Hippocrates was right ….”All Disease Begins in the Gut.”
Modern scientific researchers are figuring out just why that’s so.
I’d like to share with you a few of my favorite nutrition supplements for gut health.
MegaSporeBiotic probiotic — foundational for gut microbiome rebalancing, maintaining gut lining and more!
Cal-Mag Butyrate — foundational for reducing inflammation, detoxifying and maintaining gut lining and more!
Histamine-Digest (Umbrellux-DAO) — for clearing histamines in the gut and histamine symptom relief.
MegaSporeBiotic
Microorganisms in your gut are the “commanding officers” that give orders and send messages throughout your body that control your health.
If your gut ecology is “off” then their communications so will be communications, which will affect your health and well-being. Everything is affected, from nutrient absorption to hormonal balance, from mood and cognitive function to weight management, from your immune health to your energy levels and even your ability to sleep well.
So, how do we get our the ecology of our gut microbes back in balance? One of the best ways is with a clinically studied spore-based probiotic like MegaSporeBiotic, which crowds out the “bad” bacteria, and supports the growth of the “good guys” that are under-populated. It’s different from most other probiotics.
Most other probiotics contain strains that don’t survive the “trip” through the GI tract. MegaSporeBiotic is different…it gets where it needs to be and is not destroyed by stomach acid.
MegaSporeBiotic also helps to heal the gut by reducing inflammation, healing leaky gut, producing key nutrients like antioxidants, B-Vitamins and Vitamin K2 and increasing short chain fatty acids like butyrate. MegaSporeBiotic aids digestion, improves regularity and provides immune modulation.
MegaSporeBiotic is the foundational piece of the Total Gut Restoration program from Microbiome Labs, also with MegaPre and MegaMucosa (or MegaIgG2000).
Cal-Mag Butyrate
Many gut bacteria naturally produce short chain fatty acids like butyrate. Butyrate encourages the formation of friendly bacteria in the gut, lowers the expression of inflammatory immune markers, detoxifies ammonia, and supports the health of the gut lining.
But, if you have a poor gut ecology/dysbiosis, not enough gut species producing short chain fatty acids like butyrate), or gut inflammation, a butyrate supplement like Cal-Mag Butyrate may be beneficial. Butyrate has been clinically studied in inflammatory intestinal conditions like IBS, IBD and Crohn’s. You can find Cal-Mag Butyrate in my online store.
(Butyrate got its name because it’s found in butter!)
Histamine Digest (formerly Umbrellux DAO) – Histamine Symptom Relief
Though in the long-term you certainly need to address what’s underlying your gut issues, in the short-term people may also need relief.
Histamine Digest can provide relief for people with histamine intolerance. When sensitive individuals eat histamine-rich foods (or alcohol or drugs that release histamines or block the DAO enzyme) they may suffer from symptoms like diarrhea, stomach pain, hives, nasal congestion, red eyes, or flushing.
Taken about 15 minutes before a meal, Histamine Digest supplies an enzyme that clears histamine in the digestive tract. While our bodies naturally make DAO, some people may have a higher requirement or do not produce enough DAO on their own.
