7 Reasons More Adults Over 50 Are Looking at Their Gut When the Numbers Keep Climbing
Blood pressure, cholesterol, energy that falls off by 3 PM. Here is what the research says is worth knowing about the gut.
Nine bottles. One place nobody checked.
The number goes up. The dose goes up. A new bottle gets added.
For a lot of adults, blood pressure, cholesterol and sleep each get their own prescription, and the side effects get one too. Managing the numbers matters, and your doctor's plan comes first. But the same checkup rarely asks about the gut.
Your gut talks to your brain and your heart through the vagus nerve.
The vagus nerve is the long nerve that runs from the gut up to the brain and on down to the heart. A review in Gastroenterology describes how it carries signals that help regulate appetite, mood and the immune system.

People with higher blood pressure had less diverse gut bacteria.
In a 2017 study in Microbiome, researchers compared 41 healthy adults, 56 with pre-hypertension and 99 with hypertension, and found reduced richness and diversity of gut bacteria in the groups with higher blood pressure. It doesn't prove the gut is the cause. It does show the gut belongs in the conversation.

Gut bacteria and the heart: a link worth knowing about.
A 2013 paper in the New England Journal of Medicine found that higher blood levels of TMAO, a compound made when gut bacteria break down certain nutrients, were associated with a higher risk of major cardiovascular events.

Standard capsules use fragile strains.
Stomach acid is harsh. Many standard probiotic strains are not built to survive it. Bacillus coagulans is a spore former: it travels through the stomach protected, then wakes up in the gut. That is the kind of probiotic in Manna.
Raw honey, spore probiotic, slippery elm and L-glutamine.
Four simple things in one sachet. Supports a healthy gut and gut-brain axis. It tastes like honey, because it is honey.
