Description

  • Targeted probiotic strains improve endurance, strength, recovery, and mental resilience by supporting gut integrity, reducing inflammation, and enhancing nutrient absorption
  • Intense training damages your gut lining and weakens immunity, but probiotics help maintain barrier function and prevent bacterial toxins from triggering systemic inflammation
  • Specific strains deliver specific benefits, such as Lactobacillus plantarum for endurance, Bacillus coagulans for muscle recovery, and Lactobacillus casei for stress reduction
  • Supporting butyrate-producing bacteria fuels intestinal cells, improves lipid metabolism, and enhances oxidative muscle fibers for sustained aerobic performance
  • Probiotics are most effective when introduced after gut healing, paired with a diet free from linoleic acid–rich vegetable oils and supported by prebiotic foods to maintain microbial balance
