Our Triglyceride study has been published!⁣
⁣
A recent double-blind, placebo-controlled study found that supplementation with MegaSporeBiotic™ for 12 weeks significantly reduced triglycerides (by 38% to be exact)! This study represents an exciting, novel approach to managing blood triglycerides and shows that MegaSporeBiotic™ can do much more than support healthy digestion. ⁣

These are the best Probiotics!

At Microbiome Labs, we want to ensure that our products are safe and effective, which is why we work with universities and labs around the world to perform human clinical trials!

In 2017, researchers at the University of North Texas examined the effects of MegaSporeBiotic™ on symptoms of leaky gut in healthy adults. Study participants received 2 capsules of MegaSporeBiotic™ daily for 30 days and were told not to change anything else about their lifestyles.

Participants also received a highly processed, high-fat challenge meal at the beginning and end of the study. This type of meal is known to harm the gut lining shortly after ingestion allowing a harmful endotoxin (a toxin produced within the gut), called LPS, to seep into the blood stream. LPS is a key indicator of leaky gut!

At the end of the trial, researchers found that MegaSporeBiotic™️ reduced leaky gut by a whopping 42% from baseline and 60% compared to the placebo group! In addition, MegaSporeBiotic™ also reduced serum triglycerides and a host of inflammatory cytokines.*

Acupuncture is great for treating anxiety and depression.

According to the most up to date evidence, acupuncture is an effective treatment for anxiety. In 2017, The Acupuncture Evidence Project, co-authored by Dr John McDonald, PhD and Dr Stephen Janz, was published, providing an up-to-date comparative review of the clinical and scientific evidence for acupuncture.
https://www.evidencebasedacupuncture.org/present-research/acupuncture-anxiety/

This comprehensive document, updating two previous reviews, determined that acupuncture is moderately effective in treating anxiety according to high-level evidence. Their evidence included a 2016 systematic review with over 400 randomised patients that concluded that ‘the effects from acupuncture for treating anxiety have been shown to be significant as compared to conventional treatments.’ The largest of these studies, which included 120 randomized patients, found that acupuncture had a large effect on reducing anxiety and depression compared to conventional treatment involving pharmacological approaches and psychotherapy, with over twice the reduction in symptoms.

A more recent systematic review published in 2018 found that all 13 included studies “reported an anxiety decrease for their treatment group relative to the control groups.” Three of these studies used pharmaceuticals as controls.

I actually do say this a lot!
