantial effect on your results. This branded ingredient is an exceptional blend that consists of: Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Bifidobacterium breve, Lactobacillus fermentum, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus gasseri, Lactobacillus plantarum, Bifidobacterium lactis, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus salivarius, Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium infantis, and Streptococcus thermophilus.<\/p>\r\n
<\/b>Fructooligosaccharides (Nutraflora® FB P-95) - 400 mg - This is a branded ingredient that provides at least 95% of pure short-chain fructooligosaccharides. What are fructooligosaccharides, you might ask? They are a type of carbohydrate known as oligosaccharides. Called FOS, they are short fructose chains. These chains are a non-digestible prebiotic fiber. They pass through the small intestine. From there, they support healthy bacteria in your digestive tract.(1)<\/sup><\/p>\r\n
<\/b>This powerful blend consists of three effective ingredients. They are:<\/p>\r\nDEGIST-TEN<\/h3>\r\n
<\/b>Here’s a powerful 1-2 complex that will dramatically improve overall digestion. <\/p>\r\n
<\/b>This powerful blend of digestive enzymes optimizes protein digestion. Stop and think about that for a moment. For a bodybuilder, powerlifter, or any 5% athlete, protein is key. It goes without saying; you want to get the most out of your protein consumption. Besides, what good is it if you can’t thoroughly digest it? Let’s look at what makes up this impressive blend:<\/p>\r\n
<\/b>Of course, there’s more to a hardcore diet than protein. As important as protein is, you also need quality carbohydrates and fats. Slower-burning carbs should make up the bulk of your carb intake. Yet you also need simple carbs in the hours around your workout. That means you need optimal digestion of those carbs.<\/p>\r\n
<\/b>Of course, fat can help you feel full. Not to mention, healthy fat has a variety of roles in the body. While you want to avoid some fats, you also want to consume healthy fats such as nuts, cheese, and fatty fish, to name a few. You’ll want the most efficient digestion possible to get the full benefits from your intake of fat. <\/p>\r\n
<\/b>Fiber is important to your health. It helps lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels in the body. By controlling levels of blood sugar, fiber can also help you lose body fat if that’s your goal. Also, high-fiber foods are more filling to help keep you satisfied longer. We’ve included an enzyme to help digest fiber so you can experience all the benefits it offers.<\/p>\r\n
<\/b>Many people love dairy products yet can’t digest lactose, the sugar commonly found in such foods as milk or yogurt. This causes many people to avoid dairy products altogether. We’ve solved that problem with Diges-TEN.<\/p>\r\n
Finally, we’ve also included a blend of compounds that work together to enhance digestion and relieve digestive issues. This blend includes Ginger Root, Turmeric Powder, Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, Cayenne Pepper Fruit Extract, and Artichoke Leaf Powder. <\/p>\r\n","gtin12":"850029555278","image":["https:\/\/siteimgs.com\/10017\/item\/image001_1633636892-0.jpg"],"brand":"5% Nutrition","url":"https:\/\/www.dpsnutrition.net\/i\/31369\/5-nutrition-digestive-defender-kit-2-blts.htm","offers":{"@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"USD","price":"57.99","url":"https:\/\/www.dpsnutrition.net\/i\/31369\/5-nutrition-digestive-defender-kit-2-blts.htm","itemCondition":"http:\/\/schema.org\/NewCondition","availability":"http:\/\/schema.org\/InStock"}},{"@type":"Product","name":"Core Nutritionals GUT - 150 Cap","sku":"CU310","description":"

The Gut-Wrenching Truth<\/P>
LPS causes an increase in digestion speed, which leads to less nutrient absorption and feedback signals that tell the brain that it is time to stop eating. But, in the colon, speed is decreased which results in a greater total utilization of caloric energy from your food.
In other words, your brain tells you to keep eating and this leads to excessive fat accumulation from harvesting more calories. This aggravates the cycle further, as overeating and increased adiposity are inflammatory. So, what you have is more inflammation, more dysfunction, greater food intake, greater extraction of food, more fat accumulation, and REPEAT!
The carnage does not end here. Along with this inflammatory state is a disruption in the intestinal barrier. Intestinal permeability is increased and these inflammatory agents spill out. This is often called a \"leaky gut\u201d. The biggest culprit here is, once again, LPS.
This goes in conjunction with decrease in activity of brake signals such as short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), PPAR-alpha, and AMPK that act as anti-inflammatories and protect intestinal barrier function.
Once LPS escapes, it is active in the body and brain, just as in the intestine. In the fat tissue, this leads to fat storage. In the brain, it increases appetite, hunger, and food intake. It does so by decreasing both insulin and leptin insensitivity, peripherally and centrally, via Toll-like Receptor-4 (TLR4). At this point, your body fat thermostat is wrecked, your ability to control food intake is gone, and you are a fat storing machine.
It is important to note, this low-level but constant systemic inflammation, PRECEDES insulin\/leptin resistance and obesity. Elevated LPS levels, which occur during a Western-style and high-fat diet, initiate all of this.
More bad news: atherosclerosis, heart disease, and stroke are promoted by these same inflammatory pathways. Combined with the increased body fat and insulin resistance, you officially have the perfect ingredients for the dreaded Metabolic Syndrome.
Obviously, this is not what you want your body doing to itself. It is not what you want it doing to you. It is not what you want it doing to your life.
And, it is just a bunch of microscopic bacteria causing all of this devastation. They need to go.<\/P>
The most well-known, commercial probiotics are Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. They are also among the most common in the body, along with several other really interesting ones which are not commercially available, but we can manipulate with supplementation as you will soon learn.
Unfortunately, Lactobacillus belong to the Firmicutes phylum which is associated with weight gain and obesity. Just a 20% increase in Firmicutes with an equal decrease in Bacteroides results in an increased energy harvest of 150 calories per day in humans. That is equal to 15lbs of fat per year! Modern food processing and the Western style diet promote these negative changes in microbial proportions. Thus, one can plainly see why it can be so difficult to get lean, as well as how easily obesity has become an epidemic.<\/P>
More powerful evidence of the profound effect of the microbiota on body weight and metabolism come from studies on fecal transfer. And, yes, that is exactly what it sounds like \u2013 transferring poop from one subject\u2019s intestine to another\u2019s. In twins, transfer of an obese microbiota to lean mice was accompanied by an increase in fat cell formation, fat storage, bodyweight, fat mass, feelings of hunger, food consumption, and a dysbiotic alteration of the Firmicutes:Bacteroides ratio to reflect that of the obese model. On the other side of the coin, transferring the intestinal microbiota from lean donors to obese does the opposite \u2013 it fixes all of these things. Obviously, while it highlights the science, doing a fecal transfer is not terribly practical, appetizing, or readily available.
Fortunately, there is good news. While several species and strains of lactobacillus have been found to promote weight gain, several have also been found to protect against it. And, of course, we only used the good ones. Furthermore, Bifidobacterium have shown only positive effects to a remarkable extent.<\/P>
You may have noticed that almost no probiotic formulas contain just a single species of bacteria, nowadays. And, if you did not, I will just say that it is for a good reason. They work better in combination. Microbial diversity is good. Essentially, a diverse gut is a healthy gut. <\/P>

