In recent years, there has been an influx of studies looking at different bacterias and how they can impact our health, either in a negative way or a positive way. The microbiome is basically this environment for or community of these microbes or bacteria that live within the human body. This is located predominantly in the intestines. There are hundreds of different strains of bacteria that exist within the individual human microbiome environment.†
The amount and type of bacteria present in the microbiome can vary from one person to the next. There are common bacteria that can be found in all people, but we can sometimes have a lot more of one and not enough of another.†
There are different factors that can impact or disturb the normal homeostasis of the microbiome. This can include how you’re born, dietary patterns, hormones and use of antibiotics.†
The good bacteria located in the microbiome are needed to help maintain our immune system. An imbalance in these bacteria can lead to seasonal allergies, obesity, mood issues and more.†
Since the microbiome is so important to the health of our entire body, it is imperative that we help support and maintain its health. We can help promote the health of our good bacteria by eating a diet that is rich in high-fiber foods, such as the Mediterranean diet. We also want to make sure that we have adequate omega-3 fatty acids.†
We also want to utilize a probiotic supplement. Studies have shown that there are certain bacterial strains that can help promote digestive health, cardiovascular health, skin health, respiratory health and immune health. A good quality probiotic supplement such as our Probiotic HxⓇ offers multiple strains of these good bacteria to help support various systems within the body. This can help to enhance the health of our airways, digestive tract, skin, ears, eyes and more, as each of these have their own unique microbial ecosystems that rely on good bacteria to function properly.†

COLLAGEN LOSS MAY ACCELERATE AGING – INVITE HEALTH PODCAST, EPISODE 226. Listen Now>>
Catalase is a naturally-occurring, endogenous antioxidant. As we age, we begin to lose many of our endogenous antioxidants, so it is important to take measures to help support these levels. This is why taking catalase as a supplement can be very helpful.
When the body experiences oxidative stress, our endogenous antioxidants start to target that, but the levels of these antioxidants don’t bounce back. This is frequently the case with catalase. This antioxidant enzyme helps to fend off oxidative stress by destroying cellular hydrogen peroxide and converting it into water and oxygen.
The body naturally produces hydrogen peroxide and as hydrogen peroxide levels start to take over in the body, we see that end result in our hair. It is bleaching the hair, so your gray hair is coming from the excessive hydrogen peroxide. We know that catalase controls hydrogen peroxide in the body, so if we have a deficiency or a malfunction in catalase, then we know that this can lead to the pathogenesis of gray hair and other age-associated diseases.
