Harmony of the Gods - Probiotic

Probiotics are essential for maintaining a healthy balance of gut bacteria, supporting digestion, immune function, and overall well-being. They replenish beneficial bacteria, strengthen the gut barrier, and alleviate digestive discomforts like bloating and diarrhoea. Additionally, probiotics enhance nutrient absorption and may support mood regulation due to the gut-brain connection.

What is CFU?

CFU (Colony Forming Units) measures the number of viable probiotic microorganisms in a product. It indicates how many active bacteria can form colonies in the gut and deliver health benefits. Each sachet of Harmony of the Gods Probiotic features an impressive 50 billion CFU count, ensuring high potency and
effectiveness.

Understanding the difference between probiotics and prebiotics is essential to achieving optimal gut health, as they serve complementary but distinct roles in your digestive system.

Prebiotics: Fuel for Beneficial Bacteria

Prebiotics are non-digestible fibres and compounds that act as food for the beneficial bacteria in your gut. By nourishing these bacteria, prebiotics help them thrive, multiply, and maintain a healthy, balanced gut microbiome.

• What They Do: Prebiotics create the ideal environment for gut bacteria to flourish by feeding them and promoting their growth.
• Sources of Prebiotics: Ingredients like inulin, fructooligosaccharides (FOS), and Fibregum are examples of powerful prebiotics that support a thriving gut ecosystem.
• Benefits: Improved digestion, enhanced nutrient absorption, reduced bloating, and long-term microbiome health.

Probiotics: Live Beneficial Bacteria

Probiotics are live microorganisms, often referred to as “good bacteria,” that directly replenish the gut microbiome. They support digestion, immunity, and overall well-being by restoring balance to the gut, especially when it has been disrupted by factors like stress, poor diet, or antibiotic use.

• What They Do: Probiotics restore and maintain a healthy gut microbiome by introducing new strains of beneficial bacteria.
• Sources of Probiotics: Probiotic supplements and fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and kimchi.
• Benefits: Reduced digestive discomfort, improved bowel regularity, stronger immunity, and better nutrient absorption.

Why Use Both Together?

While probiotics introduce beneficial bacteria to the gut, prebiotics ensure those bacteria have the nutrients they need to thrive. Together, they create a synergistic relationship that enhances overall gut health.

• Prebiotics Enhance Probiotics: By providing a nourishing environment, prebiotics improve the effectiveness and longevity of probiotics in the gut.
• Comprehensive Gut Support: Combining prebiotics and probiotics promotes digestion, balances gut bacteria, supports the gut lining, and strengthens the immune system.
• The Ultimate Gut Health Solution: Prebiotics fuel the probiotics, allowing them to multiply and work more effectively, creating a resilient and balanced microbiome for long-term health and wellness.

Harmony of the Gods - Probiotic can play a supportive role in weight management by balancing the gut microbiome and influencing key metabolic and appetite regulating processes.

How Probiotics Aid Weight Management:

• Metabolism Boost: Strains like Lactobacillus gasseri and Bifidobacterium breve have been shown to support fat metabolism by reducing fat absorption and encouraging the breakdown of lipids.
• Reduced Fat Storage: Probiotics regulate hormones such as insulin and leptin, which influence how the body stores or burns fat.
• Appetite Regulation: Probiotics help regulate hunger hormones like ghrelin (hunger hormone) and peptide YY (fullness hormone), reducing cravings and overeating.
• Improved Digestion: A healthy microbiome ensures better nutrient absorption and digestion, preventing bloating and water retention, which can make you feel heavier.
• Inflammation Reduction: Chronic inflammation is linked to weight gain and metabolic dysfunction. Probiotics help lower inflammation, supporting a healthier metabolism.

Key Benefits:

• Helps regulate appetite and cravings.
• Reduces bloating and water retention for a leaner appearance.
• Enhances metabolism and fat utilisation.
• Improves energy levels through better digestion and nutrient absorption.

Harmony of the Gods Probiotic provides holistic benefits for the gut, heart, and immune system:

GI Function:

• Lactobacillus Acidophilus and Lactobacillus Plantarum improve digestion and nutrient breakdown, reducing bloating and supporting healthy nutrient absorption.
• Bifidobacterium Longum protects the gut lining and reduces inflammation for optimal gut health.

Heart Health:

• Lactobacillus Fermentum and Lactobacillus Rhamnosus help lower LDL cholesterol by breaking down bile salts.
• Bacillus animalis reduces inflammation, lowering cardiovascular risk factors.

Gut Immune Function:

• Lactobacillus Helveticus regulates inflammation and supports antibody production for enhanced immune function.
• Lactobacillus Reuteri strengthens the gut barrier, helping prevent harmful pathogens while boosting immune resilience.

Strains such as Lactobacillus plantarum and Bifidobacterium longum enhance the synthesis of vitamins like B12, folate, and vitamin K. These probiotics also help improve the bioavailability of key minerals like magnesium and calcium by breaking down complex food molecules. This ensures better nutrient absorption, supporting energy levels, immune function, and bone health.

For skin health, Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus plantarum help reduce systemic inflammation by balancing the gut microbiome, which is directly linked to the gut-skin axis. By strengthening the gut barrier and preventing the leakage of toxins into the bloodstream, they minimise skin irritation and inflammation associated with conditions like acne, eczema, and rosacea.

In terms of mood support, Lactobacillus helveticus and Bifidobacterium breve are key players. These strains influence the gut-brain axis by promoting the production of mood-regulating neurotransmitters like serotonin and GABA. Additionally they
reduce gut inflammation, which is often linked to stress and anxiety, promoting a more balanced emotional state.
