Manna Menopause Support and Gut Health Combo

Manna Menopause Support and Gut Health Combo Manna Menopause Support and Gut Health Combo contains: 1 x Manna Menopause Support 60 capsules 1 x Manna Gut Support 60 capsules Manna Menopause Support Manna Menopause Support is a proprietary formula that includes professionally researched, high potency compounds to help alleviate Menopause-related symptoms.This is not a medicine or an HRT (hormone replacement therapy), but an all-natural plant-based dietary supplement that can help the body to manufacture estrogens to counteract the natural menopause cycle and its related symptoms. Active Ingredients Manna Menopause Support Prosopis Mixture (Manna®) (1) Galactomannans help to slow down the absorption of glucose from the food to the bloodstream, thus normalizing blood sugar levels very effectively and keeping you more satisfied after a meal, which means that you will eat less and can lose weight. Also, helps to control cravings successfully. A stabilized blood sugar level means high energy levels. Eucalyptus Extract (Flavonoids and Polyphenols) (2) Antioxidant – Natures super antioxidant, helps to boost the immune system. Polyphenols(3) Helps to overcome the symptoms of Menopause, including hot flushes. It also assists in the prevention and fighting of osteoporosis and breast cancer. Soy Isoflavones– Phyto-estrogen (4) The main components of soy are proteins, soybean oil and carbohydrates. These are healthy components but the soy Isoflavones are responsible for many health benefits. Dried soybeans contain about 200 mg Soy Isoflavones per 100 g soybeans. Maca Root (Peruvian Ginseng) – Phyto-estrogen (5) This so-called “Peruvian Ginseng” is from South America and is rapidly gaining attention in the United States for its success in supporting energy, stamina, libido and with hormone balancing for men and women. Maca is used for menopausal symptoms, menstrual disorders and as an aphrodisiac. It acts as an energizer and anti-stress agent. Calcium lactate – Calcium supplements (6) Calcium Lactate may be administered in low blood calcium levels (Hypocalcaemia), Osteoporosis, and Post-Menopausal Osteoporosis Prevention.

Studies have linked it to preventing heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, cancer, and weight gain. If that seems like a lot of prevention in one little vitamin, it is. The problem, though, is that as many as half of adults are deficient in vitamin D and are therefore not benefiting from it. Manna Menopause Support has enough vitamin D to meet your recommended daily requirements. What is “Phyto-estrogens”? “Phyto-” is a Greek root word meaning “plant.” Estrogen is a female hormone that regulates functions in both women and men. Phytoestrogens, through plant-based, function much like the estrogen in found humans. When we eat phytoestrogens, our bodies may respond as if real estrogen were present. How does Manna Menopause Support work? Manna Menopause Support assists in the improvement of vascular stability. The product provides Phyto-estrogens to act similar as animal estrogen. The other nutrients are for enhanced bone density. The different ingredients work in a synergistic manner to assist in the reduction of the symptoms of pre-menopause and menopause.

