BIA GutBuilder Prebiotic Supplement

The intestines and skin are connected by the gut-skin axis, which plays an important role in overall health. The balance of the gut microbiota can affect not only digestion but also the condition of the skin.

While probiotics are beneficial bacteria naturally found in fermented foods and dietary supplements, prebiotics are certain types of fibre that serve as their food source. They contribute to the natural diversity of the intestinal microflora, which can affect the overall well-being and healthy appearance of the skin.

Composition:

Main active ingredients for gut health and microbiome diversity:
Resistant potato starch (Irish medicine): a prebiotic that increases the amount of beneficial gut bacteria (Bifidobacterium and Akkermansia).
Chicory root (Irish medicine): oligosaccharides that promote beneficial gut bacteria and reduce the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio.
Psyllium root (Irish medicine): soluble fibre and antioxidant that directly coats and protects the intestinal mucosa and promotes intestinal microflora.
Aronia (berries): soluble and insoluble fibre that increases the genetic diversity of the gut microbiome, especially butyrate-producing bacteria.
L-glutamine: an amino acid that strengthens tight junction proteins for gut barrier integrity.
Key superfoods for intestinal inflammation and bowel motility:
Artichoke: promotes bile flow, which helps people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a condition associated with atopic dermatitis.
Pomegranate: antioxidant polyphenols and anthocyanins, including ellagic acid, which intestinal bacteria use to synthesise the anti-inflammatory urolithin A for mitochondrial function of intestinal cells.
Ginger: helps protect gastric function, e.g. gastric emptying, and may increase levels of protective prostaglandins in the intestinal wall.
Other antioxidants: quercetin, acai, acerola, camu camu, mangosteen, asparagus, okra and coffeeberry.