The Best Probiotics That Money Can\u2019t Buy<\/P>
Fortunately, there are a myriad of ways to specifically target and increase these strains using methods that ARE available. And, that is exactly what we have done. So, let\u2019s take a look at these novel wonder-bacteria.<\/P>
Bacteroides are butyrate and propionate producing. Levels were 6-fold higher in lean vs. obese subjects. It has a negative correlation with fat mass, waist circumference, and energy intake. Bacteroides levels in Type-2 diabetes were only half that of those with normal glucose tolerance. The Firmicutes:Bacteroides ratio was also significantly worse in obese patients, even in comparison with the merely overweight .
Various species in the Bacteroides genus reduced bodyweight and fat gain, triglycerides, and adipocyte volume while improving insulin and leptin sensitivity. It also lowered LPS and other inflammatory signals, while increasing fatty acid oxidation via PPAR-alpha.<\/P>
Faecalibacterium prausnitzii is butyrate producing and is considered a physiological sensor and marker of human health. It really does not get much more important than that. It is lower in the obese and type-2 diabetics, as well as higher in normal glucose tolerance vs. prediabetic subjects. It reduces inflammatory markers, improves intestinal barrier function, and is sharply decreased in various inflammatory bowel diseases.<\/P>
Akkermansia muciniphilia is mucin consuming and butyrate producing. Levels are higher in lean subjects than the general population and decreased in obesity and type-2 diabetes. This species is also inversely correlated to fasting glucose, waist-to-hip ratio, subcutaneous adipocyte diameter, plasma triglyceride levels, visceral adipose tissue mass, and insulin resistance.
Its administration reduced fat mass, adipose tissue inflammation, and enhanced insulin sensitivity. Akkermansia levels are higher in normal glucose tolerance vs. pre-diabetic subjects. It increases intestinal endocannabinoid levels, decreasing inflammatory cytokine production and protecting intestinal barrier function.<\/P>
Roseburia species are butyrate producing. Increased levels are associated with decreased body weight, fat mass, insulin sensitivity, and triglycerides -- independent of calorie intake. Higher Roseburia counts are correlated with reduced body weight, improved profile of lipid and obesity related gene expression, along with a normalized inflammatory status. It is also lower in type-2 diabetes and atherosclerosis. <\/P>
One of the primary ways that probiotic bacteria work their magic is by fermenting prebiotics and producing SCFAs (primarily acetate, butyrate, and propionate). Low carbohydrate diets can result in less fermentable material, thus lower SCFA levels, if you do not make a point to get adequate fiber. SCFAs primarily work by activating free fatty acid receptors, FFAR2 and FFRA3 and by decreasing inflammation and permeability in the gut.
Induction of FFA2\/3 protects against obesity and insulin resistance by decreasing hunger and food intake, increasing energy expenditure, and improving glucose and lipid metabolism. Butyrate is also the preferred energy source, along with Glutamine, for maintenance and repair of epithelial cells in the colon. It increases tight junction assembly, thus improving barrier function, specifically through AMPK.<\/P>
Extremely rich source of polyphenols
Polyphenols are generally prebiotic for good bacteria (Bifidobacterium, Akkermansia, Bacteroides, and Roseburia), and antibacterial for less favorable and pathogenic ones

As you can see, SupraBiotic takes the concept of probiotic far beyond where anyone has previously taken it before. It starts with bacterial species carefully and purposefully selected to protect against dysfunction of the gut and microbiota to promote better health, better appetite control, better metabolism, and better fat loss. On top of this, SupraBiotic addresses and supports novel probiotic bacterial species that you cannot attain, anywhere, and does so in a way that no other product is even close to doing. Finally, its supporting ingredients crush inflammation and repair your leaky gut, leaving your body functioning in the optimal way it is intended to.<\/P>
