A second chance

Do you believe in second chances?  I sure do and that's why I took a second look at Plexus.  My daughter has been having many positive changes in her health since she started using Plexus about 4 months ago.

Cora had a meeting at her house last week which I attended.  That was when I learned what probably caused the extreme nausea when I tried Plexus a couple of years ago.  Further, I learned how to prevent a backlash detox if I were to ever try it again.

 I'm thankful to have learned about this product which is a mild probiotic which older folks may need as they adjust to a healthier life.  At any rate, I thought I'd share with you that I'm going to give Plexus a second chance.  With the proper information about how to ease into the products, I'm hoping to have a great Summer this year!!!

Here's to second chances!

PS  Plexus makes a pain cream called EASE which has done a lot to relieve the pain in my legs.  Now I'm going to add in the EASE capsules too.  Perhaps I'll ease on to my bicycle seat this Summer!  WOULD THAT EVER BE AWESOME!

The Ultimate Guide to Plexus® VitalBiome

Gastrointestinal problems always seem to happen at the worst possible moments. When you’re on a date, visiting with friends, attending church, or in the middle of an important business meeting, the last thing you want to think about is your digestion.

Thankfully, VitalBiome™ is here to help keep things balanced! Let’s break down all the surprising ways this incredible product can help you stay healthy—and happy!*

WHAT IS VITALBIOME?

Plexus VitalBiome is a revolutionary probiotic containing eight powerful strains of friendly microbes, clinically demonstrated to help keep your gut microbiome in balance.*

Your gut microbiome is made up by the trillions of microscopic organisms that live in your intestines. Some of these microbes are beneficial to your health, while others are harmful and can create problems.¹

That’s where probiotics come in. During the past few decades, taking probiotics has become an incredibly popular health trend. Still, you have to be careful. Some manufacturers don’t get it right. They use probiotic strains that aren’t active or don’t work.

VitalBiome’s probiotic strains were handpicked for their clinically demonstrated ability to benefit your microbiome. Our formula includes beneficial strains that can survive the journey through your GI tract and adhere to the gut wall.

WHY USE VITALBIOME?

There’s a really good reason probiotics have skyrocketed in popularity. The human gut microbiome has been one of the hottest areas of scientific research, and what we’re learning about our little microbial community is pretty amazing!

Study after study suggests the gut microbiome plays a critical role in your overall health. A healthy microbiome helps to keep your GI tract in balance, and helps improve your mood, promote relaxation, stabilize stress hormones, and even boost your immune system.* ^3 4 5 6

This is because 70 percent of immune cells live in your gut and 90 percent of your body’s serotonin (a mood-boosting neurotransmitter) is produced in your gut. Microbes in your gut also secrete neurotransmitters like GABA and dopamine, and help support the production of essential nutrients like Vitamin B12, Vitamin K, and Folate. Who knew the microbiome did so much?

Healthy gut tip: You’ll be amazed by how many ways the gut microbiome benefits your overall health. See how the microbiome has been linked to supporting weight management and more!

In a perfect world, we could all sit back, relax, and enjoy knowing these friendly gut microbes are on our side. The only problem is, your gut microbiome is constantly under attack.

Poor diet, excessive use of antibiotics, lack of exercise, too much stress, inadequate sleep, artificial sweeteners, and other environmental factors can negatively shift the balance of microbial organisms—creating a challenge for friendly microbes to thrive. Often times, we don’t even realize how we harm the health of our gut microbiome with daily choices that seem insignificant.

Those “small” daily choices can really add up, potentially leading to an imbalanced gut microbiome and a condition called dysbiosis.²

Dysbiosis has many symptoms. Bloating, burping, gas, fatigue, bad breath, mental fog, weight gain, moodiness, and immune challenges are a handful of examples. We’re guessing a lot of these symptoms sound all too familiar—especially considering it’s believed around 60 percent of the American adult population suffers from an unbalanced gut.

HOW VITALBIOME WORKS

VitalBiome can be your go-to probiotic choice, especially if you’re wanting to bring your gut microbiome back into balance.*

With a unique Microbiome Activating Formula, VitalBiome “seeds” your gut with 20 billion^ beneficial microbes that help crowd out unhealthy ones. These beneficial microbes include Lactobacillus Helveticus (R0052), Bifidobacterium Longum (R0175), Bacillus Coagulans (MTCC 5856), Lactobacillus Acidophilus (NCFM), Lactobacillus Plantarum (LP-115), Bifidobacterium Lactis (Bl-04), Bifidobacterium Lactis (Bi-07), Saccharomyces Boulardii (I-3799).*

Healthy gut tip: If you’d like to know what makes each these bacteria strains so beneficial, we take a closer look at your healthy gut microbes in this in-depth article.

Getting these microbes right where they’re needed is also important. VitalBiome’s delayed release capsule protects these living organisms as they travel through your digestive system, protecting them from your stomach acid.

This special capsule also helps protect the microbes against oxygen and moisture while the product is being stored. Meaning, VitalBiome offers clinically studied levels of probiotics even at the time of expiration.
