So that the intestine remains your guardian angel

The body's immune system depends on a healthy intestine. Around 80 percent of our entire immune system is located in the intestines. Our intestines not only take care of digestion, but also serve as the largest protective barrier to the outside world. It acts as a barrier and protects the body from the penetration of harmful germs and unhealthy food components. A large number of different bacteria are located in the intestine, especially in the large intestine, which together represent the natural intestinal flora, also known as the microbiome. A balanced intestinal flora and a well-functioning intestinal barrier are vital for our body. However, stress, hectic pace, unbalanced diet, lack of exercise and medication can weaken our intestinal immune system. In order to strengthen our immune system in the long term, the balance of the intestinal flora and the protective intestinal barrier must be maintained.

General questions about supplements:

Many people question the effectiveness of dietary supplements. We asked our nutritionist: inside the following questions.

What are dietary supplements and what is special about AgilNature dietary supplements?

From a legal perspective, nutritional supplements are considered foods. They contain nutrients such as vitamins and minerals that are also found in normal foods. However, in dietary supplements these substances are present in concentrated form and usually in higher dosages. Dietary supplements are offered in various dosage forms. There are tablets, capsules, powders, effervescent tablets or even liquids. Plant extracts can also be found in some dietary supplements.

The AgilNature dietary supplements are developed in collaboration with nutritionists. The valuable formulations usually consist of a mineral and vitamin complex combined with plant extracts and are specifically tailored to their functions. The formulation combines the latest scientific findings with tried and tested ancient wisdom. The carefully selected ingredients make AgilNature products a valuable nutritional supplement. The AgilNature nutritional supplements are high-quality products that are developed and manufactured according to the strict guidelines of the AgilNature quality promise. By avoiding known allergens, chemical additives and genetically modified substances, a high level of tolerability is ensured. Out of ethical conviction, we avoid all animal raw materials. ProtectAgil is 100% vegan!

In our NEMs, we use the power of nature in addition to the vitamin and mineral complexes in order to be able to contribute holistically to maintaining health. Unfortunately, there is very strict regulation of the marketing of dietary supplements in the EU. We are therefore hardly allowed to advertise the effects of certain plant substances. However, that doesn't mean they can't work. If you want to find out more about the effects of plant substances, then educate yourself. You will be surprised at the power the plants have!

Why does my body need additional micronutrients?

Unfortunately, many people today do not have sufficient micronutrient stores. This is mainly due to our lifestyle. Diet plays a big role here. Our food currently often contains too much sugar and light flours as well as too much unhealthy fat and too little fiber and plant-based food sources. If you want to replenish your nutrient stores, pay attention to a balanced and varied diet. But nutritional supplements can also help you fill your reserves.

How do I recognize a micronutrient deficiency?

Recognizing a micronutrient deficiency is often not that easy. The body usually signals a deficiency with non-specific symptoms such as listlessness, fatigue or reduced stress tolerance. However, if massive deficiencies occur, these can manifest themselves in deficiency-related illnesses. However, if you suspect this is the case for you, you should see a doctor.

However, most micronutrient deficiencies are not that severe. To illustrate this, you can compare people to gears that mesh with each other and influence each other. If some of the gears are already a little worn, the system no longer runs smoothly. If some of your micronutrient stores are no longer full, this has an impact on other processes in your body. So it makes sense to always keep your storage well filled. This can be achieved with a balanced and varied diet and possibly additional nutritional supplements. A simple way to determine your micronutrient needs is to ask your doctor for an analysis of your micronutrient status.

Are there risks and side effects with dietary supplements? And what's wrong with the criticism of dietary supplements?

Dietary supplements are repeatedly criticized for leading to overdose. Yes, dietary supplements can contain vitamins or minerals in higher concentrations than you would consume with a normal diet. However, this does not immediately pose a risk of overdose. Many people actually have too few micronutrients in their stores.

Our body also has numerous sophisticated regulatory mechanisms, so that in many cases it only gets the nutrients from food that it really needs. However, it makes sense to have a blood analysis done by your family doctor before taking very highly concentrated dietary supplements in order to get an overview of your own stores so that you can then make a personalized selection of possible dietary supplements.

Sometimes dietary supplements are criticized for possibly being contaminated. However, our AgilNature quality promise guarantees dietary supplements that are free of known allergens, chemical additives and genetically modified substances. This means we can guarantee a high level of tolerability.

