Who is OMNi-LOGiC® APPLE PECTIN suitable for?

Unsere Darmbakterien haben zahlreiche Aufgaben, unter anderem auch die Nahrungsverwertung. All our intestinal bacteria have in common that they can be divided into two large groups, the so-called Bacteroidetes and the Firmicutes. In a healthy intestinal flora, these two groups are present in an optimal ratio of 1:1 to each other, which means that there are roughly equal numbers of both bacteria in the intestine. In overweight people, however, it often happens that the intestinal flora is out of balance and the bacterial group of the Firmicutes strongly predominates. The ratio can be shifted up to 2,000 : 1. The intestine then contains 2,000 times more Firmicutes than Bacteroidetes! Firmicutes have the special property that they can break down food components that are actually indigestible for humans (namely the so-called dietary fibres and complex carbohydrates). This creates many easily digestible carbohydrates in the intestine - many more than in an intestine with an optimal bacteria ratio - which are absorbed in addition to the calories eaten. This "hidden" intake can easily add up to 200 calories more - every day! In addition, the shift in bacterial ratios - towards the Firmicutes - can take on a life of its own: The more carbohydrates (e.g. sugar, pasta, etc.) are eaten, the more comfortable the Firmicutes feel and the better they can multiply in the intestine - a vicious circle has begun!