Fight Inflammation - Keep Your Gut Healthy

The little organisms in your gut influence how well you respond to infection Your gut health influences your immune system responses. It is in your gut, where your immune system gets into contact with millions of small organisms, like bacteria and toxins. Although the interactions between the organisms in your gut and your immune system are complex, you can help keep inflammation at bay by nourishing the good organisms in your gut. In doing so, you can prevent diseases like obesity, type-2 diabetes and heart disease. What lives in your gut? Your gut is home to thousands of tiny organisms. This community of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microbes is collectively called your gut microbiome. Your gut community is like a big, multiracial, multicultural city. There are, for example, more than 1000 species of bacteria living in your gut. Some gut bacteria can digest food that the human body can’t break down. In the process, these gut bacteria can release chemicals that can be beneficial to your health or harm you. There are helpful bacteria and harmful bacteria. Scientists are fascinated by how your microbiome influences your health. Scientists think that gut bacteria play a role in the development of IBS and IBD. They can also affect your liver and impact inflammation in your body. What’s more fascinating, is that they seem to play a role in mental health (depression and anxiety) and they might contribute to the development of obesity, diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Scientists are only now beginning to link the activities of gut bacteria to inflammation. A healthy gut microbiome tends to include a wide range of different beneficial bacteria which in turn keeps your immune system healthy – preventing chronic inflammation. What is inflammation? When your body activates your immune system to fight infection, inflammation happens. Doctors can detect inflammation by measuring high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and white blood cell count with a blood test. There are two types of inflammation. Acute inflammation Happens when you suddenly get injured. You might cut or bruise yourself and the warmth, swelling and redness around the area are messages directed at the immune sells to come to the rescue and repair the damage. Chronic inflammation Happens when your immune system responds to infection over a long period of time. Chronic inflammation can be very bad for your health as it can lead to conditions like diabetes, obesity and heart disease. It seems like certain gut bacteria can play a role in causing chronic inflammation and the development of these diseases. Yet, interactions between your gut microbiome and your immune system are complex and work in both directions. Inflammation and microbes Your gut health, immune system response and diets seem to be linked. Certain inflammatory bacteria, like Collinsella, seem to thrive in your gut when you eat lots of refined carbohydrates. If you follow a western diet, you probably eat a lot of refined foods. Refined and processed sugars like sucrose (table sugar), high fructose corn syrup and agave syrup are found in many foods. Refined grains have no fibrous and nutritious parts, as they have been removed. Refined grains include white flour, white rice and white bread. When eating a lot of refined carbohydrates, some gut bacteria produce a chemical called lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which causes inflammation when they pass into the blood. This inflammation can become chronic and lead to obesity and type-2 diabetes. In order to ensure that the population of certain bacteria does not grow exponentially, while other bacteria populations grow too slowly, you have to eat a variety of foods. Today’s western diet has a severely limited variety of foods to choose from. Only 12 plants and five animal species are used for 75% of the world’s food supply. If you diversify your diet by including more fibre-rich foods and foods with probiotics, you can diversify your gut bacteria. One study has found that people who ate lots of fibre had a balanced gut diversity. The study also found that participants who ate more fermented foods had a diverse microbiome and the markers of inflammation in their bodies were reduced. What to eat1. Eat prebiotics Eating foods high in fibre will spur the growth of beneficial bacteria. Eat whole foods such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains as well as nuts. You can change your gut flora profile in a few days just by eating lots of fibre. Lots of foods high in fibre contain prebiotics. Prebiotics are like fertilizers that help beneficial bacteria grow. Some examples of food that contain prebiotics are: Apples Artichokes Asparagus Bananas Barley Berries Cocoa Flaxseed Garlic Green vegetables Leeks Legumes (peas and beans) Oats Onions Tomatoes Soybeans Wheat Some products have added prebiotics but you won’t necessarily see the word “prebiotics” on the label. Instead, look for terms like: Galactooligosaccharides Fructooligosaccharides Oligofructose Chicory fiber Inulin 2. Eat probiotics Fermented foods like yogurt, kombucha, kefir and sauerkraut already contain helpful bacteria which can help regulate immune system responses. Learn more about why probiotics work here… Takeaway Your immune system, gut health and diet are linked. If you have a healthy immune system and a diverse microbiome you can avoid the development of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Diet plays an important part in diversifying your microbiome. Eating foods with lots of prebiotics will spur the growth of beneficial bacteria. Foods with probiotics already contain beneficial bacteria that can help regulate immune system responses.

