Gut Flora Complex

Gut Flora Complex – Your Support for a Healthy Gut Flora

This Gut Flora Complex powder is a well-considered blend of seven well-researched bacterial strains and resistant dextrin, a valuable prebiotic.The combination of the probiotic bacterial mix with the prebiotic fiber (dextrin) positively influences the gut microbiome. Additionally, the powder contains biotin, which contributes to the maintenance of a normal intestinal mucosa.

Why is the gut flora so important?

The gut flora, also known as microbiota, encompasses the multitude of microorganisms that inhabit our intestines. It influences not only digestion but also the immune system, energy metabolism, and even mental health. A balanced gut flora is essential for your well-being. The beneficial bacteria help to better absorb nutrients, modulate the immune system, and regulate inflammation. 

The diversity and functionality of the gut flora are determined not only by the bacteria present but also by their diet.To multiply and perform their tasks optimally, they need – just like us – a suitable food source. These are the fibers, also called prebiotics: They are indigestible food components that serve as valuable nourishment for the good gut inhabitants. 

The perfect combination of probiotics and prebiotics

With the Gut Flora Complex, you receive a high-quality blend of probiotic bacterial strains and the ideal "food" for these microorganisms.

The included fibers, the resistant dextrin (RS4) from corn, not only serve as food for the gut flora but also promote the production of short-chain fatty acids. These special fatty acids strengthen the gut barrier, modulate the immune system, and even influence the gut-brain axis, which is increasingly gaining importance as a research field.

Each serving (3 g) contains 2.7 g of fiber and a combination of seven scientifically researched bacterial strains with a total of 2 billion colony-forming units (CFU):

• Lactobacillus reuteri – Known for its ability to produce the antimicrobial reuterin. Supports gut health, promotes a strong intestinal barrier, and has anti-inflammatory properties (also in the oral cavity).
• Streptococcus thermophilus – Facilitates lactose digestion and can thus minimize digestive discomfort from dairy products. Helps strengthen the immune system and prevent the colonization of harmful bacteria in the gut.
• Bifidobacterium lactis – One of the most versatile bifidobacteria; supports the immune system, strengthens the intestinal barrier. Possible soothing effect on digestive issues.
• Bifidobacterium longum – Ideal for individuals with sensitive intestines - can alleviate symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. Contributes to promoting a healthy gut flora and supports the digestive process.
• Bifidobacterium infantis – Essential strain for the early development of the immune system and healthy digestion. Particularly important in the early years of life, but also beneficial for adults.
• Lactobacillus plantarum – A particularly versatile microorganism with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Contributes to gut health by displacing unwanted germs and improving digestion.
• Bifidobacterium adolescentis – Plays a key role in carbohydrate metabolism and helps reduce inflammation in the gut. Supports a healthy balance of gut flora.

New: Bifidobacterium adolescentis – a promising bacterial species

B. adolescentis has been identified in recent human studies as a key factor in regulating body weight. This bacterial species naturally occurs in the gut and is known for its positive effects on metabolism.

Scientific studies show that B. adolescentis strains:

• Can metabolize prebiotics such as arabinoxylan, XOS, and GOS
• Produce acetic acid and lactic acid, which support important metabolic functions
• Can promote the production of GABA (a neurotransmitter that reduces stress)
• Synthesize B vitamins such as folic acid
• Can support the growth of other beneficial bifidobacteria

Thanks to these properties, B. adolescentis is a valuable component of the gut flora complex.

What distinguishes the Gut Flora Complex?

The powder is excellently soluble, slightly sweet in taste, and versatile in application. It can be easily stirred into foods and beverages – ideal for daily use.

The combination of probiotics and prebiotics enables optimal effectiveness: The microorganisms are directly fed, allowing them to multiply and produce valuable short-chain fatty acids. Additionally, the included biotin contributes to the normal function of the intestinal mucosa and energy metabolism.

Frequently Asked Questions & Answers by Edubily

There are black specks in the powder? What is that?

This is completely normal. The black specks are freeze-dried probiotics that are intentionally included and do not affect the quality of the product.

Do I get bloating from the powder – is that normal?

Yes, this is a normal reaction to fiber, as it is broken down by gut bacteria, which can produce gases. If the bloating is uncomfortable, it is advisable to gradually increase the intake or reconsider the approach.

Switching to the capsules might be an option if you react sensitively to the powder complex.

What is the difference compared to the gut bacteria capsules?

While the gut flora complex is ideal for people with a healthy digestive system, the capsules are specifically designed for individuals with a more sensitive gut.

The powder contains prebiotics like resistant dextrin, which serves as valuable food for the good gut bacteria. However, such fibers can cause discomfort like bloating in cases of existing digestive issues or irritable bowel syndrome.People who are sensitive to fermentable fibers (FODMAPs) may have difficulty tolerating the powder.

In contrast, the capsules contain only a small amount of apple fiber powder, which serves as a well-tolerated alternative. Unlike inulin, which is found in many probiotics and often causes digestive discomfort, the capsules are designed to be as gentle as possible on the gut.

Ultimately, the form of administration is also a matter of personal preference: While the powder can be flexibly stirred into drinks or foods, the capsules offer easy intake without additional effort.
