Gastric Acid: -Stomach acid, or gastric acid, is a watery, colourless fluid that is produced by stomach's lining. It's highly acidic and helps break down food for easier digestion. This helps body to absorb nutrients more easily as food moves through the digestive tract.
Hyperacidity is the state of having excess acid in the stomach. Acid (gastric acid) is produced in the stomach to help in the digestion process, primarily in the breakdown of proteins. The secretion of acid in the stomach may disturb due to lifestyle issues, some foods, medicines, or stress.
Commonly, our response to hyperacidity is to take PPIs (Proton pump inhibitors) / empty stomach medicine, Antacids etc. According to a Study PPIs are ranked among the top 10 prescribed classes of drugs in all segment valued over Rs. 4500 crore and are commonly used to treat acid reflux and indigestion. In last 20 years of being used, widely used PPIs have resulted in common problems such as long-term kidney damage, acute renal disease and in certain cases gastric cancer.
Since, PPI completely stops the production of gastric acid, which is an essential component for digestion of food and absorption of nutrients, taking PPIs counteracts with the normal process of acid production and leads to indigestion and converting the food into waste (junk food) for our digestive system, therefore body is unable to get the nutrients from the healthy food being taken by us. LivLively don’t completely stop secretion of gastric acid, but it regulates the secretion of acid in sufficient quantity which is required for proper digestion of food.
Pre and probiotics are the live microbial strains which helps in gut health but the development process involve cultivating the strains in similar surrounding as of human body with is never exactly the same, when developed outside the body. These needs to be transported via cold chain transportation which is quite difficult to attain all times, which might lead to issues with quality of the product offering. After the loss in transportation, when we take these pre-probiotics the track through which it travels to the intestine is acidic which is unfavorable, again leads to loss of bacterial strains. Since, every human has different microbial flora and these Probiotics are prepared on a set formulation therefore there is acceptability issues in the gut and sometimes they have been treated as pathogens which leads to disturbed gut health. So, instead of betterment of microbial flora, it might lead to disruption of the colonies of the microbiomes (foreign bodies). LivLively enhance the production of existing gut microbes in the body making gut healthier without disturbing its natural flora, which ultimately helps in the development of required microbial strains in the body, thereby making healthy and fit.
Intestine: - The muscles of the small intestine mix food with digestive juices from the pancreas, liver, and intestine, and push the mixture forward for further digestion. The walls of the small intestine absorb water and the digested nutrients, Vitamins, Minerals & proteins into bloodstream. As peristalsis continues, the waste products of the digestive process move into the large intestine. Small intestine helps in breakdown of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Small intestine moves water from bloodstream into GI tract to help break down food. Small intestine also absorbs water and other nutrients.
GUT: - Behind the curtain, gut is responsible for putting body into working order. As it breaks down the foods we eat, gut helps to absorbs nutrients that support body's functions — from energy production to hormone balance, skin health to mental health, and even toxin and waste elimination.
Leaky GUT: - Inside our bellies, we have an extensive intestinal lining covering more than thousand square feet of surface area. When working properly, it forms a tight barrier that controls what gets absorbed into the bloodstream. An unhealthy gut lining or leaky GUT may have large cracks or holes, allowing partially digested food, toxins, and bugs to penetrate the tissues beneath it. It may lead to indigestion, excess secretion of gastric acid and may trigger inflammation in different body parts and changes in the gut microbiomes (good bacteria) that could lead to problems within the digestive tract and beyond.
MICROBIOME: - The incredible ecosystem that we call the human microbiome is home to microscopic species that grow like we do, interact like we do, and speak different languages like we do. During their millions of years of evolution, they have studied the human host carefully and found a way to communicate with us. They understand very clearly our anatomy and physiology, our strengths and our weaknesses, and our biological necessities and goals. With the appreciation that diet is the most influential factor shaping our gut microbiome, and that dysbiosis (the reduction in microbial diversity) can be associated with a variety of chronic inflammatory diseases. The human microbiota consists of the 10-100 trillion symbiotic microbial cells harboured by each person, primarily bacteria in the gut; the human microbiome consists of the genes these cells harbour. Microbiota stimulate the immune system, break down potentially toxic food compounds, and synthesize certain vitamins and amino acids, including the B vitamins and vitamin K. For example, the key enzymes needed to form vitamin B12 are only found during bacteria fermentation, microbial flora or the GUT Microbes are the Natural factory which helps in production of Vitamin B12. The microbiota of a healthy person will also provide protection from pathogenic organisms that enters the body, such as through drinking or eating contaminated food or water also play an important role in muscle function and possibly the prevention of chronic diseases, including certain cancers and bowel disorders, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, and antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Outside the digestive tract, gut microbes influence other organs and tissues through neural networks and signalling molecules. Through these complex communication networks, gut microbes regulate Maximum of the immune system and therefore play a central role in immune system homeostasis
GUT Brain Axis (GBA) is a complex communication system that not only ensures the proper maintenance of gastrointestinal homeostasis, but is likely to have multiple effects on affect, motivation, and higher cognitive functions. The complexity of these interactions is enclosed in the denomination of “gut-brain axis” (GBA). Its role is to monitor and integrate gut functions as well as to link emotional and cognitive centres of the brain with peripheral intestinal functions and mechanisms such as immune activation, intestinal permeability, enteric reflex, and entero-endocrine signalling. The mechanisms underlying GBA communications involve neuro-immuno-endocrine mediators. The mutualistic synergy between and humans is a relationship that is essential for growth, development, health and the prevention of diseases.
The gut brain axis: the interaction between enteric microbiota, central and enteric nervous systems
Leaky gut syndrome is usually provoked by exposure to substances which damage the integrity of the intestinal mucosa.
The commonest causes of damage are:
Other common causes are intake of excess of sugar, salt and gluten. One study found that intestinal permeability was increased most dramatically by a high sugar and salt diet.
The following conditions can potentially come about as a result of leaky gut:
We the makers of LivLively have understood the importance of GUT flora and have been tirelessly working on the ways to create a proper balance between our body and its natural microbial flora. After Extensive research of many years in collaboration with scientists of Europe, we have been able to identify a solution for this problem, which is now affecting the millions of people around the World.
Helps regulate the gastric juices, thereby helps in optimum release of these juices, which is the most important tool for digestion. Unlike other chemical-based medicines which completely stops the release of gastric juices which only provide the temporary solution & leads to other health problems. LivLively helps in optimum secretion of gastric juices and thus, helps in proper mixing of food with gastric juices, they in turn improves the overall digestion process, relieving from symptoms of hyperacidity, constipation, gas, heaviness and food reflux. After taking LivLively you will enjoy your favourite food without fear.
Helps maintain the optimum concentration of microbial flora in the GUT, since LivLively contains completely natural constituents with no chemicals, it acts as a source of energy for the microbial flora the “GOOD BACTERIA", they increase in number and maintain the optimum levels in the small intestine, which helps promote digestion of food and absorb the nutrients from the food and convert the absorbed nutrients into energy. Thereby helping you feel more energetic and full of life, with improvement in sleep cycles and reduce stress in life.
Resolves the issue of Leaky GUT, which is the result of improper balance of microbial flora. Since, now the microbial flora in body is in optimum concentration, leaky GUT resolves the issue and in turn helps in betterment of immune system of the body. Better immune system helps body to stay away from common pathogens responsible for making body sick. Also, overall improvement in immune system helps in positive response on all organs of the body.
