An imbalance in gut flora can manifest not only as bloating, constipation, or diarrhea, but also as fatigue. In our category, you’ll find specific bacterial cultures, plant-based enzymes, high-purity lactoferrin, and functional dietary fiber, all of certified quality. Combined with the 30-day gut health program, this creates a structured approach to your gut health, featuring expert guidance and in-depth background knowledge.
The gut is one of the most complex organ systems in the human body. With a surface area of several hundred square metres, it not only forms the interface between the outside world and the body, but also plays a central role in digestion, nutrient absorption, immune regulation and metabolic control. Good gut health is therefore essential for overall well-being.
The gut is home to trillions of microorganisms – bacteria, viruses and fungi – which are collectively referred to as the microbiome. This microbial ecosystem is unique to each individual and influences numerous processes:
A balanced microbiome supports the intestinal barrier and helps to regulate inflammatory processes. If this balance is disrupted – for example, by stress, antibiotics or a highly processed diet – this can lead to digestive problems, increased susceptibility to infection or metabolic imbalances.
The intestinal mucosa forms a highly sensitive barrier. It determines which substances enter the bloodstream and which are blocked. An intact epithelial barrier prevents the entry of unwanted substances and microorganisms.
If this protective function is impaired, it can promote inflammatory processes. The stability of the mucous membrane therefore plays a crucial role in maintaining long-term intestinal and immune balance.
Around 70% of immune cells are found in the gut. The gut is therefore a key immunological organ. The microbiome is in constant communication with the immune system and trains it to distinguish between harmless and potentially harmful stimuli.
A healthy gut microbiota helps to prevent excessive immune responses whilst maintaining an effective immune defence.
Several factors influence gut health:
A holistic lifestyle is therefore crucial for maintaining a healthy gut balance.
Biomfiber PHGG (partially hydrolysed guar gum) is a well-tolerated, soluble dietary fibre with prebiotic properties. It serves as a nutrient source for beneficial gut bacteria and is fermented in the large intestine. This process produces short-chain fatty acids such as butyrate, which provide energy to the intestinal mucosa. PHGG is particularly suitable for the gentle, long-term stabilisation of the microbiome.
Protect focuses more on the intestinal barrier. The emphasis is on supporting the mucous membrane and its protective function – particularly during sensitive or stressful periods. In short: PHGG nourishes the microbiome, whilst Protect strengthens the barrier. Both approaches complement each other within the gut health concept.
Biotic combines 17 selected bacterial strains with the complementary yeast culture Sacch. boul. It contains various representatives of the genera Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Streptococcus. In total, the formulation provides 47 billion colony-forming units (CFU) per daily serving.
The individual microorganisms differ, among other things, in terms of their strain characteristics, cultivation, and processing. For this reason, Biotic deliberately focuses on a diverse combination of different cultures.
The formulation is supplemented by Bio-Support™ technology, which is used to stabilize the microorganisms during manufacturing and storage. In this way, Biotic combines a high number of selected cultures with a formulation designed for diversity, quality, and stability.
The gut is not only responsible for digestion, but also influences the immune system, metabolism, hormonal balance, and even mental well-being. A stable microbiome and an intact mucosal barrier are crucial for nutrient absorption, inflammation regulation, and long-term well-being.
An enzyme complex can be helpful when digestion is strained—for example, in cases of bloating, gas, or meals that are difficult to digest. Enzymes aid in the breakdown of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, thereby relieving the strain on the gut.
PHGG (partially hydrolyzed guar gum) is a soluble dietary fiber that is highly tolerable. It ferments slowly and can contribute to the formation of short-chain fatty acids, which provide energy to the intestinal mucosa. PHGG is particularly well-suited for gentle, long-term support of the microbiome.
Protect is primarily aimed at stabilizing the intestinal barrier. While prebiotic fiber nourishes the microbiome, Protect primarily supports the protective function of the mucosa—especially during sensitive phases.
The microbiome reacts dynamically to diet and supplementation. Initial changes can occur after just a few weeks, but sustainable stabilization usually requires a consistent, long-term strategy.
No. A gut health regimen or supplementation can provide support, but it does not replace a fiber-rich, varied diet, sufficient exercise, and stress management. Stable gut health is always the result of multiple factors.
No. A gut health regimen or supplementation can be helpful, but it is no substitute for a high-fibre, varied diet, sufficient exercise and stress management. Good gut health is always the result of a combination of factors.
