Dietary supplement with valuable fiber for intestinal bacteria.
Our intestinal bacteria have numerous tasks, including the utilization of food. All of our intestinal bacteria have one thing in common: they can be divided into two large groups, the so-called Bacteroidetes and the Firmicutes. In a healthy intestinal flora, these two groups are present in an optimal ratio of 1:1, which means that there are roughly the same number of bacteria of both in the intestine.
However, in overweight people, the intestinal flora is often out of balance and the Firmicutes group of bacteria predominates. The ratio can be shifted by up to 2,000:1. The intestine then contains 2,000 times more Firmicutes than Bacteroidetes!
Firmicutes have the special property of being able to break down food components that are actually indigestible for humans (namely the so-called fiber and complex carbohydrates). This creates a lot of easily digestible carbohydrates in the intestine - much more than in an intestine with an optimal bacteria ratio - which are absorbed in addition to the calories eaten. This "hidden" intake can easily amount to 200 calories more - every day!
In addition, the shift in the bacterial ratio - towards the Firmicutes - can take on a life of its own: the more carbohydrates (e.g. sugar, pasta, etc.) are eaten, the better the Firmicutes feel and the better they can multiply in the intestine - a vicious circle has begun!
How does OMNi-LOGiC APPLE PECTIN work?
Apple pectin is the optimal food source for Bacteroidetes - the bacteria that support the excretion of sugar from the body. If the Bacteroidetes bacteria have enough apple pectin available, they multiply and settle permanently in our body.
How is OMNi-LOGiC APPLE PECTIN used?
Take 3 capsules twice a day before meals with plenty of liquid.
