PreBio

Product Description

PhytoPre is a citrus-based prebiotic formula that provides flavonoid-rich polyphenols to promote a healthy gut microbiota composition while protecting the gut mucosal barrier and enhancing gut immunity. This non-fiber formula feeds beneficial gut bacteria which subsequently nurtures gut epithelial cells while producing little fermentation, making it an ideal option for individuals with small intestinal bacteria overgrowth (SIBO).

Key Benefits

• Promotes probiotic growth and diversity
• Provides antioxidant protection for improved gut barrier function
• Enhances immune function
• Strengthens mucosal barrier integrity
• Supports gastrointestinal comfort and function
• Offers a safe prebiotic option for those with SIBO
• Helps maintain normal inflammatory balance in the GI tract

Understanding SIBO and Prebiotic Solutions

SIBO is an increasingly common condition where there is a microbial imbalance in the small intestine typically characterized by a high concentration of bacteria in the small intestine. This could be due to an overgrowth of naturally occurring bacteria in the small bowel or translocation of bacteria from the large intestine.

Gas and bloating are common gastrointestinal symptoms for individuals with SIBO due to the imbalance and/or overabundance of bacteria in the small intestine, creating uncomfortable abdominal distress. Although providing essential fuel for the epithelial cells, traditional fiber-based prebiotics are not the ideal choice because of the gas they produce during the fermentation process, exacerbating the symptoms of individuals with SIBO.

As a solution, polyphenol-based, non-fiber prebiotics like PhytoPre can provide essential nutrients to the gut lining without producing bloating as a side effect, helping to reestablish a healthy mucosal barrier and to restore the gut terrain in individuals with SIBO.

Premium Ingredients Overview

PhytoPre combines scientifically-backed polyphenol-rich ingredients to create a comprehensive gut support formula:

• Pomegranate Fruit Extract: Contains the polyphenols ellagic acid and punicalagins A and B, which have antioxidant properties and help maintain normal inflammatory balance. Preclinical and clinical studies show these compounds promote the proliferation of beneficial gut microbes. These polyphenols are not absorbed intact in the small intestine and, consequently, the unabsorbed polyphenols can be metabolized by microbes to produce secondary metabolites such as urolithins, which provide additional health benefits.
• Citrus Fruit Extract (MicrobiomeX®): The gut microbiota interacts with food components like polyphenols in a bidirectional relationship—intestinal microbes metabolize polyphenols, and polyphenols also influence intestinal microbial composition. Clinical evidence shows that 500 mg of citrus fruit extract significantly increases butyrate and total short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) levels by promoting the growth of beneficial bacterial groups. A 12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study demonstrated that MicrobiomeX® leads to beneficial shifts in SCFA profiles and lowers calprotectin levels, suggesting it helps maintain normal inflammatory balance in the GI tract.
