Athlemixx Advantages
Special high concentration probiotic with specially selected species to:
1. Help regulate Intestinal O2 use allowing more O2 for muscles, brain, heart and lungs etc. This is significant as the digestive system uses approx. 1/3 or total cardiac output. The selected bacterial species modulate Hypoxia Inducible Factors (HIF) that regulate O2 usage in the gut by epithelial cells. Modulation of the HIF can switch epithelial cells to anaerobic glycolysis, which does not require O2, therefore, reducing the overall O2 usage in the gut. The bacterial strains then metabolize the lactic acid byproduct.
Since there is less O2 required in the gut, more is available to supply tissues such as muscle and brain cells during athletic endeavours providing an advantage. As well as providing vigour, well-being and potentially cognitive benefits in everyday life.
2. Lactic Acid builds up during intense exercise through the anaerobic glycolysis energy system. Normally the Lactic acid has to be broken down in the liver in the presence of O2. As extra Oxygen is required to do this an 'Oxygen debt builds up often observed as increased 'panting' by the athlete. The formula above contains the species that enable the gut microbiome to more efficiently break down Lactic Acid into short chain Fatty Acids, such as propionate (beneficial for the microbiota) and eventually releasing glucose as a metabolite back into the athlete's bloodstream. This allows the athlete to recover quicker from the anaerobic energy system and is another mechanism by which the microbiome leaves more O2 available for tissues that require it during athletic performance as well as enhances recovery after exercise via the reduction of blood lactate levels.
3. The third key way this High potency probiotic benefits athletes is through the traditional probiotic mechanisms of action. As well as the above unique advantages, this probiotic is high strength with demonstrated efficacy. Since 70% of the immune system is situated in the gut, there is a huge advantage to taking beneficial strains in high concentration, to reduce the likelihood of illness that exercise can make people more susceptible to over the training season, due to the compounding effect of exercise on top of lifestyle stressors reducing immunity. Probiotics act in ways to reduce inflammatory cytokines and protect epithelial health to optimize digestion, wellbeing and systemic recovery.
