- WellBiome® Composition
Prebiotics: Functional prebiotic fibers (fructooligosaccharides), are the favorite nutrient source for the billions of health positive probiotic bacteria (bifidobacteria and lactobacilli) living in the human gut. Prebiotics increase the diversity of the gut microbiome, a sign of good gut health, while enhancing the production of health promoting bioactive molecules such as acetate, which helps them battle potentially harmful bacteria.
Functional Fibers: Functional dietary fibers (Glucomannan) enhance the activity of bacterial groups (Bacteroides, Christensenella) that produce bioactive molecules such as propionate and butyrate. These molecules play an essential role in gut health immunomodulation. They work together with acetate to regulate appetite, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism.
Trace Mineral: Chromium, a trace mineral essential for human health. It supports enzymes that are key in carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism. It also regulates insulin action and this way it can influence the breakdown of carbohydrates and fats and has the ability to amplify the action of insulin, improve insulin resistance and maintain blood glucose levels.

-
- Optimised for Health & Wellbeing
Using OptiBiotix’s unique microbiome modulation science developed by leading UK Universities specializing in metabolism and nutrition, WellBiome® supports digestive, cardiovascular and metabolic health.
Supports Digestive Health: WellBiome® is high in soluble fiber, which helps maintain a healthy digestive system and supports regular bowel habit7. The functional fibers in WellBiome® are optimized to enhance the concentrations of health positive bacteria in the gut and the bioactive products of their metabolism.
Our studies have shown that WellBiome® maintains normal bowel habit, enhances gut microbiome diversity and significantly increases Bifidobacterium, Bacteroides and Christensenella, all essential bacteria for maintaining good digestive health.
Supports Heart Health: WellBiome® supports heart health by helping keep both cholesterol and blood pressure within normal levels, which significantly reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease10. High viscosity dietary fibers in WellBiome® reduce the re-absorption of bile acids in the liver resulting in consumption of cholesterol to replenish their levels. This leads to the reduction of serum cholesterol concentrations.
Our studies have also shown that WellBiome® significantly reduces systolic blood pressure.
Supports Metabolic Health: WellBiome® supports metabolic health by promoting a healthy gut microbiome, one of the most metabolically active organs in the human body4. It is also active in the stomach, where it increases the viscosity of gastric contents, slowing down the rate of emptying. This reduces the glycaemic response, which together with the insulin regulating activity in the liver helps maintain blood glucose at healthy levels.
Our studies have shown that WellBiome® can regulate glycaemic response.
