7 nutrients to support your microbiome and help improve digestion

Your gut is the foundation for your body’s health. It digests your foods, absorbs nutrients, and removes wastes and toxins. The microbiome (bacteria) in your gut affects everything from your mood, emotions, sleep, metabolism, and immune system, to your overall health. An unhealthy gut or imbalance in your microbiome can result in issues including chronic fatigue and inflammation throughout your body. Here’s how SOS Original formula supports your gut health and digestion.



Top 7 nutrients for gut health in SOS Original:

Prebiotics/Fiber

Most Americans do not get enough fiber in their diets, thereby increasing their risk for multiple chronic diseases1. Increasing fiber intake can significantly alter the gut microbiome to improve bacteria diversity and support overall health2. The following analysis of 185 studies shows that improved gut health from increased fiber intake resulted in the reduction of multiple chronic conditions including heart disease, diabetes, and body weight3. SOS Original formula provides 9g of dietary fiber to help boost your daily intake.

Probiotics

Our guts are home to a broad spectrum of bacteria that make up our microbiome. A balance of ‘good’ gut bacteria has been linked to numerous health benefits1. Probiotics have shown promise for a variety of health purposes, including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), ulcerative colitis, and diarrhea along with some allergies and mental health conditions2,3.

Digestive Enzymes

Digestive enzymes play a key role in breaking down the food that you eat so your body can absorb the nutrients that support your health1. Your body does not always provide all the enzymes that you need and by adding enzymes can support improved digestion and can help with bloating, diarrhea, gas, and belly pain2.

Vitamin D3

Low levels of vitamin D have been associated with multiple chronic conditions including inflammatory bowel disease1. Recent studies have shown that improved levels of vitamin D correlate to a more diverse gut microbiome2 and reduced gastrointestinal inflammation3.

Magnesium

Magnesium is responsible for numerous life-supporting and regulatory functions throughout your body1. Evidence suggests that the benefits of magnesium may be linked to its support for microbiome diversity and gut health2.

Zinc

Zinc is the second-most abundant trace mineral in your body (after iron). As an essential nutrient, it is critical to get adequate amounts of zinc in your diet1. Zinc has been shown to support multiple gastrointestinal conditions including diarrhea, inflammatory bowel diseases, and Crohn's disease2,3. It has also been demonstrated that zinc can improve the diversity of the gut microbiome which may influence conditions including depression, diabetes, and obesity4.

Omega 3

Embraced for numerous health benefits including being heart-friendly, reducing inflammation, and supporting brain health, omega 3 fatty acids can also support a healthy gut. Omega 3 has been shown to improve gut microbiome diversity1 which may support multiple gastrointestinal disorders as well as several chronic diseases2.

"I've been making smoothies almost daily for decades. Of all the products I've tried, SOS is by far the most comprehensive and thoughtfully made. It simplifies my life and allows me to ditch all the vitamin pills on my shelf. As an unexpected bonus, I've found that SOS significantly improves recovery after I exercise. Keep up the great work!"

"I am a diabetic, busy and a creature of habit. Primarily, I eat meat and spinach or meat and broccoli... you get the idea. SOS Nutrients helps me balance my diet while on the go, and it helps me keep my A1c (Blood Sugar) levels down. Lastly, at 64, the anti-inflammatory effects of the Turmeric and Black Pepper are appreciated! I am very happy I found SOS!!!"
