Mother Nature’s 3.0 solution to a healthier gut – reintroduce clinically proven spore bacillus strains… you know that modern-day humans have lost about half the microbes that “should be” living in our guts.

One Way Microbial Loss Can Occur: Antibiotics
 

While a single dose of an antibiotic can kill 90% or more of your bacteria, luckily, there is NO currently prescribed, broad-spectrum medication that has been shown to completely eliminate all gut bacteria.

This is due to the mucosal “blanket” (also called the “intestinal tight junction barrier” or “epithelial lining”) that sits on top of our very fragile, single-celled gut wall.

When an antibiotic arrives in your gut, your bacteria try to escape its deadly effects by burying themselves in your mucosal “blanket.”

To some degree, some bacteria always survive (as will fungus like Candida auris which is never affected by antibiotics) and once you stop taking the antibacterial medication, those are the organisms that will dominantly repopulate your intestines.

The rebuilding of a healthy gut microbiome depends upon your beneficial bacteria being able to powerfully repopulate first, so they can crowd out harmful organisms, like Candida.

But what if the bacterial strains that re-emerge first post-antibiotic are NOT good for us, and in fact are the really “bad guys,” like drug-resistant superbugs?

According to the CDC: “People are 7 to 10 times more likely to get C. DIFF. while on antibiotics, and during the month after.”[1]
Mother Nature’s Perfect Solution: Gut-friendly Spore Bacillus Strains

These naturally protective spore-based microbes produce two kinds of compounds in the intestines.

• One byproduct is anti-bacterial and

• The other is a self-produced bacterial “fertilizer.”

The recommended daily dose of the spore-based Just Thrive Probiotic & Antioxidant enables these “super soldiers” to fill the entire length of your intestines with no break in protection.

 Traveling from the top of your intestines to the bottom over about three weeks before being excreted, these gut-friendly strains help to bring balance to your bacterial population by using their own byproducts to selectively either:

• Kill pathogens or

• Increase beneficial residents.

Gut pathogens typically produce LPS (lipopolysaccharide) as a byproduct and LPS absorbed into the bloodstream has now been linked to a huge array of autoimmune and metabolic conditions that can affect our:

• Immune system,

• Digestion, and

• Brain and mood.

Very importantly, post-antibiotic, Just Thrive recommends you double or triple your dose of the spore-based Probiotic & Antioxidant to support the correct rebuilding of your gut population.

The goal is to have plentiful Just Thrive “super soldiers” standing guard.

These protective strains monitor organisms re-emerging from your gut lining and take aim at the harmful ones (Bam…dead!), while simultaneously feeding “superfood” to your beneficials, like a gardener lovingly giving fertilizer to needy plants.

One capsule daily of Just Thrive Health Probiotic & Antioxidant in just 3 weeks was shown to dramatically improve the health of gut bacteria with a:

• 10-100-fold increase [2] of the beneficial population overall,

• 35% increase in diversity [2], including the critically important keystone species/strains.

A second study, called our “Leaky Gut Study,” was conducted on 80+ participants and did exactly what the Netherlands Study did; pathogenically produced LPS was measured in the test participants’ blood samples.

The Netherlands Study found that LPS escaping through a leaky gut wall is the biggest driver of anxiety and depression.

However, there was one significant change in the way the Leaky Gut Study was conducted… Those researchers also gave the Just Thrive Health four-strain proprietary probiotic formula to the participants to see if that affected their LPS levels.

One capsule daily of the Just Thrive Health “Probiotic & Antioxidant” was shown, in just 4 weeks, to produce a 42% lowering of LPS. [3]

There were other changes as well:

• 24% decrease in triglycerides (linked to heart health)

• “Significant” reductions in:

  • Ghrelin (also called “the hunger hormone”)

  • 5 inflammatory markers, associated with-

    • Poor sugar response,

    • Slower recovery processes

    • High bodily inflammatory load.

One easy, affordable, and clinically evidence-based solution in adding Just Thrive Health “Probiotic & Antioxidant”.

Just Thrive Probiotic & Antioxidant has been shown to significantly:

1. Increase our total overall bacterial gut population by increasing beneficial strains and decreasing pathogens [2],

2. Increase the diversity of the kinds of bacteria living in our gut [2],

3. Reduce our LPS bodily load. [3]

Our children literally inherit their parents’ and caregivers’ gut bacteria through birth, touch, and breath. When we improve our bacterial health, it also benefits our children.

Furthermore, any benefit we directly bring to a little one’s microbiome, for example, by introducing gut-friendly spore bacillus probiotics and helpful dietary changes, especially during that critical first three years of life, will confer a subsequent LIFETIME of immune, psychological, and digestive health benefits for that person!

Start now. For you and the next generation.
