Glutamine or L-glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the blood and in the muscles. It plays a role in protein synthesis, immune protection, maintaining the integrity of the intestinal wall and the acid-base balance of the body.
From chicory root,inulin is also extracted, a carbohydrate widely used as a texturising agent and as a fat or sugar substitute in prepared foods.
Inulin promotes :
- Reduction of blood lipid levels.
- Increased mineral absorption.
- Helps to lower blood sugar levels.
- The growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria (prebiotic effect)
Magnesium is an essential mineral for the proper functioning of the human body. It is involved in over 300 metabolic reactions in the body.
Since time immemorial, humans have used liquorice both as a food and as a medicine.
Licorice root promotes :
- Digestive disorders (dyspepsia).
- Ulcers of the stomach and duodenum.
- Immune stimulation (viral infections).
- Relieves inflammation of the respiratory system.
- Prevent and treat stomach and duodenal ulcers.
Berberine is an alkaloid: it is a complex plant compound with at least one nitrogen atom. It has long been used in various traditional Asian pharmacopoeias, notably Chinese medicine and Ayurveda.
It acts on ampK, or adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase. This enzyme plays a key role in many metabolic processes. In particular, it coordinates cellular energy processes, regulates dietary energy intake, etc.
In concrete terms, ampK modulates the production, storage and elimination of lipids and carbohydrates. Regulation of ampK activation is therefore a major target for treatments related to metabolic disorders or diseases, such as hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, obesity, etc.
Zinc is beneficial for the skin, nails and hair, but it also has benefits for the proper functioning of the immune system.
Zinc Citrate gives a healthy glow to the skin, reduces hair loss, strengthens the natural defences, and helps the disappearance of redness and skin problems.
It facilitates transit and prevents colic, constipation, gas and diarrhoea.
The piperine in pepper stimulates the production of serotonin, the hormone that relaxes us and makes us feel happy
Lactobacillus rhamnosus is a microbiotic strain that contributes to the efficiency of the intestinal flora, thus contributing to digestive comfort and strengthening the immune system.
Lactobacillus acidophilus is probably the best known strain in the world. This beneficial bacterium is naturally present in your digestive system.
Unlike some pathogenic bacteria that can cause disease, lactobacillus acidophilus is beneficial to your health.
It is frequently consumed to improve intestinal health, stimulate natural defences or reduce cholesterol.
Very prolific in the gut, it is able to compete with many pathogenic bacteria, including lactobacilli.
One of the main characteristics of this bacterium is the production of lactase. Consumption of this microbe relieves the symptoms of lactose intolerance and other gastrointestinal problems.
Bifidobacteria are healthy bacteria that have many benefits. Research shows that they strengthen your immune system, reduce intestinal infections and improve digestion.
Low levels of bifidobacterium in your body are linked to several diseases.
