In today's world, there is a growing prevalence of individuals sensing an imbalance in their bodies. Often this sensation is not only the result of a poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle, but is also linked to an imbalanced gut microbiome. Good well-being starts with a balanced gut flora. With that being said, the use of synbiotics (probiotic supplements that include prebiotic components) is showing promise in alleviating the symptoms of gut discomfort, managing metabolism, and preventing disorders related to obesity.

• Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis (B. Lactis) — is one of the most common species of bifidobacteria used as a probiotic. More than 60 scientific studies, including 16 clinical trials, have demonstrated that the B. Lactis B420™ strain can slow down numerous harmful processes associated with gut dysbiosis, contributing to:
  – Enhanced integrity of the epithelium by reinforcing its barrier function;
  – Modulation of microbiota composition, promoting an increase in beneficial bacteria, including Akkermansia muciniphila. This leads to a healthier body weight, reduced fat, improved insulin sensitivity, ultimately benefiting metabolism and weight control.
• Probiotic strain Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. Lactis B420™ from HOWARU®:
  – Has been identified;
  – Has undergone genetic safety testing;
  – Has been tested for toxicity and confirmed its safety for human consumption;
  – Has been tested for tolerance to gastric acid and bile acid salts, ensuring its survival in the digestive tract.
• Actilight® fructooligosaccharides are a concentrate of soluble fiber obtained from sugar beets using a bioconversion process inspired by nature. Dietary fiber is a natural fiber with prebiotic properties, a nutrient that is not digested but promotes improved intestinal flora, growth of beneficial bacteria, and digestive transit. The unique and constant composition makes Actilight® short-chain fructooligosaccharides one of the best prebiotics, which manages to exert its prebiotic action even at very low concentrations. Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated that Actilight® serves as a nourishing source for bacteria within the Bifidus genus. These studies have showcased the beneficial effects of Actilight® on intestinal function and weight regulation.
