Inspired Nutraceuticals MÜÜV: MÜÜV Bloating Out of Your Life

Inspired Nutraceuticals MÜÜV Supplement Facts

Gut health may not seem “sexy” on the surface, but the link between gut health and other health markers is proven. For the longest time gut health was only linked to digestion. However it has come to light through research that gut health is linked to a plethora of other health markers like inflammation, immune system, cognitive health, quality of sleep and more.

Inspired Nutraceuticals MÜÜV was designed and formulated to aid in healing and maintaining a healthy gut. A combination of pre and probiotics are used along with other ingredients that aid in digestion and soothing the gut lining to improve the health of your gut. 

Glutamine – 5,000mg

Glutamine has traditionally been used for muscle recovery. However in the past decade more research has come out regarding glutamine’s impact on the gut. That’s where the biggest benefit lies.

Per research, glutamine has the biggest impact in those who are currently experiencing gut health issues. Glutamine may help preserve or restore the intestinal barrier in people under physiological stress or with impaired gut integrity.

Glutamine is the main fuel source for enterocytes, which is the cell lining in the small intestines. Human studies on glutamine show that it improves gut health in multiple ways, but the most prevalent are reducing intestinal permeability (how effectively the gut lining controls what passes from inside the digestive tract into the bloodstream aka leaky gut syndrom) and supporting healing of the intestinal lining after stress or injury.

Glutamine supplementation has also been shown to help with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). Glutamine has been shown to reduce bloating and improve stool consistency.

Supplementing with 5-15g per day is recommended. 

Colostrum – 1,500mg

Colostrum is known as liquid gold. This is the substance produced by mammals the first few days after giving birth. This is why a lot of pediatricians recommend breast feeding your infants directly after birth. 

There is a strong body of evidence for colostrum benefits when it comes to gut health. The strongest evidence shows that supplementing with colostrum can help reduce increased intestinal permeability. This in turns reduces bloat by reducing inflammation in the gut lining and repairs intestinal epithelial cells

In addition to supporting the gut lining, it aids in supporting immune function.

The typical dosage in supplements is 1-3g per day.

Bovine Collagen Peptides – 1,000mg

Although evidence shows that supplementing with bovine collagen peptides are not as effective as glutamine and colostrum, there is still benefits from using bovine collagen peptides. Bovine collagen peptides may support the structure and healing of the intestinal lining through their amino acid (especially glycine) content and bioactive peptides. Limited evidence exists, but an area of emerging evidence is how supplementing with bovine collagen peptides may reduce intestinal inflammation, support mucosal healing (repair of the mucous membrane lining in the gastrointestinal tract), and aid in epithelial repair. 

Bovine collagen peptides may also reduce bloating and abdominal discomfort. Limited research shows that it may help regulate the stool.

Apple Cider Vinegar – 500mg

Supplementing with apple cider vinegar may aid in overall digestion. Research has shown that it specifically aids in glucose control and gastric function. It does not directly improve gut microbiome. Apple cider vinegar may improve digestive secretions and increase stomach acidity in individuals with low stomach acid – aiding in overall better digestion. 

The biggest benefit to apple cider vinegar is the evidence to support its impact on blood glucose regulations. It has been shown that supplementing with apple cider vinegar may reduce post-meal blood glucose and improve insulin sensitivity.

We typically see the dosage at 500-1,500mg.

Aloe Vera – 100mg

Aloe vera, much like apple cider vinegar, has been used by people for a long time to aid in digestion. It works by soothing the digestive tract. It supports the gut lining, improve gastrointestinal comfort and can aid in reducing digestive irritation. It aids in blood glucose metabolism as well.

iXOS Prebiotic – 500mg

iXOS is a branded xylooligosaccharide (XOS) prebiotic. It is an effective prebiotic that selectively stimulates beneficial bacteria in the gut and may improve gut health, stool quality, and production of beneficial short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). This is generally a well tolerated prebiotic that has been shown to be effective at low dosages. 

iXOS is really effective at increasing bifidobacterium. This can in turn push the gut microbiome toward a healthier composition.

Supplementing with iXOS has shown to improve gut barrier function and your immune system. It can also aid in reducing inflammation (bloat/discomfort). It may support bowel regularity and stool consistency. 

SL14 Probiotic – 12.5mg

SL14 Probiotic is a branded multi-strain probiotic blend. The studies done on SL14 are done on the entire formulation versus traditional studies that just look at individual strains. SL14 has 14 strains. 

In an eight week trial, supplementing with SL14 had shown to change the abundance of several microbial functional genes, alter metabolic pathways related to bacterial activity and modified pathways involved in amino acid metabolism and bacterial signaling. Long story short, it improved your gut microbiome. 

Improving the gut microbiome can lead to other health marker improvements like lower bloat, better sleep quality, improved cognitive function and more.
