Gut Brain – Prebiotic Powder

Our gut is often referred to as our 2nd brain and contain a huge amount of nerve cells which communicate with the brain. This is called the gut-brain axis. Our mental health is affected by our gut health. Anxiety and depression are becoming more common as more people’s gut go out of balance due to the increased use of herbicides, GMO’s and antibiotics in foods.

NuMeSA GUT BRAIN contains Lion’s Mane to help the brain and the gut, 4 types of prebiotic fibre to feed the gut microbiota and kefiran derived from water kefir cultures.

WHAT IS LION’S MANE?
Lion’s mane is a type of mushroom and natural nootropic that can enhance mental functioning, improving memory and mental clarity. They support neurogenesis and neuroplasty, making it easier to learn. Lion’s mane has been used in the treatment of MS, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s as well as brain fog. Lion’s Mane is a rich source of antioxidants and polysaccharides, both of which have anti-inflammatory effects.

In Gut health, Lion’s Mane inhibits the growth of H. Pylori, the bacteria mostly responsible for causing stomach ulcers. Lion’s mane is also good for the heart and can improve fat metabolism and lower triglyceride levels, reducing the risk of heart disease. Lion’s Mane also protects the intestines from inflammatory bowel diseases like ulcerated colitis and Chron’s.

WHAT ARE PREBIOTICS?

A healthy gut starts with feeding it the right foods.

What is the prebiotic vs probiotic difference? Well probiotics wouldn’t even be able to do their job without prebiotics. These little non-digestible fiber compounds are known as Oligosaccharides. They ferment in the body and results in a whole bunch of good-for-you effects including feeding the microbes, weight loss, improved immune system. Prebiotics are compounds derived from non-digestible carbohydrates that confer health benefits to the host by selectively stimulating the growth of intestinal bacteria.

WHAT IS KEFIRAN?

The kefir grain or scoby has a varying and complex microbial composition that includes species of yeasts, lactic acid bacterial (LAB), acetic acid bacteria (AAB) and fungi. All of these microorganisms may have a probiotic potential. Kefir is a beverage which is produced by the mixture of the diverse spectrum of microbial species. The largest portion present in water kefir are Lactobacilli, accounting for around 65 – 80% of the microbial population. The Lactococci and yeasts constitute the remaining portion of the microbes present in the kefir grain. Fresh kefir grains are carefully dehydrated to ensure the continued life of the probiotics.

ZINC

Zinc has been added for the building of the gut lining.

Who should NOT take prebiotics? If you suffer from SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) or FOODMAPs intolerances prebiotics are not advised.
