Description
Optimum GI/Immune Balance represents the latest science in microbiota-related supplementation. Your gut needs food, especially in a low FODMAPs fiber form that helps support TH3 balance. TH3 pathways regulate TH1 and TH2 antibodies and NK cells.
Optimum GI/Immune Balance is a citrus-based prebiotic formula that provides flavonoid-rich polyphenols to promote a healthy gut microbiota composition while protecting the gut mucosal barrier and enhancing gut immunity. The non-fiber formula feeds the gut bacteria which subsequently nurtures gut epithelial cells while producing little fermentation, providing a safe option for individuals with small intestinal bacteria overgrowth (SIBO).
Product Data
Pomegranate Fruit Extract
Pomegranate fruit extract contains polyphenols, ellagic acid and punicalagin A and B which are not only known to have antioxidant properties and help maintain normal inflammatory balance but have been shown in preclinical and clinical studies to promote the proliferation of beneficial gut microbes. These polyphenols are not absorbed intact in the small intestine and, consequently, the unabsorbed polyphenols can be metabolized by microbes in the small intestine to produce secondary metabolites such as urolithins.
Citrus Fruit Extract
Citrus fruit extract interacts with the gut microbiota to beneficially increase short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) levels and positively influence the growth of bacterial groups known to produce butyrate. Additionally, studies have shown that supplementation of citrus fruit extract helps maintain normal inflammatory balance within the GI tract.
