TrueDYB - Digest Your Best

Solnul™ is a prebiotic fiber that comes from Canadian potatoes.  It’s a type of fiber known as resistant starch, which is especially valuable to our health because it acts like both insoluble and soluble fiber.

Solnul™ arrives in the large intestine intact (like insoluble fiber) but is completely fermentable (like soluble fiber) providing significant prebiotic activity and digestive health benefits.

With modern diets, we consume up to 80% less resistant starch fiber than earlier generations. Some researchers have linked this decline in resistant starch consumption to an increase in certain age-related health challenges.

The decline in resistant starch intake among humans is mainly due to changes in dietary preferences (eating less starchy foods) and modern food processing methods.  Solnul™ can help bridge this gap.

In addition to its many health benefits, Solnul™ is very sustainable, and certified as an upcycled ingredient (made from material previously discarded). When potatoes are cut, the water used becomes concentrated in starch.

The makers of Solnul™ use a proprietary process to remove the starch from the water, dry it and capture the unmodified resistant starch as Solnul™ fiber.  Better yet, the clean water is returned to the reservoir for use in surrounding crops, creating a sustainable loop.

In addition to being an Upcycled Certified™ ingredient, Solnul™ is also Non-GMO Project Verified, certified Gluten Free, and Glyphosate Residue Free.  It is also approved as FODMAP diet friendly.  It is well tolerated and won’t cause digestive upset because it ferments slowly in the intestines.

Solnul™ and resistant starch more broadly have been the subject of many research studies, spanning decades.  Published research studies with the 3.5 grams of prebiotic Solnul™ fiber found in each serving of TrueDYB indicates it may help you in the following ways:

• Helps support regular bowel movements and healthy stool formation.
• Helps increase beneficial bacteria in intestines and supports a healthy microbial balance.
• Helps promote the growth of beneficial Bifidobacterium in the intestines, which supports digestive health and immune system function.
• Helps promote the growth of beneficial Akkermansia bacteria in the intestines, which research is finding can help support gut, metabolic and blood sugar health and weight management.
• Helps support function of the protective intestinal barrier by supporting healthy histamine levels and promoting beneficial Akkermansia in the intestines.
• Helps support skin health by maintaining collagen integrity, as evidenced by decreases in markers of collagen degradation.

PreforPro® is a next generation prebiotic that works differently than the prebiotic fibers in TrueDYB – and complements their action.  PreforPro® is a cocktail of several natural organisms found in the body called bacteriophages, or phages, for short.

The phages in PreforPro® target and help displace undesirable bacteria in the gut.  This action releases nutrients which can be consumed by good bacteria so they can grow and flourish in the intestines.

Within hours after you take TrueDYB, PreforPro® starts going to work and research indicates it can help promote a broad spectrum of beneficial bacteria strains in the gut, including Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Bacillus subtilis strains.

Research also found PreforPro® may enhance the effects of probiotics such as those found in TrueDYB.

PreforPro® doesn’t cause gas or bloating.  Some of the ways PreforPro® may help you include:

• Helps support the growth of normal beneficial bacteria in the gut.
• Helps relieve symptoms of occasional stomach discomfort.
• Helps stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria that comprise a healthy colon.
• Helps support healthy and normal immune system function.
• Helps promote urinary tract health.

Inulin is a fiber that contains nutrients called fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) that the beneficial Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium bacteria in the intestines love to consume to help them grow and flourish.

The inulin in TrueDYB comes from the chicory root plant.  It’s a soluble fiber that ferments relatively quickly in the gut to feed beneficial bacteria. For this reason, you don’t want to take large amounts of inulin at one time.

TrueDYB is carefully formulated with 2g of inulin, which is unlikely to cause gas or bloating or other undesirable effects, but offers valuable prebiotic activity when combined with the Solnul™ soluble fiber.

Each serving of TrueDYB contains a total of 5g of dietary fiber to support digestive and intestinal health.

DE111® is a branded and scientifically studied Bacillus subtilis probiotic strain. DE111® is a spore-forming probiotic, meaning it can form endospores to protect itself in varying conditions.  As a result, DE111 is very stable – it survives the journey through the stomach and gut and remains stable in product packaging through the expiration date.

