The Science
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.
Energy Support
Clinical studies have investigated the ingestion of soluble fibre showing that it bypasses digestion in the small intestine where 90% of most nutrients are absorbed. This allows the soluble fibre to travel further down the digestive tract so it can be fermented by bacteria in the large intestine. This bacterial fermentation process produces Short–Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs), an important metabolite for many functions in the body. One of the main ones being its responsibility to feed mitochondria — the powerhouse of each cell that produces Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), otherwise known as energy!
Hormonal Health
Further studies have shown that hormonal health is highly dependent on fibre intake as it encourages hormone clearance through regular bowel movements. Excess or used hormones are broken down in the liver and excreted via bile through our stools. However, this bile must bind to fibre in order to be excreted from the body. A balance of healthy bacteria from adequate fibre intake is also important for deactivating oestrogen and other hormones (that have been used by the body) so that they are not reabsorbed into circulation.

SLEEP Superfood Powder — Melatonin Support & Improved Sleep Quality
There is an amino acid known as tryptophan in Tart Cherry (the No.1 ingredient in the SLEEP Powder) that is a precursor (meaning it’s involved in the production of) of melatonin (for sleep) and serotonin (your happiness hormone). Clinical evidence further suggests that a primary function of melatonin in Tart Cherries is also as an antioxidant, helping protect the cherry from oxidative stress. This works two-fold, as melatonin doubles as a potent antioxidant in the human body, assisting with anti-inflammation, skin health, reducing free radicals, and supporting the body against oxidative damage.

In another major 2012 study on Tart Cherry and melatonin synthesis, it was found that supplementation increased circulating melatonin levels in the body, improved sleep time and quality, elevated total melatonin content, increased total sleep duration, reduced daytime napping, and improved sleep efficiency in total by 82.3%.
