Saccharomyces Boulardii has shown significant promise in promoting digestive health. It has been found to help maintain and restore the natural flora in the large and small intestines and has been shown to inhibit inflammatory processes in the gut. Furthermore, studies have also explored its potential in improving mental health and cognitive function under stress.
In the digestive system, Bifidobacterium longum helps maintain a healthy balance of gut flora, which is essential for proper digestion, nutrient absorption, and defense against harmful bacteria. It's particularly beneficial in maintaining the integrity of the intestinal lining, thus preventing issues like leaky gut syndrome.
Lactobacillus acidophilus plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy balance of gut flora. It aids in digestion and the absorption of nutrients. By producing lactic acid, it lowers the pH of the intestine, which inhibits harmful bacteria growth, thereby supporting gut health and potentially preventing gastrointestinal infections.
A natural polysaccharide found in many plants, Arabinogalactan is partly fermentable by gut microbiota, indicating its potential as a prebiotic. It promotes the production of beneficial metabolites like short-chain fatty acids, lactic acid, and acetic acid while inhibiting certain harmful bacteria and metabolites.
High in dietary fiber, brown rice flour can improve the transit of food through the digestive tract, regulate bowel movements, and contribute to overall metabolic health and gut motility. Systematic reviews have concluded that whole grains reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, cardiovascular disease, and even cancer.
MOS has been found to help maintain and restore the natural flora in the large and small intestines. It has also been shown to inhibit inflammatory processes in the gut. This is particularly beneficial in preventing and treating various types of diarrhea, including those associated with antibiotic use, as well as in inflammatory bowel disease.
L-Glutamine is crucial for the health of the intestinal lining. It serves as a primary fuel source for the cells in the intestines, helping to maintain the integrity of the gut barrier. Certain conditions like stress, injury, or illness can increase the need for dietary sources. It may reduce intestinal inflammation and can be beneficial in conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Quercetin is a phytoestrogen and flavonoid found in fruits, vegetables, and grains. It exhibits antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, anti-allergic, immunomodulatory, and neuromodulatory activities. Quercetin increases energy expenditure and decreases release of inflammatory cytokines. Clinically, this compound also has been shown to decrease blood pressure.
Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant found in every cell in your body. It supports cellular repair, signaling and metabolism, and protects against oxidative stress while assisting in detoxification. In the digestive system, glutathione is abundant in mucosal cells. It's vital for maintaining a normal antioxidant potential. Glutathione plays a role in the maintenance of gut homeostasis and affects the microbiome.
The overall body of research underscores the importance of maintaining adequate hydration for optimal digestive health and overall bodily function. Poor hydration disrupts the microbiome, impairs nutrient absorpotion, and can lead to toxin buildup, increased risk of impactions in the colon, and increased risk of digestive disorders. This is why hydration of the colon is an essential element of our therapy.
Good intestinal motility, which refers to the efficient movement of food through the digestive tract, is critical for digestive health. There is a symbiotic relationship between the gut microbiota and intestinal motility. Disruptions in motility can lead to pathogenicity in the microbiome, which can lead to a range of digestive disorders. Repose aims to optimise motility with its novel integrative therapeutic methods, including a visceral massage protocol.
A rich and varied microbiome can enhance the body's immune response, helping to fend off harmful pathogens. Conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and Crohn's disease are less common in individuals with a diverse gut microbiome. Repose supports biodiversity in the microbiome with its synbiotic blends and targeted nutrients that create a healthy environment for biodiversity.
The ENS, often called "second brain," is a complex network of neurons, neurotransmitters, and proteins embedded in the lining of the gastrointestinal system. It plays a vital role in managing and regulating the digestive process, including the movement of food through the gut (peristalsis), the release of digestive enzymes, and blood flow regulation within the GI tract. Repose's therapeutics act beneficially on the ENS in both supplemental and physical/manual ways.
At Repose Health, we aim to help people achieve their best. We aim to support the individuals ability to meet their continuing requirements for self care. Agency in the form of self care is actualized through the visceral self-massage protocol included in Repose's therapy as well as in the simple act of choosing to engage in a new form of care to take control of one's health. These kinds of care are empowering and have significant positive implications for mental well-being, particularly in the context of chronic health conditions like digestive disorders.
Breath work, a practice that involves intentional control of breathing patterns, has been increasingly recognized for its potential psychological benefits, especially in the context of treating various health conditions, including digestive disorders. Conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) are often associated with mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. Effective digestive health management can lead to improvements in these psychological aspects. Repose also enlists breath work as a health promoting, body-regulating part of its therapy.
These formulations have been encapsulated and are designed to function via traditional methods of taking synbiotic and nutrient-based supplements. Additionally, they have been designed to work in an integrated fashion with the Lower Digestive System Formulations.
Taking the next level of care involves treating the whole digestive system in new ways. That's why we chose to create a unique combination of formulations that work more directly on the site that is often the most dysregulated, the colon. By applying these directly to the colon an enhanced range of therapeutic benefits can be achieved. The application method itself is fast, easy, and safe.
