Intestinal Balance for a Healthy Microbiome*
Ever hear of the saying “when Mama’s happy, everyone’s happy”? Think of your body’s microbiome as “Mama.” When your microbiome is in balance, your whole body is in balance.*
Balance is important to overall health, especially in your microbiome, where there are more than 500 strains of bacteria totaling 40 trillion cells! Many of those microbes are allies that help maintain your health. They support removal of toxins, digestion, immune function, and nutrient absorption.
But when life challenges your balance – due to certain lifestyle choices, dietary habits, daily stress, normal aging and genetics – those beneficial bacteria can be overcrowded by unwanted visitors (like candida). Since gut health is linked to immune health and so many other aspects of health, the microorganisms in your gut need all the help you can give them.
Enzymes are like little scissors that break down foods into nutrients or certain compounds into their building blocks. There’s also a pair of enzymes that are specialized for cleaning up yeast.
Cellulase is an enzyme that targets cellulose (or fiber). This allows it to break down the cell walls of yeast. Protease is an enzyme that can break down protein. This enzyme helps breaks down the interior proteins within yeast.* This combination provides a gentle, cleansing effect without harsh discomfort common to cleansing.*
Yeast cells are like squatters that want to take over your gut and body. They come inside (uninvited — rude!), make themselves at home and put a new lock on the door. Cellulase knows how to get inside, so protease can clean house. While other cleansing protocols take a harsher approach, this combination of enzymes is gentle yet effective. Think of it as the difference between kicking down the door or carefully picking the lock and tidying up.
Once the yeast has been sent on its merry way, your microflora can focus on balance again. This allows beneficial microbes to thrive, which in turn promotes gut and microbiome health (and overall well-being).*
