How do I know if my metabolism isn’t functioning at its peak?
Metabolic rate varies from person to person and can reduce depending on age, underlying medical conditions, extreme dieting, hormones, etc. It is important to consult with your healthcare practitioner to assess your individual metabolic function, however, some signs that your metabolism may be functioning slower than normal are: 

— Fatigue & lethargy
— Weight changes
— Hair loss
— Mood changes
— Dry or troubled skin
— Brittle or weak nails
— Cognitive difficulty
— Sugar cravings

How long will it take for my metabolism to improve? 
Results will vary from person to person as every individual is different, however, metabolism may improve after 30-60 days with consistent daily supplementation.

Can I have these products while pregnant or breastfeeding?
We don’t recommend Hair + Metabolism during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Our GUT FIBRE Cleansing Powder is safe to consume while pregnant and breastfeeding. However, as everyone’s situation is different, we recommend that you check with your healthcare professional to see if this powder would be beneficial for you.

GUT FIBRE Cleansing Powder – Supports A Healthy Digestive System

Although there are microbiomes all over the body, the most important for overall health and wellbeing is the gut as this is central to almost every process in the body. Containing trillions of microorganisms with over 1000 known species of bacteria, a healthy gut microbiome is involved in:

— Regulating gut inflammation that can cause or minimise subsequent systemic inflammation 
— Neurotransmitter synthesis: bacteria in the gut help produce neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and acetylcholine, which regulate mood, cognition, and other important functions
— Hormone synthesis, regulation, and clearance
— Toxin/pathogen neutralisation and elimination 
— Digestive and metabolic processes, including energy production
— Immune strength: over 70% of the immune system resides in the gut, within the Gut–Associated Lymphoid Tissue (GALT)

Prebiotics

These compounds in food feed the living microorganism in your gut, encouraging a diverse range of good bacteria that outweighs the bad. It is important to note that there is always a level of “bad” bacteria in your gut, this is normal. It is the balance between these beneficial and potentially harmful bacteria strains that’s important. There are two types of fibre: insoluble and soluble. Both feed your gut bacteria, helping them to thrive and your digestive system to function at its best. Our GUT FIBRE Cleansing Powder is made of 100% pure maize dextrin which is a form of soluble fibre.

HAIR + METABOLISM — Metabolism 
Metabolism refers to the process in which your body converts what you consume into energy. Metabolic rate is the speed at which it does this, measured by the amount of energy per unit of time that a person is able to process to keep their body functioning. Metabolism is often thought of as being interchangeable with the word digestion, but it is actually far more complex and widespread than that. Metabolism exists in every cell in the body, as each unique cell requires energy to do its job. Maintaining a good metabolic rate means each cell in the body is able to yield enough energy to carry out its role in the body – whether it’s a cell in skeletal muscle, the lungs, skin, gastrointestinal tract, etc. There are a number of factors that can slow your metabolic rate, they vary from stress and fad dieting to age, muscle mass, hormonal factors and more. Metabolic rate will also vary from person to person. When metabolism is slower, and/or you consume more calories than your body is able to convert to energy and use, the body is designed to store this excess energy in adipose tissue (fat cells). There are a number of nutritional minerals and vitamins that can support metabolism. Biotin is one of them, as it helps convert fats and carbohydrates (macronutrients from food) into energy. Beyond this, biotin is involved in energy–yielding metabolism and subsequent energy production.

Riboflavin is predominantly found as an integral component of coenzymes, flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and flavin mononucleotide (FMN). FAD is an important component of the respiratory chain, closely involved in energy generation. It assists with releasing energy from food and moreover helps convert carbohydrates into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) — the carrier of energy within cells. As a B Vitamin, riboflavin is also involved in other metabolic energy–producing processes, including the citric acid cycle, as well as contributing to iron transportation and metabolism within the body.

Iodine is a trace element that supports thyroid function and energy production. The main function of iodine is to synthesise thyroid hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). Thyroid hormones are involved in stimulating basal metabolic rate, as well as the production of body heat. Beyond this, thyroid hormones are also involved in cellular oxygen consumption/use used to produce ATP (which in turn supports metabolic rate).