However, dietary supplements are not a replacement for a balanced and varied diet. Simply consuming nutritional supplements is often not enough to do your body any good. If you want to get to the root of the reasons for your micronutrient deficiencies, you should start where you get most of your nutrients from: your diet. It's best to eat a varied diet that contains many different types of fruit and vegetables, some whole grain products and few processed products and sweets. If you find this difficult, you can always get advice from various nutritionists.

Why would we recommend taking nutritional supplements?

Dietary supplements are repeatedly criticized. But there are also a lot of people who never want to do without nutritional supplements again. Now who is right?

Unfortunately, this question cannot be answered clearly, but in the following lines we would like to give you a few reasons why we believe that consuming nutritional supplements can make sense.

Dietary supplements can help you replenish certain nutrient deficiencies more quickly than simply changing your diet. Nevertheless, it makes sense to adapt your diet in parallel to consuming dietary supplements, because dietary supplements are not a replacement for a balanced and varied diet.
The AgilNature nutritional supplements are also specially formulated to provide you with the best possible combination of minerals, vitamins and selected plant extracts for a specific goal.
Do you eat vegan? Of course we're happy about that because you're protecting the animals and our environment, but you should also definitely supplement with vitamin B12. Unfortunately, vitamin B12 can only be found in foods of animal origin and cannot be produced by the body itself. It is therefore essential for you to take vitamin B12 as a dietary supplement or in fortified foods. Attention: Vegetarians also often have a vitamin B12 level that is too low despite consuming milk and milk products as well as eggs. It is therefore advisable for both vegans and vegetarians to have their vitamin B12 status and other critical micronutrients such as iron checked regularly by their family doctor.
Do you have a growing desire to have children, but you don't want to do anything wrong when it comes to nutrition? Here you should pay particular attention to sufficient intake or supplementation of folic acid, not only when you are already pregnant, but also when you plan to become pregnant. However, we recommend that you find out more about this. You can do this either with your gynecologist or, better yet, with a nutritionist.
You probably already knew that the body can synthesize vitamin D independently through the skin. But do you also know that in winter, due to the position of the sun, especially in our latitudes, it is almost impossible to get enough sun to adequately produce vitamin D? Here, too, we strongly recommend that you have your vitamin D status checked by your family doctor and, if necessary, supplement with vitamin D.

Lactospore®

The patented probiotic culture Lactospore® contained in ProtectAgil has been examined in more than 72 studies. As live, intestinal-friendly lactic acid bacteria, probiotics are among the “good” intestinal bacteria that settle in the intestine. As “good” intestinal bacteria, they cover the intestinal mucosa and the intestinal wall like a dense lawn and make it difficult for unwanted substances to penetrate. They therefore perform an important protective barrier function. Lactospore® consists of Bacillus coagulans, which is a probiotic bacteria. Lactospore® is stable at room temperature. Other non-patented probiotics generally are not, so they will not survive long once stored outside the refrigerator or freezer. Lactospore® is encapsulated so that the probiotic survives the gastrointestinal passage better and is generally more stable. Clinical studies have shown that it successfully colonizes the intestines.

Vitamin B2

Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) helps protect cells from oxidative stress. It is also important for maintaining normal mucous membranes.

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is important for the immune system and contributes to the normal function of the immune system.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is important for the immune system and contributes to the normal function of the immune system.

Biotin

Biotin is important for maintaining the health of mucous membranes. A healthy intestinal mucosa serves as a protective barrier for our body.

Selenium

Selenium contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system.

Black Pepper Extract

Pepper extract is included in each of our products to ensure high bioavailability. For this we use the branded raw material Bioperine®. If you want to learn more about black pepper extract then click learn more below.

Acacia fiber

Acacia fiber is one of the prebiotic, water-soluble fibers. They serve as food for bifido bacteria. The metabolism of acacia fibers has a positive effect on the intestinal flora. During metabolism, short-chain fatty acids are formed, which leads to a lowering of the pH value in the large intestine.

Who would benefit from using ProtectAgil?

Would you like to support your intestinal flora after taking an antibiotic? Then taking probiotics and prebiotics is a good decision. Do you have a lot of stress, barely manage to get enough exercise in everyday life and do you always miss out on a balanced diet? Then it may be that stabilization is good for your intestines. Do you feel like your immune system is weakened? You can strengthen your immune system with B vitamins and copper.