Better yet, DE111® has been the subject of more than 30 research studies and 9 published human trials that show it can offer a wide range of digestive and other benefits. DE111® can start germinating within hours in the small intestines and promote a healthier balance of good bacteria in the gut microbiome.

In addition, DE111® helps nutrient absorption by helping to produce enzymes that breakdown proteins, carbohydrates, sugars and fats.

DE111® can also help you maintain regular and healthy bowel movements when taken daily.  In addition, DE111® works to help form normal stool shapes and sizes – not too soft and not too hard or lumpy – and helps reduce occasional gastrointestinal discomfort.

Other research with healthy adults shows that the 1 billion CFUs of DE111® that’s included in each serving of TrueDYB may help cardiovascular health.  It was found that DE111® can help maintain already-healthy cholesterol levels and support healthy blood flow and other measures of heart health.

On top of this, DE111® can help support immune system function – in part by promoting increased levels of Bifidobacterium, a good type of bacteria known for helping various aspects of immune health.

Research with DE111® indicates it can support the function of both innate (rapid response) and adaptive (slow response) immune cells.  In addition, DE111® can help the body recover from exercise.

A summary of how DE111® may help you is provided below:

• Helps support healthy gut function.
• Helps support intestinal microbiome health by promoting the growth of normal beneficial bacteria in the gut.
• Helps promote and optimize nutrient absorption.
• Helps promote regular bowel movements and normal stool forms and sizes.
• Helps support cardiovascular and heart health.
• Helps maintain already-healthy cholesterol levels and support healthy blood flow.
• Helps support immune system function.
• Helps support muscle recovery from exercise.

SNZ 1969® is believed to be the most studied Bacillus coagulans strain in the world with over 30 human studies (across different age groups) backing its digestive health and other benefits. SNZ 1969® was initially developed as part of collaboration between Japanese and Indian researchers.

It’s been used worldwide for almost 50 years (the 1969 refers to the year development began) and has an excellent record of safety and health support.

SNZ 1969® survives the acidic environment in the stomach and flourishes in the intestines. Research with SNZ 1969® found it can help provide relief from occasional heartburn, indigestion, belching, bloating and gas.

It also supports and maintains digestive health and comfort by promoting a healthy balance of good bacteria in the gut and colon.

SNZ 1969® also can promote more regular, complete, and comfortable bowel movements. Research shows that in addition to promoting a healthier gut microbiome, it helps support food transit time through the intestines and colon, which helps you stay regular, form better stools and eliminate more waste.

In addition, the makers of SNZ 1969® have invested in several studies for women’s health, finding that SNZ 1969® helps a healthy balance of bacteria in the vagina.  SNZ 1969® also may help support immune system function.

A summary of how SNZ 1969® may help you is provided below:

• Helps provide relief from occasional heartburn, indigestion, belching, bloating and gas.
• Helps support a healthy balance of good bacteria in the gut and colon.
• Helps promote more regular, complete, and comfortable bowel movements.
• Helps support normal food transit time.
• Helps support healthy digestion and gut comfort.
• Helps support immune system function.
• Helps support vaginal health.

Probiotics are live microorganisms that can benefit our health when ingested in adequate amounts. A postbiotic is typically a probiotic strain that’s been subjected to heat and the microorganisms are no longer alive, but can still offer health benefits when ingested in sufficient quantities.

The advantage to postbiotics is they are much less likely to be degraded by digestive fluids and are shelf-stable – making them perfect for the TrueDYB drink powder.

TrueDYB contains the Lactobacillus casei 327 postbiotic, which is from Japan and derived from brown rice.  Research with Lactobacillus casei 327 shows it can help promote regularity and healthy bowel movement frequency.

This effect was observed after 2 weeks in adults taking 25mg of Lactobacillus casei 327 (approximately 50 billion CFUs), the amount in a serving of TrueDYB.  What’s more, other research with Lactobacillus casei 327 indicates it works in part by promoting serotonin production in the gut.

Serotonin is sometimes called the “feel good” hormone for how it helps support good moods, and it is also involved in helping food move through the gut, which helps us stay regular.

