Plexus Puts the Gut Microbiome First

Gut health has become a prominent area of scientific research and a focus of the wellness industry. Consumers have flocked to products to improve gut health but often have trouble wading through the myriad of brands in the market. One company that has made its focus is Plexus Worldwide.

While Plexus offers a diverse range of products that target weight loss, energy, cognition, sports nutrition, and immune health, its philosophy is firmly grounded in the gut, specifically increasing beneficial microbes for overall health. 

The Plexus Gut Microbiome Core

Plexus Worldwide’s key player in gut health is TriPlex, a three-product system that was developed around the brand’s Weed, Seed, and Feed approach. The first product, BioCleanse helps to cleanse the gastrointestinal tract and reduce harmful microbes.

The second, ProBio5, delivers 2 billion CFU of probiotics to increase beneficial microbes. Last up, Plexus Slim Microbiome Activating contains a clinically studied prebiotic fiber, XOS, to increase Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, while helping to support cardiovascular health and healthy glucose metabolism. Added bonus it’s clinically demonstrated to help you lose weight. Let’s take a look at the Plexus three-prong approach to gut health.

Weed It Out

Just like a perfectly landscaped lawn can rapidly become overgrown with weeds, the gut landscape can shift from balanced to swarming with harmful microbes. Research has shown that bioflavonoids are extensively metabolized by the gut microbiota after consumption.

A 2020 study featured in Current Opinion in Biotechnology speculated that flavonoids may positively “shape the gut microbiota but inhibiting pathogens and boosting beneficial bacteria.” Look for a product that contains bioflavonoids such as Plexus BioCleanse, which is formulated with a blend of hesperidin, orange peel powder, lemon peel powder, and quince fruit powder.

Plant the Seeds for Gut Health

Having a balanced gut is essential to a healthy lifestyle. Beneficial microbes play an important role in the health of the brain, heart, kidneys, and immune system. A poor diet, including one that is high in processed foods, can substantially reduce good bacteria, affecting digestion, mood, and energy levels, as well as increase weight gain.

A 2013 study in Therapeutic Advances in Gastroenterology cited that “probiotics may restore the composition of the gut microbiome and introduce beneficial functions to gut microbial communities, resulting in amelioration or prevention of gut inflammation and other intestinal or conditions.”

While probiotic supplements have become part of the mainstream consciousness, there’s a lot of information to take in. Choose a product that is high is good microbes to provide a strong foundation for a balanced gut. Plexus ProBio 5 is a top choice. It contains five beneficial probiotics including Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium longum, Lactobacillus plantarum, Bacillus coagulans, and Saccharomyces boulardii, and pairs it with an enzyme blend to support digestion.

Feed the Good Guys

Once you’re taking probiotics, you need to nourish the good bacteria that you’ve added and allow them to flourish. Beneficial microbes feed on prebiotic fiber, which is found in foods such as chicory root, onions, leeks, apples, bananas, and dandelion greens.

Not only are these foods rich in prebiotics but they are excellent for overall health. When selecting a prebiotic supplement, you want a product that is truly supportive of the gut. Plexus Worldwide’s Slim Microbiome Activating contains xylooligosaccharides, or XOS, which have been clinically demonstrated to be an excellent nutrient substrate for good bacteria.

Plexus Slim also contains green coffee bean extract, which supports healthy glucose metabolism, and chromium picolinate, which assists with the transportation of glucose into cells. Plexus Slim Microbiome Activating goes the extra mile by not only improving gut health but by supporting weight loss – it’s clinically proven to help you lose weight.

Choose Complementary Supplements that Support the Gut

Plexus Worldwide offers an assortment of other products, many of which support gut health. Plexus Lean, for example, is a protein meal replacement that not only provides essential vitamins but contains polydextrose, a prebiotic fiber that is also effective in reducing caloric intake.

Another top choice is Plexus Greens, which is chock full of fermented fruits and vegetables and is designed to support gut health. And the newest addition to Plexus Worldwide’s roster is Reset, a three-day supported fast that helps you lose weight while supporting the immune system and delivering a healthy dose of prebiotic fiber.

Play the Long Game

Gut health isn’t a quick fix but a journey. Choosing probiotic and prebiotic-rich foods, maintaining a healthy weight, and choosing healthy lifestyle options are all essential to keeping your gut in balance. Working with products like Plexus supplements are a powerful way to support the process.

A system like TriPlex and a weed, seed, and feed approach will improve good microbes, helping to reduce stress, promote weight loss, and bolster overall well-being.
