Our cumulative lifestyle choices (unavoidable and intentional) affect the state of everyone’s microbiome. Everything that goes into the body influences our health trajectory. Balancing the bacteria in the gut benefits our immune system, brain function, skin and digestion. Once the gut’s harmony is disrupted it’s difficult to re-establish balance. Generally, people begin to recognize their gut health is off-balance when they notice a change in their overall health. Sugar Shift® targets the way the body metabolizes sugars.

Excess glucose and fructose in the Standard American Diet take a toll on our microbiome diversity and our overall health. These sugars are hidden in many processed foods and are difficult to avoid completely. Fructose is especially challenging to our overall metabolic health and is a key driver of metabolic disease and imbalance in the microbiome.

Our unique eight-strain formula was designed to tackle this problem head-on by converting glucose and fructose in the gut to the powerful free radical scavenger, mannitol. Our formula includes three keystone strains that are proprietary to us and work in harmony with the other five strains to form a stable, sustainable community. This allows the gut microbiome to sequester heavy metals, produce short chain fatty acids, recycle iron and copper, and produce more energy. This formula reduces Gram negative bacteria and their harmful endotoxins and produces anti-inflammatory substances like glutathione and melatonin.

Here are some of the key strains and
benefits that differentiate our formula:

Bacillus subtilis (DE111® by Deerland ) enhances immune function and pathogen control, helps regulate with both diarrhea and constipation by maintaining gastrointestinal health. Increases muscle mass and reduces body fat.

Bifidobacterium bifidum interacts with immune system by producing a variety of molecules that act as essential communicators with the immune cells in the mucosal lining of the gut. It also stimulates growth of other commensal bacteria that produce butyrate to support the gut lining.

Bifidobacterium longum protects against pathogens, modulates the immune system, and provides essential nutrients through the digestion of resistant carbohydrates. It may also dampen the effects associated with periods of acute stress. It produces metabolites that are key to a healthy gut, reduces oxidative stress, and stimulates the sleep centers of the brain.

Lactobacillus plantarum (TBC LP-36™) Breaks down acetaldehyde which can damage membranes and produces butyrate which protects the gut barrier. It is effective in controlling pathogens, by producing potent antimicrobial peptides. Our strain is unique in its ability to degrade glyphosate to carbon, phosphate and water and sequesters and removes heavy metals such as aluminum.

Lactobacillus reuteri (PCR07) makes antimicrobial substances, converts glucose to mannitol and may reduce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. L. reuteri is also associated with increased production of oxytocin, the love hormone and accelerated wound healing.

Leuconostoc mesenteroides (TBC LM-37™)   converts glucose and fructose into mannitol, a powerful free radical scavenger. It produces anti-inflammatory substances, protects the gut lining, and makes vitamin B12. B12 production of DNA, melatonin, and red and white blood cells. White blood cells are critical for a healthy immune system and melatonin.

Pediococcus acidilactici  (TBC PA-68™) primarily controls pathogens, by producing the bacteriocin pediocin A, known to have anti-viral and anti-listerial properties. It also may prevent inflammatory compounds from crossing the gut lining.

Our formulas are balanced for sustained action, which means they work longer and are stronger.  Restore the balance of bacteria in your gut and rediscover your best health. Order today!
