Upgrade Spotlight: Probiotics to Power the Gut-Brain Axis

The gut-brain access goes two ways, Keri explains. “Your brain is affecting your gut. Your gut is affecting your brain—and from everything. That’s why it’s so incredibly important to maintain that healthy microbiome and to have a healthy balance of good [bacteria].”

 To target the gut-brain axis, Omni-Biotic developed special formulations called psychobiotics: one for detox, the other for stress. Then they put them to the test in clinical studies.

• Hetox contains eight beneficial bacterial strains. Clinical studies show improvements in liver function, cardiometabolic markers and inflammation markers related to liver health.
• Clinical studies show that Stress Release supports digestion and the gut flora during times of stress, reduces intestinal inflammation, increases emotional balance, cognition, and mood.

“There’s always going to be a balance of good and bad bacteria, but we need a certain amount of good bacteria to be healthy,” Keri says. “When we’re stressed, a lot of that good bacteria dies. When that happens, we have inflammation in our gut and that constant inflammation can lead to leaky gut [and other gut dysfunction].”

Omni-Biotic also tests its probiotics in an artificial GI simulator against other top probiotic brands in the U.S. market. It ensures that 83% of its probiotics arrive alive and active in the intestines. In comparison, the probiotic survival rate of other brands averages 7%.

The bacterial strains in Omni-Biotic are freeze-dried to make them more shelf-stable and the powder contains specific prebiotic nutrients. These prebiotic nutrients serve as the food source for the probiotic bacteria.
