The microbe support for every moment…

As we often hear about gut health and the impact it has on our bodies, we thought we would simplify it for you in order to make it easier for you to understand. As well as, of course, providing some suggestions that may help you along the way.

The Role of the Gut

Your gut is responsible for breaking down the foods you eat and absorbing nutrients that support the functions of your body. There is an increasing amount of research that is being conducted in the medical community on the importance of the gut to our overall health. As a result of research, we have learned that our gut microbiome can have a profound impact on every organ in our body.

In addition to the liver and gallbladder, the gut is the most important organ that relies on nutrition to support life. It is for this reason that your gut health is so important. A gastro-intestinal tract consists of three parts: the part that digests food, the part that absorbs nutrients, and the part that eliminates waste - all of which feed into our The gut is also a major part of our immune system, as it is home to a lot of bacteria that helps fight off infections. Taking care of your gut health is essential for maintaining overall health.

The Gut-Brain Connection 

When you were a child, did you ever have what some people call a 'gut-wrenching feeling' or 'butterflies in your stomach'? Our use of these expressions has a reason behind it. There is a lot of sensitivity associated with the gastrointestinal tract when it comes to emotions.

It is said that your gut is your "second brain". Almost all serotonin receptors (the happiness hormone) are found in the gut, not in the brain. It is for this reason that gut disorders are linked to anxiety and depression today.

In addition to connecting the brain and gut, the vagus nerve also plays a key role in activating the nervous system within the body. It is estimated that the majority of the signals that pass along the vagus nerve come from the enteric nervous system, a huge network of neurons that live in the gut and control the entire system. Activating the vagus nerve is an essential part of nourishing the gut-brain connection and can easily be done through activity such as singing and humming. We can also look to devices such as Sensate for support here too.

There is no doubt that your enteric nervous system plays a big role in taking care of your nutrition, which is an enormous job in anyone's book. Your gut is one of the most important organs of your body that provides most of the information to your brain about its state, thus having an impact on your physical and mental feeling of wellbeing.

The Female Reproductive Cycle

It is becoming more and more apparent that there is an important connection between the gut and hormones as time goes on. It is important to note that the imbalance in gut bacteria and nutrient deficiencies, among many other factors, can all contribute to hormone imbalances and negatively affect overall health in the long run. During times of menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause, women are more likely to experience digestive problems due to hormonal changes.

A strong correlation has been found between the gut microbiome and reproductive health in recent scientific studies. In both humans and animals, disruptions in the gut microbiota have been linked to fertility problems.

There are a variety of beneficial microbes in our gut that are essential for digestion, for breaking down toxins, for producing vitamins, and for supporting our immune system. A great benefit of Microbz Women is that it can support the health of the vaginal microbiome, assist with PMS and menopause symptoms, and assist pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers with the changing of the microbiome.

Athletic Performance and Recovery 

Sports performance and resilience are affected by gut microbiota after physical exercise. As well as improving physical and mental health, moderate exercise enhances bacterial composition, which complements and elevates one another.

Based on the results of a review of studies published in the year 2020, it is suggested that the gut microbiota may have an impact on performance and that having a diverse microbiota may be more beneficial. As far as the exact mechanism of the performance-enhancing effect goes, it is not fully understood, but it is likely that there are several indirect effects that result in an increase in performance.

During endurance exercise, the gut microbiota is key to controlling oxidative stress and inflammatory responses as well as improving metabolism and energy expenditure. You're less likely to suffer illnesses and digestive problems that can disrupt your training when you have a better immune system.

Collagen is the body's most abundant protein. It is the major component of connective tissues that make up several body parts including tendons, ligaments, skin and muscles which is why the addition to the Fitness microbz blend makes this so unique and therapeutically beneficial.

The types of bacteria in our gut and our sleep habits were investigated by researchers at Shandong University. Through access to biomedical and genomic information, the National Center for Biotechnology Information advances science and health. View Source Researchers have discovered that gut bacteria influence how long we sleep, our chronotype, and whether or not we experience sleep problems directly by analysing large databases of health information from around the world.

Recovering, renewing, and rebalancing are all dependent on sleep. The multi-strain probiotic of this product contains billions of living microbes plus oat straw and valerian that have been proven to help you get a good night's sleep.