How to Spot and Treat Digestive Problems

Many digestive problems don’t seem to point to poor gut health at first But looking closer, it may start to make more sense… The major role of the digestive system is to break down food and to absorb nutrients from this food into the body. If the gut is damaged, it doesn’t matter how healthy the food or supplements are, the gut will not be able to deliver those nutrients to the rest of the body. That can then lead to digestive problems. Why is gut health so important? The body depends largely on the nutrients it absorbs and assimilates. Over two-thirds of neurotransmitters are made in the gut. The gut is considered the second brain since the majority of serotonin (90% – 95%) is made in the gut, not the brain. If a gut is inflamed or not functioning optimally, the production of serotonin will be impacted and the end result can be depression. Bear in mind that an inflamed gut = an inflamed brain = increased risk of depression and dementia. Poor gut health can be the root cause of most of the current digestive problems. Since the immune system revolves around the gut, poor gut health can manifest in different ailments with horrendous symptoms. What are the symptoms of poor gut health? When the digestive system isn’t working correctly the following symptoms may be present: Bloating, belching, burning, or flatulence after meals Heartburn and acid reflux Bad breath A sense of never-full, binge eating A sense of bloating or fullness after eating Indigestion Diarrhoea Food intolerances (sensitivity to grain and dairy) Constipation Allergic reactions after eating Itchy skin, ears, or rectum Weak or cracked fingernails Dilated capillaries in the cheeks and nose Skin irritations such as perioral dermatitis, acne, rosacea Iron deficiency Chronic yeast infections Fatigue Loss of menstrual cycle or severe PMS Diffuse or localized abdominal pain (contractions, spasms, heartburn, etc.) Changes in digestive transit, such as bouts of constipation or diarrhoea, and sometimes both alternately. There are many different conditions related to the digestive system. Some may not last long and could be symptomatic to other things – such as constipation and diarrhoea. However, some are long-lasting, life-changing and need proper care and support to help manage the condition. What other health conditions are related to poor gut health? Allergies Candida Changes in brain function Coeliac Disease Crohn’s Disease Diarrhoea Fibromyalgia Headaches Gallstones Haemorrhoids (Piles) Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Leaky gut syndrome Skin problems Ulcerative Colitis The transit time of food should be between 24-36 hours from eating to elimination. What causes poor gut health? The culprits that can play a part in damaging the gut health are: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) NSAIDs such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen relieve pain and inflammation by blocking an enzyme called cyclo-oxygenase. The problem is that this enzyme also performs important functions, such as protecting the stomach from the corrosive effects of its own acid, which strengthens the activity of the immune system. Because of this, they can cause intestinal inflammation, damaging the lining of the intestine and causing intestinal permeability. This process can turn on an autoimmune response in the body. Among people who chronically use NSAIDs, research estimates that 65% will develop intestinal inflammation and up to 30% will develop ulcers. Antibiotics Frequent use of antibiotics can decrease the beneficial, protective gut bacteria (good flora). With the body’s natural defenses down, antibiotics are more prone to damage to the gut’s lining. What’s worse is that without some healthy intervention, the body’s unique diversity of trillions of beneficial bacteria won’t automatically be recovered after it’s lost. Stress Chronic stress can weaken the immune system’s response to infection. The brain and intestines are mediated by many of the same hormones (which is why the gut is referred to as the second brain). This connection is referred to as the gut-brain axis. Alcohol Overuse of alcohol has a negative impact on just about every system in the body. As far as the intestines go, alcohol can irritate the stomach and intestines and suppress the hormones which protect against the inflammation that contributes to the leaky gut syndrome. Grains The negative impact of gluten is well documented now, but in a few years research will find a similar, possibly even worse, the negative impact from other gluten-free grains. With their abundance of amylose sugars that cause inflammation, anti-nutrients such as lectins and phytates that bind to the intestines and make nutrients inactive in the body, grains can cause a wide array of damage to the gut and our health. How is poor gut health treated? The diet is the most important factor in getting gut health on par. Remove the bad The goal is to get rid of things that negatively affect the environment of the GI tract such as inflammatory foods, infections and gastric irritants like alcohol, caffeine or medication (if possible). Inflammatory foods such as gluten, dairy, corn, soy, eggs, and sugar can lead to food sensitivities. Follow the Manna 7-day damage control program to get rid of all the “bad” foods. Infections can be from parasites, yeast or bacteria. A comprehensive stool analysis is key to determining the levels of good bacteria as well as any infections that may be present. Removing the infections may require treatment with herbs, anti-parasite medication, anti-fungal medication or even antibiotics. Replace, restore and repair Replace the “bad” food with “good” food, which is beneficial to gut health. Add back in the essential ingredients for proper digestion and absorption that may have been depleted by diet, medication (such as anti-acid medications), diseases or aging. Restore the balance in the gut with the correct digestive enzymes, probiotics, and l-glutamine that are required for proper digestion. Consuming foods high in soluble fibre is very important.

Manna Digestive Health Protocol

You Are Only as Healthy as What You Digest Your digestive system breaks down food and provides nutrients to your body. If your gut is damaged, it doesn’t matter how good your food or supplements are—your body won’t absorb them properly. When the gut is balanced and good bacteria are thriving, it’s in a state of symbiosis. When this balance is off, it's called dysbiosis. Common Causes of Digestive Problems Stress Medications (like antibiotics or birth control pills) Processed foods, sugar, and high-carb diets Food allergies or intolerances Frequent drug use Intestinal infections or parasites These issues can lead to overgrowth of bad bacteria or yeast (candida), impairing digestion and overall health. The Role of Food in Digestive Health The digestive process starts with chewing, then continues in the stomach with acid and enzymes, and finishes in the intestines with the help of healthy bacteria. Poor choices—like eating the wrong foods or not chewing properly—can lead to bloating, gas, constipation, or diarrhoea. How Stress Affects Digestion Chronic stress from food intolerances can trigger inflammation, skin issues, hormonal imbalances, and autoimmune conditions. High cortisol disrupts your entire system, including digestion, sleep, and energy levels. Symptoms of a Poorly Functioning Digestive System Bloating, gas, or belching Feeling overly full or needing to binge eat Digestive discomfort after meals Diarrhoea or constipation Allergic reactions to food Skin issues (itchiness, acne, rosacea) Cracked fingernails Fatigue or low energy Iron deficiency Chronic yeast infections Severe PMS or loss of menstrual cycle Digestive Health Protocol Note: Acid reflux is often caused by low—not high—stomach acid. Antacids may make the problem worse. Try this instead: Drink a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in water before meals to increase stomach acid. Use Manna Collagen to help repair the gut lining. Take Manna Gut Support daily for healthy bacteria and enzymes. Use Manna Blood Sugar Support with meals to regulate glucose and support gut flora. Follow the Manna Diet to cut out refined carbs. Sprinkle flaxseed oil on salads to aid digestion and improve bowel movement. Stick with this protocol for at least 3 months to see results.

What Is Gut Health and Why Is It Important?

When people talk about "gut health," they’re referring to the balance and function of the bacteria, enzymes, and processes that take place in your digestive system—mainly the intestines. A healthy gut doesn’t just help you digest food; it affects everything from your energy levels to your immune system, skin health, and even your mood. Let’s break down what gut health really is, why it matters, and how you can take care of it.
