GI-BIOME 401

How the GI-Biome System™ works together in supporting optimal digestive and immune system health.*

In the first three courses of the Digestive Health Series, we first identified the obstacles in your life affecting your microbiome, such as stress, overindulging with food and loss of sleep. Next, we analyzed how these obstacles take a toll on your body. In the last course we shared some valuable tips on how to create sustainable, healthier habits to promote wellness.

In this, the final course—GI-BIOME 401—we will explore how each of the GI-Biome System™ products can help improve health and how the system works together in supporting optimal digestive and immune system health.*

Chapter 7: Your Health Depends on the Health of Your Microbiome

You’ve probably heard the phrase “you are what you eat” before, and this could not be any more accurate. Everything that we digest, or don’t digest, has an impact on both our mental and physical health, especially on the vast and complex network of more than 100 trillion microorganisms known as our microbiome that we introduced in previous courses.

Everyone’s microbiome is as unique as a fingerprint and is exposed to and altered by everything we encounter. The reality is challenges to our microbiome are everywhere, pesticides, antibiotics and antibacterial soaps, poor nutrition and stress, to name a few. The reality is your health depends on the health of your microbiome.

Chapter 8: The Answer to Gut Health? The GI-Biome System.

Understanding the negative compounding effect that daily life challenges and environmental factors have on the health of our microbiome, lead Mannatech to develop the GI-Biome System. This system contains three products: GI-Defense^®, GI-ProBalance^® and GI-Zyme^®.

These three products work together to help support a positive chain reaction effect on your gut health and ultimately your microbiome.* GI-Defense helps to strengthen the gut barrier, creating a more stable environment to support growth and resilience of the healthy bacteria found in GI-ProBalance and digestive enzymes found in GI-Zyme.*

 Step 1 – Strengthen Your Gut Barrier with GI-Defense*

GI-Defense is the first line of support for your microbiome.* It helps strengthen your gut barrier while supporting your body’s natural ability to replenish butyrate, a short chain fatty acid, which is crucial and helping to soothe nourish and strengthen the gut lining.*

Our GlycoBiome and Butyrate Support Blend found exclusively in GI-Defense contains natural yet scientifically studied ingredients that support your body’s natural ability to produce its own arsenal of beneficial butyrate to help maintain the gut lining and ultimately help support your microbiome.*

In fact, in a 12-week randomized parallel double-blind, placebo-controlled study, it was shown that the ingredients in GI-Defense can significantly increase the presence of short chain fatty acids, such as butyrate, by creating an ideal environment for the microbes in your body to flourish.*

GI-Defense capsules are formulated to:

• Help strengthen and support gut barrier function and integrity.*
• Support healthy functioning of the digestive and immune systems.*
• Support healthy intestinal permeability and environment.*
• Help purify the gut and balance beneficial bacteria.*
• Support short chain fatty acid (SCFA) production, especially butyrate production.*
• Help comfort feelings of gas and bloating.*

Step 2 – Build Balance for Your Gut Bacteria with GI-ProBalance^*

Bacteria helps protect the cells in your intestines from invading pathogens and also promotes repair of damaged tissue. Most importantly, by having good bacteria in your body, bad bacteria doesn’t get a chance to grow.

GI-ProBalance slimsticks are specially formulated with a blend of eight powerful strains of probiotics. These strains were specifically selected to survive all stages of digestion, as well as rich prebiotic fibers to support the natural balance of good bacteria for your microbiome.*

GI-ProBalance slimsticks are formulated to:

• Support a natural balance of good bacteria to maintain healthy digestion.*
• Help support the body against occasional intestinal disturbances and typical, occasional digestive upsets.*
• Promote natural immune function.*
• Supplement natural probiotic levels that might fluctuate due to normal aging, diet or other normal digestive issues.*
• Contain acid-resistant probiotic strains.

 Step 3 – Optimize Support for Digestion with GI-Zyme^*

Digestive enzymes, which are produced naturally through the digestive tract, play a key role in nutrition absorption. While we may not give them any thought, these tiny molecules facilitate the breaking down and absorption of food. This enables us to gain nutrients from foods that may otherwise be difficult to digest.

Unlike most enzyme supplements, GI-Zyme capsules offer a blend of natural botanical ingredients and eight broad spectrum digestive enzymes at a wide range of pH levels, designed to break down many types of food throughout the different stages of digestion.*

GI-Zyme capsules are formulated to:

• Formulated to help improve digestion.*
• May help ensure that the maximum level of nutrient absorption is attained.*
• Formulated to support digestive absorption.*
• Formulated to assist in breaking down proteins, fats and carbohydrates.*
• Supports a healthy microbiome.*
