The Cycle:

 

Environmental Factors, Reoccurring Disruption.

 

Microbiome health as a foundation: We hope we have assisted your understanding that your microbiome is critical to your overall health, influencing digestion, immune function, mental health, and so much more. Our modern lifestyle often disrupts its balance, leading to a huge range of chronic or devastating health issues.

 

Some level of reoccurrence is unavoidable: It is inevitable, even to the most careful individual, that modern day influences will determine that some level of microbiome disruption will reoccur.

 

Common causes of disruption: Reoccurrences in microbiome disruption and health issues often stem from a combination of medical treatments, environmental exposures and dietary habits. We have already looked at how antibiotics, pesticides, emulsifiers, chlorinated water, acid-blocking medications and many more factors, all disrupt the microbiome, allowing harmful bacteria to thrive. This forms a downward spiralling cycle of harm.

 

PREVENT THE CYCLE: STAR or REBUILD

 

• Our probiotics drinks naturally prevent reoccurrence of microbiome disruption, imbalances and issues.

• Regular intake of SuperPow supports microbiome composition, improves microbiome resilience, prevents dysbiosis and prevents relapse in microbiome-related disorders.

• SUPERPOW PREVENTS THE CYCLE.

• We recommend STAR as our star drink that provides the greatest number of cross-supporting species, and the widest ranging benefits.

• If you know you are prone to reoccurrences of SIBO, then we recommend REBUILD as our super strength bacteriocin producing natural antibiotic powerhouse to keep SIBO at bay.

• We recommend a minimum four-week membership subscription at least every six months.

• We always recommend an initial twelve-week membership programme, which ensures optimal microbiome condition.

• The follow up four-week boosters of either STAR or REBUILD every six months will maintain optimal microbiome health.

• Our ground-breaking products are the solution to replacing and maintaining lost microbes and protecting you from reoccurrence in the future.

• SuperPow is the only COMPLETE SOLUTION currently available anywhere in the world.

 

Additional Preventive Approaches

 

Avoid Microbiome Disruptors: To prevent harmful reoccurrences, it is helpful to minimize intake of substances that damage the microbiome whenever possible.

 

Minimize Antibiotic Use: While antibiotics are sometimes necessary, they can also wipe out beneficial bacteria, making the microbiome more susceptible to imbalance and the downward cycle. After antibiotic use it is essential to follow up with SuperPow microbiotic treatment. Reintroducing prebiotics and fermented foods will help maintain and further restore beneficial bacteria.

 

Avoid Emulsifiers and Processed Foods: Emulsifiers in processed foods can disturb beneficial microbiome bacteria and sugars may fuel harmful microbes.

​

Limit Exposure to Pesticides and Herbicides: If it is possible, choose organic foods to reduce ingestion of chemicals, like glyphosate, which is known to disrupt the microbiome. Widespread use of pesticides, herbicides, and genetic modifications in crops have introduced compounds harmful to the human microbiome. These have been detected in human tissues and are linked to microbiome disruptions.

​

Avoid Chlorinated Water: If possible, filter your water to remove the chlorine chemical, linked to microbiome disruption.

 

Regularly Consume Probiotic-Rich Drinks and Foods: SuperPow is the optimal way to ensure you receive the maximum possible CFU count of keystone, clinically proven, bacteria specie and strain. Including a variety of probiotic sources from fermented vegetables will also help maintain a balanced microbiome.

 

Incorporating a Variety of Prebiotic Fibres: A diversity of fibre sources, such as from vegetables, fruits and legumes provide nourishment for different types of beneficial bacteria, supporting a well-rounded microbiome.

 

Incorporate other beneficial fibres into your diet: Beneficial fibre sources including inulin, hyaluronic acid, and galacto-oligosaccharides nourish beneficial microbes and aid health.

​

Mindful Eating Habits: Modern diets high in refined sugars and processed foods often harm the microbiome, feeding harmful bacteria. Minimizing sugar and focusing on whole, nutrient-dense foods can help cultivate a more balanced microbiome.

 

Supportive Supplements: Magnesium, known to aid digestion and reduce constipation, vitamin D, essential for immune health, and omega-3 fatty acids for reducing inflammation and insulin resistance, are also linked to a well-functioning microbiome. Ensuring adequate intake of these nutrients may help maintain microbiome health.

 

Importance of Stomach Acid: Stomach acid plays an important role in protecting the microbiome from harmful microbes. Low stomach acid, whether from autoimmune conditions, acid-blocking medications, or aging, can compromise this natural defence, allowing bacteria to ascend into areas of the microbiome where they don’t belong.

​

Testing and Supporting Acid Levels: Testing for serum gastrin levels can indicate low stomach acid. In cases of deficiency, adding acidic supplements like betaine hydrochloride, vinegars, or even carbonated drinks can support digestion and create an environment less favourable to harmful bacteria.

 

Understanding Probiotic & Prebiotic

 

Probiotics and prebiotics are both related to microbiome health but serve different functions. Understanding their important functions will assist your efforts to maintain a healthy microbiome.

 

Probiotics:

​

Definition: Probiotics are live microorganisms, typically bacteria, that provide health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts.

Function: They directly add beneficial bacteria to the gut, improving or restoring the gut microbiome balance.

Example: Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium.

 

Prebiotics:

​

Definition: Prebiotics are types of non-digestible fibre compounds found in certain foods (e.g., bananas, onions, garlic) that stimulate the growth or activity of beneficial bacteria in the gut.

Function: They act as food for the good bacteria, helping them thrive and maintain a healthy gut environment.

Example: Inulin and fructooligosaccharide (FOS).

 

Key Differences:

​

Composition: Probiotics are live bacteria; Prebiotics are fibres.

Function: Probiotics should introduce new beneficial bacteria; Prebiotics nourish existing gut bacteria.

Source: Probiotics are in SuperPow and fermented foods; Prebiotics are in high-fibre foods.

 

Summary

 

To prevent reoccurring microbiome health issues, introduce a microbiome-friendly approach that includes SuperPow probiotics and a diverse diet of prebiotic fibres and fermented foods. Avoid microbiome disruptors whenever possible to protect your microbiome environment.