Another research study showed that women taking 50mg daily of Lactobacillus casei 327 for 60 days experienced an improvement in a skin moisturization measure, on average. Also important, Lactobacillus casei 327 has been shown to be well-tolerated and safe, including in those taking a much larger amount (250mg daily).

Bifidobacterium are beneficial microorganisms that are very prominent in the gut when we’re infants and children, but tend to decline in number as we age. One of the most common strains found in our intestines is Bifidobacterium longum (or B. longum).

As a probiotic, B. longum offers valuable health support to the gut and immune system – but this strain can be a challenge to keep stable and alive till it reaches the intestines.

As a postbiotic, research is finding heat-treated B. longum may also be beneficial. TrueDYB contains the Bifidobacterium longum BR-108 postbiotic to help maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in the gut, support digestive function and help activate immune gut factors that support immune system function.

Digexin® is an innovative herbal complex that supports both digestive and brain health. It’s made from tender okra pods and ashwagandha root. For digestive health, Digexin® works by supporting a process called peristalsis in the gut. Peristalsis refers to a series of involuntary muscle contractions that move food through the digestive tract.

As evidence of this, in research those taking Digexin® for 60 days were able to increase food transit time through the digestive system by 3 to 4 hours (in a 24-hour period), on average. This helped users experience more regular and frequent bowel movements starting in the first 2 weeks.

Better yet, Digexin® users who had occasionally struggled to stay regular, were able to sustain a more regular and normal bowel movement frequency while taking Digexin® daily over the 60-day period.

On top of this, Digexin® also helps to soothe and lubricate the lining of the intestines and digestive tract (called the epithelial lining), which helps to hydrate stools for more comfortable and complete evacuation.

In addition, research with Digexin® found that users can experience less abdominal discomfort including less bloating, burping, cramping and gas.

Perhaps resulting from food moving faster through the system, there was also less gastric acid (gastrin) secreted by Digexin® users, who also reported less symptoms associated with occasional heartburn and indigestion.

It is believed Digexin® also can help support intestinal barrier function. This is the semipermeable barrier along the lining of the digestive tract that allows the absorption of nutrients, while limiting the transport of harmful microorganisms into the body.

Maintaining the function and integrity of this barrier is believed to be important for healthy aging.  When potentially harmful substances can more easily pass through this barrier (sometimes called “leaky gut”), it can lead to a broad range of health problems.

Digexin® users experienced improvements in two measures of intestinal barrier health. The first is zonulin, a protein that increases the permeability of the tight junctions between cells in the protective intestinal barrier.

The other is an enzyme called DAO (diamine oxidase), which works to help keep histamine levels in a healthy range.

At same time that Digexin® is working on digestive health, it’s also working along the “gut-brain axis.”  This refers to the two-way communication between the gut and central nervous system that links the brain and the digestive tract.  If you help the gut, you can help the mind and how you feel, and vice versa.

Digexin® helps to promote healthy levels of serotonin (feel good neurotransmitter) and cortisol (stress hormone). This helps reduce perceived stress and the ability to cope with everyday stressors.  In addition, use of Digexin® was able to support more positive moods and overall feelings of well-being.  Plus, Digexin® users reported better sleep quality, on average, and were able to fall asleep faster.

A summary of how Digexin® may help you is provided below:

• Helps relieve occasional indigestion, heartburn, bloating, cramping, burping and gas.
• Helps support regular bowel movements.
• Helps promote gentle evacuation.
• Helps support nutrient absorption.
• Helps support function of the protective intestinal barrier.
• Helps reduce perceived stress and ability to cope with everyday stressors.
• Helps support a positive mood and overall well-being.
• Helps promote the onset of sleep and support a more restful night of sleep.
• Helps promote a more positive feedback loop between the gut and brain, which supports better health.

GutGard® is a proprietary extract of Glycyrrhiza glabra, commonly known as licorice, a spice used as the basis for the candy of the same name. For centuries, the licorice spice has been used in Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine to help with digestion problems, and it was also used by the Egyptians and Romans.

Modern research has shown that high potency GutGard® offers a wide range of digestive health benefits.

