Find your good mood!
Find your good mood! You will say yes I want to, but how to do it? This is precisely what this article will address. A little reading for a big change!
It is often said that there is no health without mental health. Statistics show us that people are increasingly stressed, anxious or having trouble sleeping. We see that psychological distress has increased in recent decades. We also see that gastrointestinal disorders are increasingly common among young adults and that these are often associated with depressive symptoms.
Making the link between gut health and mood
The intestine at the center of health
If you didn't already know, the gut is home to billions of microorganisms that all play a crucial role in maintaining daily well-being. This diversity is essential to good health. The degradation of microbial populations is often linked to many chronic diseases and even certain neurological disorders. The message is clear, when it comes to managing overall health, the gut should not be sidelined.
Stressed gut, stressed brain
When our gut microbiota is imbalanced, we tend to see negative health impacts. Unfortunately, the impacts of a distressed microbiota are not limited to the gut.
The vagus nerve is one of the main components of our parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). The PNS is responsible for putting the body to rest and relaxation. It is largely through two-way communication along the vagus nerve that a healthy, balanced microbiome is associated with improved mood and reduced feelings of anxiety.
Gut microbes work hand-in-hand with signaling networks to regulate the stress response and control neurotransmitter production. However, a microbiota that is not in top form will not be able to perform these functions. For this reason, fostering a robust, diverse and balanced intestinal ecosystem is essential to regulate oxidative stress and promote good mood.
Oxidative stress and its impact on mood
What is oxidative stress?
Oxidative stress is the result of a systemic imbalance of reactive oxidative species. Under optimal conditions, our body tightly regulates these molecules through a sophisticated antioxidant defense network, ensuring that levels remain optimal.
Stress leads to oxidative stress
In times of intense stress, we often see harmful increases in the production of reactive oxidative species. This increase creates excessive inflammation linked to several negative effects on health and mood.
Mood support, more important than ever
By reviewing the statistics, Genuine Health experts came to the conclusion that the market must offer a solution to turn these numbers around. Driven by research, they designed a probiotic formula to support people who are feeling more stressed and anxious than usual. But that's not all ! If you have trouble sleeping, are unable to concentrate on your tasks, experience more physical fatigue or more digestive symptoms associated with stress than usual, you have not been forgotten.
Genuine Health wanted to create a balanced probiotic formula that supports both digestion and mood. The new advanced intestinal health probiotic Humeur was then created with its 15 strains of probiotics. Species backed by excellent research were included for their benefits on both mood and stress.
Some major components
Lactobacillus gasseri
A bacterial strain clinically proven to help improve mood and sleep quality and reduce signs of anxiety.
Lactobacillus salivarius
A clinically proven bacterial strain that promotes positive thoughts.
Curcumis melo, a concentrate of French melon
French melon is particularly rich in a variety of health-promoting compounds, including the antioxidant super oxide dismutase (SOD). SOD plays a central role in maintaining a balance of oxidative stress. Moreover, SOD supplementation has been the subject of clinical research to demonstrate its ability to help strengthen our body's intrinsic antioxidant defenses.
A daily 10 mg serving of SOD-rich Extramel MD French Melon Concentrate has been clinically proven to help reduce fatigue and stress and improve overall quality of life in just 28 days. That's why this proven 10 mg dose of Extramel MD has been added to the Mood Advanced Gut Health Probiotic.
The combination of Extramel MD and a high quality probiotic creates a highly effective daily supplement to target the root of physical and psychological stress in just one capsule per day.
The same good care for everyone
Finally, it was crucial to ensure that Humeur Advanced Gut Health probiotics received the same level of care as all other probiotics in the Advanced Gut Health line.
All probiotic strains are genetically verified, triple-cleaned and delivered in our unique delayed-release vegan capsule. All for maximum power.
