More about the ingredients:

Prebiotics: A healthy gut starts with feeding it the right foods. What is the prebiotic vs probiotic difference? Well probiotics wouldn’t even be able to do their job without prebiotics. These little non-digestible fiber compounds are known as Oligosaccharides. They ferment in the body and results in a whole bunch of good-for-you effects including feeding the microbes, weight loss, improved immune system.

Reishi Mushroom can boost the immune system and alleviate stress and fatigue. Reishi mushrooms are adaptogens, plants that help the body combat stress. They may be an ally against cancer as beta glucan help shrink tumor size.  Reishi mushrooms could lower blood pressure and are good for the brain. They have allergy-fighting potential and may have antihistamine effects and can improve the body’s oxygen supply, which is key to those suffering from chronic and allergic asthma. Reishi mushrooms contain cholesterol-lowering compounds. Reishi mushrooms were found to decrease blood sugar in one small double-blind, placebo-controlled study—possibly by inhibiting an enzyme that produces glucose. Plus, after seeing noticeably reduced kidney stress and lower blood-sugar levels in test subjects, a different group of researchers concluded that Reishi mushrooms may prevent or halt kidney complications in type 2 diabetes patients.

Kefiran: The kefir grain or scoby has a varying and complex microbial composition that includes species of yeasts, lactic acid bacterial (LAB), acetic acid bacteria (AAB) and fungi. All these microorganisms may have a probiotic potential. Kefir is a beverage which is produced by the mixture of the diverse spectrum of microbial species. The largest portion present in water kefir are Lactobacilli, accounting for around 65 – 80% of the microbial population. The Lactococci and yeasts constitute the remaining portion of the microbes present in the kefir grain. Fresh kefir grains are carefully dehydrated to ensure the continued life of the probiotics.

L Glutamine is an amino acid which helps with gut health as it improves the mucus production which protects the lining and in which the gut bacteria live, and it boosts immune cell activity in the gut reducing inflammation and soothing intestinal tissue. It also improves digestion and brain health.

Zinc has been added for the building of the gut lining.