Optimizing intestinal health in two phases: SynbioticAgil followed by ProtectAgil

For comprehensive and long-term support of your intestinal health, we also recommend using ProtectAgil after taking SynbioticAgil. This two-phase approach enables comprehensive support of intestinal health by first creating a strong foundation with SynbioticAgil and then providing long-term care and optimization of the intestinal microbiome with ProtectAgil.

1st phase: SynbioticAgil the 10 day bacteria treatment

Goal: Establishment and strengthening of the intestinal flora.

Effect: SynbioticAgil combines probiotics and prebiotics (synbiotic), which helps to quickly improve the balance of intestinal bacteria. The probiotics settle in the intestine and support the microbiome, while the prebiotics promote the growth of these beneficial bacteria.

Benefits: This first phase aims to stabilize the intestinal flora and create the basis for a healthy intestinal environment.

2nd phase: ProtectAgil as a constant companion in everyday life

Goal: Long-term support and maintenance of intestinal health.

Effect: ProtectAgil contains acacia fiber and Bacillus coagulans (Lactospore®), which further support and promote intestinal function. The acacia fiber serves as an additional source of nutrition for the good bacteria. Bacillus coagulans is a probiotic strain that helps maintain a healthy microbiome.

Benefits: This second phase helps consolidate the positive effects of the first phase and provides additional support for intestinal health.

Good to know:

Proper intake of probiotics

Taking probiotics in the morning on an empty stomach is most effective because the probiotic bacteria pass through the stomach so quickly and have less contact with stomach acid and digestive enzymes. It is reported that about 90 percent of the bacteria reach the intestines within 30 minutes with this ingestion method. In addition, the pH value of the stomach varies throughout the day: it is less acidic in the morning before breakfast, during meals and in the evening before sleep, and more acidic after meals. If probiotics are taken with meals, these meals should be low in fat (about 1 percent fat), but not too high in fat or protein, as such foods cause increased secretion of stomach acid and digestive enzymes, which attack the probiotic bacteria and reduce their numbers can. A 2011 study confirmed these findings. She examined different intake times and found that most probiotic strains arrived in the intestine undamaged when taken either shortly before meals (up to 30 minutes before) or directly during meals. The least amount of probiotic bacteria reached the intestines was when taken half an hour after meals.

How exactly does ProtectAgil work?

ProtectAgil supports the body's own defenses. B vitamins strengthen your immune system. Biotin is important for a healthy intestinal lining. A healthy intestinal flora strengthens the immune system. Probiotics have a positive effect on our intestinal flora. Probiotics are living microorganisms that occur naturally in the intestines. But they can also be absorbed through food and, for example, dietary supplements. Since the intestinal flora is crucial for our immune system, probiotics can stabilize our immune system. Prebiotics are also important when it comes to intestinal health and harmonious intestinal flora. Prebiotics are indigestible fiber that serves as a food source for the bacteria in the large intestine. They support the growth of your own intestinal flora and thus promote the intestinal colonization of health-promoting bacteria.

How do I know that my intestinal flora is not in balance?

If the composition of the microbiome is no longer in balance, this can become noticeable through various symptoms: Digestive problems such as flatulence, diarrhea or constipation, but also abdominal pain and nausea can be caused by a disturbed intestinal flora. For example, taking an antibiotic may have thrown your intestinal flora out of balance.

What should I pay attention to while taking ProtectAgil?

There are no things you should avoid when taking ProtectAgil. In general, however, it is advisable to adjust your diet while taking ProtectAgil. Take a look at the section “Should I change my diet at the same time?” However, it is important that the specified consumption amount should not be exceeded. The AgilNature products also contain piperine. There are a few tips to keep in mind: Notes on BioPerine

Should I change my diet at the same time?

Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet or a healthy lifestyle. In general, it is always advisable to eat a balanced and varied diet. You can also influence your intestinal flora through your diet. Would you like to consciously support your body through your diet in strengthening your immune system in the intestines? Then we have a few tips for you here: Consume foods such as meat, highly processed and sugary foods sparingly. Alcohol also promotes the growth of bacteria that can put strain on our intestines. However, your intestines will be happy about a variety of vegetables and fruits. Fiber in particular has a positive effect on your intestinal flora. An intake of at least 30 g per day is recommended. Foods containing fiber include legumes, whole grains, but also various vegetables. Fiber serves as food for the intestinal bacteria and thus promotes growth. Lactic fermented foods contain probiotics. You can also do something good for your intestines and therefore your immune system with yogurt, kefir and also sauerkraut.
