Soluble fiber helps slow the rate of digestion, promoting digestive health and nutrient absorption. It also absorbs water and adds bulk to the digestive tract to support weight management as part of a healthy lifestyle that includes a low-calorie diet and regular exercise. Research has shown that the high molecular weight and viscosity of glucomannan are particularly conducive to these effects. In an eight-week double-blind trial, glucomannan provided statistically significant support for weight management when combined with a healthy lifestyle. Fiber also promotes gastrointestinal motility and regularity, promoting healthy, softer stools by adding bulk. Studies on glucomannan indicate that this fiber promotes abdominal comfort, gastrointestinal motility, and stool regularity, and is well tolerated. Additionally, xylooligosaccharides and soluble fiber are fermented in the large intestine by the intestinal microflora, producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). SCFAs are important energy sources for the colon and can promote healthy gastrointestinal motility. Furthermore, SCFAs maintain the acidity of the intestinal environment, creating optimal conditions for the growth of beneficial bacteria. Clinical research has shown that PreticX™ is well tolerated and less likely to cause common gastrointestinal disturbances associated with other oligosaccharides, such as bloating or gas.\n","brand":"Pure Encapsulations","offers":[{"title":"346g","offer_id":41631120261291,"sku":"purelean-fibre-pure-encapsulations-346g","price":50.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2993\/1664\/products\/plfx3c_1.jpg?v=1749236037"},{"product_id":"cyto-fibre-powder","title":"Cyto Fiber - Powder","description":"Highly tolerable with minimal flatulence, bloating, and abdominal cramping according to digestive tolerance studies.\nDemonstrated to increase the number of beneficial bacteria, encourage the production of short-chain fatty acids, improve inflammatory cytokine profiles, and support intestinal permeability.\nCertified organic, non-GMO, and FODMAP-free.\n\nPrebiotic fiber shapes the health of our microbiota and is essential for promoting many healthy digestive processes, including bowel regularity, stool volume, and transit time. However, the implications of fiber intake extend far beyond the digestive tract. Increased fiber intake helps improve satiety, promote healthy cholesterol levels, and regulate blood sugar. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the Canadian population is deficient in dietary fiber, meaning supplementation can play a valuable role.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContrary to the significant benefit of increased fiber intake, some supplemental fibers can be poorly tolerated and cause numerous digestive disturbances. For example, high doses of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) or psyllium fiber can cause bloating, flatulence, and abdominal cramps when fermented by the gut microbiota. This leads many patients and practitioners to avoid their use altogether. However, there are better options because not all prebiotic fibers cause digestive discomfort.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFibregum is an example of an extremely well-tolerated prebiotic fiber that causes minimal gas and bloating when supplemented, even at high doses of up to 30 grams per day.

Additionally, Fibregum has been shown to significantly increase the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs, including butyrate), positively influence pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine profiles in the colon, and support healthy intestinal permeability.

Several factors influence these processes, but perhaps the two most important are amino acid availability and exercise, or lack thereof.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMuscle serves many important physiological functions beyond supporting physical movement, including metabolism and energy storage. Loss of lean muscle mass can be a predictor of health outcomes and is strongly associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis, falls, and fractures, and an overall increased risk of mortality. With all this in mind, it is essential to preserve muscle mass and prevent muscle loss with age.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMuscle Matrix includes a proprietary blend of arginine and all nine essential amino acids (EAAs). EAAs are unique compared to other amino acids in that the human body cannot synthesize them and therefore must be consumed through food. An adequate amount of EAAs in a specific ratio is necessary to match or exceed the rate of protein synthesis relative to the rate of protein breakdown. Conversely, if the body does not receive sufficient EAAs, it must scavenge for essential elements from the blood, muscles, or organs. Studies confirm that supplementing with an appropriate EAA blend can provide a net positive muscle balance both in a rested state and, to a greater extent, when combined with exercise.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe patented amino acid blend contained in Muscle Matrix is ​​known as Reginator®, and it is backed by decades of clinical research to support its effectiveness in building and maintaining muscle mass. Research supports the ability of this specialized, low-dose amino acid blend to help increase muscle synthesis by twice the capacity of whey protein (often referred to as the gold standard for muscle anabolism). This application is certainly intriguing in the physical performance and athletic arena, but Reginator® also has strong application in the medical context. Reginator® has been shown to prevent and reverse muscle loss in bedridden individuals. Specifically, patients recovering from hip or knee surgery showed an 800% increase in strength, as measured by maximum voluntary contraction, after 8 weeks of supplementation, compared to patients who were bedridden alone. This improvement in strength only increased when exercise was added to the therapeutic intervention.\u003cbr\u003e\nOutside of surgical recovery and physical performance, Muscle Matrix may even be beneficial in the context of a healthy aging population. It is well known that older adults consume less food, likely due to a combination of factors such as a decreased metabolic rate, a decreased sense of taste and smell, increased satiety, changes in digestive enzymes, and cognitive impairment. This is compounded by the fact that older adults have a 28% reduced ability to synthesize protein, and skeletal muscle begins to naturally decline as early as age 45. All of this is to say that older adults are an ideal target population for amino acid supplementation, as Reginator® maintains muscle strength even in the absence of exercise.","brand":"Cyto-Matrix","offers":[{"title":"162g","offer_id":42759619707051,"sku":"muscle-matrix-cyto-matrix-ananas-162g","price":75.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2993\/1664\/files\/Muscle-Matrix-Pineapple-Punch-cyto-matrix-162g.png?v=1749235056"},{"product_id":"multi-matrix-poudre-bleuet","title":"Multi Matrix - Powder - Blueberry","description":"\nContains a well-balanced blend of essential vitamins and minerals and is indicated to support mood balance, energy levels, and stress management.\nVitamins are provided in their active and highly bioavailable forms, such as mixed tocopherols, pyridoxal-5-phosphate, and methylcobalamin.\nIncludes vegan vitamin D3 sourced from organic lichen.\nMinerals are delivered as amino acid chelates to effectively stabilize them, protect them from digestive processes, and deliver them to absorption sites along the gastrointestinal tract.\nContains gum fiber, a soluble prebiotic fiber from acacia gum, which is highly tolerable for the digestive tract and has been shown to increase the number of beneficial bacteria, encourage the production of short-chain fatty acids, improve inflammatory cytokine profiles, and support intestinal permeability without affecting the absorption of mineral chelates.\nDelivered in a Delicious natural blueberry powder for ease of use\n100% vegan and gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and non-GMO\nEach bottle provides 25 servings\n\nVitamins and minerals provide body structure, cellular energy, vital organ protection, and fuel for physiological processes.

However, multivitamin supplements are unfairly categorized as a single entity, without recognizing the enormous differences in quality and dosage between formulations. In particular, different forms of vitamins and minerals can significantly affect nutrient absorption rates from the digestive tract. For example, B vitamins must first be converted to their active forms before being used in the body. If vitamin B6 is supplemented in the form of pyridoxine hydrochloride, the liver must first convert it to pyridoxal-5-phosphate before it can be effectively used in physiological processes. The same principle applies to riboflavin, folic acid, vitamin B12, and other vitamins.
