When it comes to optimizing gut health, combining the right probiotic with a custom-tailored prebiotic is key. Our flagship human-origin strain B. adolescentis is particularly effective when paired with targeted galactooligosaccharides (GOS). Unlike generic prebiotics, GOS acts as a selective food source specifically for beneficial bacteria like B. adolescentis, boosting their growth while limiting the growth of potentially harmful microbes.
Why Personalized Precision Prebiotics Matter
Generic prebiotics feed a broad range of microbes, which may not always be ideal for each individual’s unique gut environment. Precision prebiotics, however, are formulated based on your microbiome test results. These results provide insights into which bacterial strains are abundant or deficient in your gut, allowing us to tailor a specific prebiotic mix that will best support your individual microbiome needs.
B. adolescentis and personalized precision prebiotics work together to maximize microbial diversity and balance. This approach helps ensure that beneficial bacteria are not only introduced to the gut but also have the resources they need to thrive, leading to a healthier and more resilient gut environment.
How B. adolescentis and GOS Work Together
Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) is a prebiotic fiber that selectively stimulates the growth of bifidobacteria like B. adolescentis, which are crucial for maintaining gut health. When paired with B. adolescentis, GOS helps create a nutrient-rich environment in which beneficial bacteria can flourish, out-competing harmful microbes and reducing the risk of gut imbalances (or dysbiosis).
Clinical trials have demonstrated that B. adolescentis reaches levels up to 10 times higher than leading probiotic strains when paired with GOS. This high concentration of B. adolescentis helps maintain the integrity of the gut lining, promotes digestive health, and enhances the body’s ability to resist inflammation and infections.
The Benefits of a Balanced Microbiome
A diverse and balanced gut microbiome provides numerous health benefits, from improved digestion to enhanced mental wellness. B. adolescentis, combined with personalized prebiotics, helps to restore and maintain this balance by supporting the growth of helpful bacteria, which:
- Strengthen the gut barrier by increasing tight junction proteins, reducing gut permeability (commonly known as leaky gut).
- Promote the growth of native bifidobacteria, which aids in breaking down dietary fiber, produces important vitamins, and generates short-chain fatty acids that feed gut cells.
- Provide resilience against harmful bacteria, reducing gut inflammation and promoting a balanced immune response.
Personalized Prebiotics: Your Unique Gut Health Solution
Your gut microbiome is like a fingerprint—unique to you. With Element Longevity’s microbiome test, we are able to analyze your specific bacterial composition and create a customized prebiotic blend that works synergistically with B. adolescentis. This personalized approach means that you are not only introducing beneficial microbes but also ensuring they have the right nutrients to survive, colonize, and support your overall health.
By leveraging precision prebiotics based on microbiome testing, we create a targeted health solution designed to optimize your microbiome and, in turn, your overall wellness. This personalized combination ensures that your gut ecosystem remains robust, diverse, and capable of supporting functions such as nutrient absorption, immune health, and mental clarity.
The Science Behind Precision
A study led by Synbiotic Health shows that combining B. adolescentis with targeted GOS significantly boosts the population of beneficial bifidobacteria compared to using a probiotic or prebiotic alone. The personalized approach taken by Element Longevity is based on this and other studies, highlighting that individualized microbiome care can be much more effective than a one-size-fits-all solution.
B. adolescentis isn’t just another probiotic—it’s a comprehensive, science-backed solution for gut health, made even more powerful when paired with personalized prebiotics. This approach helps to restore and maintain the diversity and balance of the gut microbiome, ensuring long-term health and vitality.
