Are prebiotic sodas good for your? The latest trend in the beverage industry: prebiotic sodas. These carbonated drinks, infused with special plant fibers, claim to enhance gut health by nourishing the microorganisms residing in the digestive system. However, among their growing popularity fueled by social media platforms like TikTok, experts remain cautious. Unlike probiotics that contain live microorganisms, prebiotic sodas rely on plant fibers like inulin to promote gut health. With low sugar content and various additional ingredients such as apple cider vinegar and botanicals, these sodas aim to offer a healthier alternative to traditional soft drinks. Studies suggest that inulin, the primary prebiotic fiber in these sodas, may offer benefits such as reducing inflammation and regulating appetite. However, concerns arise regarding the optimal dosage and individual variability in response to these supplements. Despite the marketing hype and consumer interest, the efficacy of prebiotic sodas remains uncertain.

Turning my back on Adderall and Coffee led me to the ultimate focus-enhancing discovery… Growing up with ADHD and not having the best experience with Adderall, I became hyper-obsessed with finding alternative ways to stay focused. The first thing I turned to was coffee and energy drinks, hoping that if I could just chug enough cold brew/energy drink, I could achieve god-like focus. Turns out, that’s actually a pretty awful approach to sustainable focus but a pretty awesome approach for maxed-out anxiety. When I discovered nootropics & functional energy products in college—tools that don’t just delay fatigue (like caffeine) but actually actively enhance energy and focus levels, it was the biggest game changer for my focus since Adderall. Between the de-facto Reddit experts and absolutely yolked podcast gurus, the nootropics space is filled with noise. We’re building Klar Labs to provide clarity amidst the chaos. Our Mission is simple: Create a potent, all-natural focus aid driven by research-backed nootropics. We took some of the most effective nootropics on the market, combined them with the familiar and synergistic effects of natural caffeine, and finished it off with a robust electrolyte blend to target hydration—a critical but often neglected factor in energy levels. Iterating a streamlined nootropics solution is about determining exactly what you need. In the process, we’ve left no room for anything you don’t. Here’s a quick glance behind the curtain: 🌱 150 MG Natural Caffeine ⚡️ L-Theanine, Alpha-GPC, L-Tyrosine, Taurine, B Vitamins, Rhodiola Rosea 💧 Himalayan Salt, Sea Salt, Potassium Chloride 🍊 Sweetened with Stevia, Naturally Flavored All Natural, Vegan, Gluten Free, Keto Friendly Pre-order here: https://lnkd.in/geHuiQbq

Not only are pickles good for gut bacteria, but the fermentation process unlocks more nutrients by partially digesting the pickle – this allows your body to absorb more nutrition with less physical effort on your part, Research suggests that regularly including fermented foods in your diet can help diversify the healthy bacteria in your gut. Lacto-Fermented Pickles: Each pickle contains 1.3 billion CFU = about 0.05 of a capsule. Probiotic Kefir: 2.5 billion CFU -= about 1/10th of a capsule. #probiotic #pickles #CFU #lactobacillus #fermentedpickles #sandwich #relish #gut

Consider adding yogurt, kimchi, pickles, Kefir and other fermented foods to your diet! Fermented foods contain #probiotics (microorganisms like bacteria or yeast) that help the balance of the gut microbiota by inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria in your gut. For many people, these foods can help with digestive issues like bloating and diarrhea. Fermentation breaks down nutrients, making them easier to digest. #IBS #GutHealth #DGBI #GI

When it comes to managing IBS through dietary changes, sometimes it's easier to add things than subtract. As Dr. Drossman explains, yogurt, Kefir, kimchi, pickles and other fermented foods are all great adds, and can help with symptoms of bloating and diarrhea. #IBS #DGBI #Probiotics
