Optimizing Gut Health and Microbiome Diversity with NAO Supplements
What is the Gut Microbiome?
The gut microbiome comprises all microscopic flora naturally inhabiting the digestive tract. Predominant species include Firmicutes, Bacteroidotes, Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria performing essential roles metabolizing nutrients, defending against pathogens and communicating with the central nervous system via the gut-brain axis.
This "second brain" of enteric nervous system neurons profoundly impacts our physiology and psychology. When populations remain balanced, these activities facilitate normal healthy homeostasis. However, certain lifestyle and environmental factors can disrupt delicate equilibrium.
Causes of Microbiome Imbalance
A biodiverse microbiome features characteristic species profiles within balanced proportions key for symbiotic functioning. But influences like:
- Antibiotic overuse
- High sugar/low fiber diets
- Chronic stress
- Environmental toxins
- Lack of plant diversity in diet
Can all contribute to diminished diversity and proliferation of unfavorable bacteria and yeasts producing inflammation or impaired gut barrier integrity manifesting systemically as:
- Food sensitivities
- Nutrient malabsorption
- Skin conditions like eczema
- Asthma and seasonal allergies
- Weight gain and obesity Anxiety, depression and brain fog
- Autoimmune conditions
Restoring balance prevents negative downstream issues.
NAO Proprietary Blend Regulates Flora
Powerful compounds naturally found in botanicals exhibit antimicrobial activities against undesirable gut organisms without residue or resistance risks of synthetic antibiotics which often further disrupt delicate ecosystems.
Bioactive compounds strategically break down biofilms clinging to mucosa lining that allow pathogens to evade immune detection. Targeted antimicrobials create space for reseeding diverse communities without over-eradicating.
Peppermint, marshmallow and slippery elm bark soothe angry digestion upsets aggravated by infection and dysbiosis. Masterfully metered ratios foster gradual population migration toward equilibrium as inflammation subsides.
Lifestyle Contributions Matter Too
Eating fermented foods like yogurt, sauerkraut and kimchi frequently while limiting sugar intake provides symbiotic enzymes and substrates favoring growth of beneficial species like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria groups. This supports lasting diversity fortifying the gut terrain.
NAO SuperGreens Nourish Microbiome
Beyond corrective solutions, prebiotic nourishment facilitates flourishing long-term balance. NAO’s SuperGreens formula supplies chicory root, oat bran and baobab fruit fiber that selectively feed beneficial species specializing in strengthening mucosal integrity and calming intestinal inflammation naturally.
Their fermentation supports satiety signaling and vital short chain fatty acid production that suppress pathogenic colonization while improving mineral absorption. Targeted probiotic strains amplify synthesis of mood-elevating neurotransmitters producing psychobiological harmony.
Nutrient-dense botanicals provide bioavailable polyphenols enhancing commensal vigor and metabolic output benefiting the host. Their vibrant pigments signify dense antioxidant capacity protecting delicate intestinal tissues from oxidative damage associated with leaky gut dysfunction.
Holistic nourishing support allows lasting diversity with minimal repetition of antimicrobial corrections.
