Information
An imbalance of specific intestinal bacteria can lead to increased inflammation in the intestines, resulting in a so-called “silent inflammation”.
The bacteria Akkermansia muciniphila and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii counteract this development: Akkermansia muciniphila is responsible for the production of highly viscous mucous and, thereby, strengthens the intestinal barrier so that foreign germs and harmful substances cannot overcome the intestinal mucosa and enter the bloodstream. Faecalibacterium prausnitzii bacteria, on the other hand, produce special fatty acids, including butyric acid (= butyrate). These fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties and, most importantly, supply the intestinal mucosa with energy, thus strengthening the “tight junctions”. The latter are connections (membrane proteins) between the cells of the intestinal mucosa and ensure that important nutrients are selected and separated from harmful substances.
Inflammation in the intestines often occurs in overweight people, as special fat cells in the abdomen produce pro-inflammatory cytokines that can harm the entire organism.
Function
Years of scientific research have investigated which nutrients need to be added to our intestines so that they can fully perform their tasks.
OMNi-LOGiC® PLUS combines vitamins and minerals for the intestinal mucosa with important food sources for certain types of bacteria and swelling fibres that support weight loss:
- Short-chain fructooligosaccharides and galactooligosaccharides (scFOS / scGOS) are special fibres that serve the bacteria Akkermansia muciniphila and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii as food.
- Vitamin B2 maintains normal mucosal function and helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
- Calcium plays an important role in the normal function of digestive enzymes.
- As part of an energy-balanced diet, Glucomannan contributes towards weight loss.
Interesting facts
Probiotics and prebiotics
Through the supply of viable symbionts (= probiotics), the amount of commensal intestinal bacteria increases. These bacterial species are either aerobic or facultative anaerobic and need oxygen for their metabolism.
However, not all bacterial strains can be easily taken in form of dietary supplements – a big part of our intestinal bacteria are strictly anaerobic and cannot be cultivated or stored outside the body. As soon as they encounter oxygen, they die. This is the main reason why the anaerobic bacteria need prebiotics as “food”. Once a perfect surrounding has been created, the commensal intestinal bacteria can multiply and perform in the best way possible.
Recommended use
3 times daily, stir 1 level measuring spoon of OMNi-LOGiC® PLUS (= 5 g) into a glass of water/juice, etc. (approx. 200mL), and drink at once (no activation time necessary).
The positive effect of glucomannan is achieved by taking 3 g daily in three 1 g servings with 1-2 glasses of water before meals.
Note: Take this product with plenty of fluids to ensure that it reaches the stomach; if users have difficulty swallowing or too little liquid is consumed, there is a risk of choking.
