Biome Capsules

Description

Our understanding of the relationship between the microbiome (‘biome’ for short), mood, genetic triggers and general health is a rapidly evolving field. What is becoming clear, is that certain strains of beneficial bacteria are absent (or found in low quantities) in the elderly and people with various health conditions.

Supporting a diverse and beneficial biome is a key component of health & wellness.

Matakana Health’s Biome is a proprietary formulation which includes the patented, spore-forming probiotic Bacillus subtilis DE111. Unlike many other probiotic strains, DE111 can withstand digestion, heat and acid in the stomach.

Health Benefits:

• Bacillus subtilis DE111 supports healthy LDL & total cholesterol while also supporting the re-establishment of a healthy and diverse intestinal flora.
• Bacillus subtills DE111 supports the production of a range of beneficial metabolites such as:
  • Short-chain fatty acids including propionate, butyrate, and acetate which are especially important in lower gut health, where they support the proliferation of beneficial bacteria and healthy inflammatory effects.
  • Digestive enzymes (notably proteases), that help support the bioavailability of amino acids from both plant and animal-based sources. Other enzymes include cellulase, lipase, and amylase.
  • Bacteriocins and anti-fungal compounds that help support the suppression of potential pathogens such as Candida albicans, E. coli, Salmonella enteritidis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
  • Exopolysaccharides (EPS) that may help support the intestinal mucosal barrier.
