This new strain is hitting the gut harder, causing nausea, indigestion and diarrhoea. Maintaining gut health is crucial not only to ease these symptoms but to supercharge your immunity, thwart the virus sooner and prevent the dreaded long covid syndrome.
What lifestyle and nutritional research has taught us:
What we learnt from The National Nutritional Intervention Study:
This was the largest double blind randomised nutritional intervention study in the World involving patients with symptomatic covid (published 2023). It evaluated the impact of specifically created nutritional supplements:
-
A lactobacillus probiotic blend with vitamin D and inulin - YourgutPlus+
-
A Phytochemical rich, prebiotic complex - Phyto-V
These were designed to improve gut health, reduce excess inflammation, enhance oxidative defence and have direct antiviral properties. A analysis of the results showed:
- People with weakened gut health had worse whole body symptoms
- People with gut symptoms - more likely to be hospitalised
- People with gut symptoms - more likely to develop long covid
- Yourgutplus significantly shortened short and long covid symptoms
- The addition of Phyto-V improved wellbeing a further 3 fold