Published research studies have found taking 150mg of GutGard® daily can help with occasional indigestion and heartburn caused by meals, abdominal fullness and discomfort, belching, bloating and gas. It also helps support intestinal health and regular bowel movements.

It is superior to most of the generic licorice ingredients used in supplements because it contains over 10% of the key flavonoid polyphenol nutrients crucial to supporting digestive health.

When taking supplements made from Glycyrrhiza glabra, you want to make sure that excess amounts of a compound called glycyrrhizin have been removed. Excess consumption of glycyrrhizin can elevate blood pressure and lower potassium levels. This is not a concern with Gutgard®.

What makes Gutgard® unique is its acid-free extraction process that results in very low levels of glycyrrhizin (less than 0.5%) yet offers a very high amount of 50 licorice flavonoids (at least 10% of the extract in total) that help support digestive health.  Many other licorice extracts contain very little of these flavonoids, which is why they don’t work as well as Gutgard®.

One of the key causes of digestive challenges and discomfort is delayed emptying of the stomach and gastrointestinal tract of the stomach after meals.  GutGard® helps support normal food transit times and movement through the stomach and intestines, which results in greater stomach comfort and healthier bowel movements.

In addition, the antioxidant properties of GutGard® help promote a healthy inflammation response in the gut for greater comfort and function. On top of this, GutGard® helps support the integrity of the protective intestinal barrier, reducing concerns about “leaky gut.”

GutGard® works well when combined with probiotics and digestive enzymes making it perfect to include in TrueDYB.  In addition, GutGard® has been found to be very safe and well-tolerated when used as directed.  A summary of how GutGard® may help you is provided below:

• Helps occasional indigestion and heartburn.
• Helps relieve occasional gas and belching.
• Helps upper abdominal discomfort, feelings of fullness and bloating.
• Helps promote better intestinal barrier function and gut immunity.
• Helps promote regular, healthy bowel movements.
• Helps support healthy digestion and normal food transit time.
• Helps support healthy gut function and microbiome balance.

DigeZyme® is a blend of five digestive enzymes that can help you digest protein, fat, starch, cellulose (from plants) and lactose (from dairy).

When taken before a meal, DigeZyme® helps your body break down nutrients into their simplest forms so they can be absorbed into your bloodstream and used for energy and overall health and well-being.

In addition to supporting nutrient absorption, DigeZyme® was included in TrueDYB because research suggests it can help with stomach comfort.  Specifically, a 60-day study found that daily usage of DigeZyme® may help provide relief from occasional indigestion, heartburn, belching, gas and bloating caused by food.

DigeZyme® is plant-based and vegan friendly. In addition, DigeZyme® is Non-GMO Project Verified and gluten free also.

The five enzymes and their source materials are as follows: alpha-amylase (Aspergillus orazae), protease (Bacillus subtilis), lactase (Aspergillus orazae), lipase (Rhizopus orazae) and cellulase (Trichoderma longibrachiatum).  DigeZyme® has been found to be safe and well-tolerated.

TrueDYB includes 6 different nutrient dense USDA certified organic greens to complete the formula.

These whole food grasses and vegetables are organic barley grass (250mg per serving), organic alfalfa (250mg per serving), organic oat grass (250mg per serving), organic spinach leaf (100mg), organic kale leaf (100mg) and organic broccoli (100mg).

These organic greens are sustainably grown and harvested at their nutritional peak in North America and tested, dried, milled and blended all in the same facility in Colorado.

These organic grasses and vegetables can help support digestive and overall health in several ways.  First, they help promote a healthy gut microbiome and help nourish beneficial gut bacteria.

Second these organic greens are rich in polyphenols and flavonoids that have antioxidant properties and helps support the health of the intestinal lining. This helps optimize nutrient absorption and keep unwanted substances from being absorbed into the body.

These polyphenols also help support a healthy inflammation response in the gut, and protect against oxidative stress. Further, these greens naturally provide chlorophyll, which may help support the body and liver’s natural detoxification process.

Finally, many of these greens are believed to have an alkalizing effect in the body, which helps the body counteract acidity and maintain its normal pH level.
