Taking care of your intestinal system to combat intestinal hyperpermeability

Laboratoire NG, experts in micro-nutrition

The laboratory was founded in 2012 when a doctor with a passion for nutrition and micro-nutrition met a farmer who was aware of the virtues of plants. 

Laboratoire NG is supported by a team of healthcare practitioners who are passionate about phytotherapy. They develop specific formulas and manufacture all of their products in France, working with prescribing therapists and certain physical points of sale (pharmacies, drugstores, herbalists, organic stores, etc.).

The role of our intestinal ecosystem

The intestine plays an essential role in our daily health and in maintaining it. It is the key organ for immunity in the digestive tract, but also for our overall immune defense. It is also thanks to the intestine that the nutrients necessary for the proper functioning of our body are absorbed and redistributed where our body needs them.

The intestinal mucosa is like a huge filter whose role is to allow the nutrients (vitamins, minerals, etc.) we need to live to pass through. It prevents the penetration of microorganisms, macromolecules, and toxic compounds that could create an imbalance in our metabolism. 

The intestinal wall is lined with a very thin epithelium, composed of villi and microvilli, which are very finely pleated. It consists mainly of a single layer of cells, called enterocytes, which act as a mechanical barrier to the contents of the intestine.

 

 

 

What is intestinal hyperpermeability?

The proper functioning of our intestinal system depends greatly on the quality of our diet and the type of food we eat. In the days of hunter-gatherers, our diet was low in carbohydrates and sodium and rich in potassium, protein, and fiber, whereas today we probably consume too many ultra-processed foods, modern wheat, and refined sugar, which our bodies have difficulty accepting.

In addition, chronic stress (which acidifies the body 300 to 400 times more than food) is also a source of intestinal barrier disruption, as is the continuous use of medications (antibiotics, antidepressants, etc.). 

The result is an alteration of the gut microbiota, which becomes scarce and of poor quality, favoring pathogenic bacteria at the expense of good bacteria: this is known as intestinal dysbiosis. The mucus that lines the intestinal wall diminishes and weakens it, the intestinal microvilli are altered, the tight junctions that hold the intestinal cells together open up, and our intestine becomes a real sieve: it becomes hyperpermeable.

 

 

 

How can you regenerate your gut and restore your intestinal ecosystem?

It is advisable to adopt a hypotoxic and anti-inflammatory diet (vegetables, fruit, small oily fish, legumes, etc.), and to work on your emotions, sleep, and lifestyle. 

It is useful to support intestinal function by consuming nutrients that will relieve gastrointestinal irritation, help restore the intestinal mucosa, and thus reduce intestinal hyperpermeability.

cicaflor

What are the benefits of Laboratoire NG products?

Their Cicaflor product is a combination of synergistic active ingredients that help combat intestinal hyperpermeability.

  • L-glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the blood and muscles. It plays a role in protein synthesis, immune protection, maintaining the integrity of the intestinal wall, and the body's acid-base balance.
  • Turmeric extract contributes to normal intestinal function and helps reduce the effects of oxidative stress.
  • Propolis has strong antimicrobial and antifungal properties and stimulates our immunity.
  • Chamomile, rich in polyphenols, is an excellent anti-inflammatory and has soothing properties.
  • Zinc contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system.

Vitanutrics, access tomorrow's health today 

Who is Vitanutrics?   

Vitanutrics is a Belgian company founded in 2012 that specializes in the development and distribution of natural health products, such as dietary supplements, nutraceuticals, and biocidal products. 

Their team works closely with healthcare professionals (doctors, pharmacists, micronutritionists, etc.) and research centers (Liège University Hospital) on a daily basis to offer natural and effective micronutrition solutions.

The founders of Vitanutrics (Christian De Moortel and Dr. Ludovic Rondini) share a common vision: to offer practical and targeted solutions for sustainable health.

vitanutrics

Why choose Vitanutrics products?

The Vitanutrics range currently consists of around thirty products.

Four core values have guided the development of this range: 

  • Innovation: This is reflected in the products' easy-to-use galenic forms (sublingual spray, drops, etc.), innovative active ingredients (phospholipids, partially hydrolyzed collagen, bisglycinates, etc.), and technologies that ensure better absorption or stability (microencapsulation, liposomal forms, double caps, etc.).

  • Effectiveness: Vitanutrics products contain carefully measured active ingredients, whose effectiveness has been verified by clinical studies. Our formulas are designed and developed to promote synergies. The goal is to guarantee maximum effectiveness for the greatest satisfaction of our customers and the healthcare professionals who recommend our products.

  • Bioavailability: All too often, nutritional intake is considered on the basis of quantitative rather than qualitative criteria. However, not all forms of nutrients are equal: some are better absorbed than others, while some are more easily eliminated. Taking these criteria into account ensures maximum efficacy of the formulas and optimal tolerance of our products.

  • Proximity: For Vitanutrics, proximity means attentive customer service. All our employees are trained in micronutrition and have a thorough knowledge of our products.

 

 

 

Vitanutrics

What are the health benefits?

Today, with our lifestyles and eating habits, it is very difficult to meet all our micronutrient needs. In fact, our diet is much less rich in vitamins and minerals than it was 100 years ago. This is due to changes in agricultural techniques and the (ultra) processing of our food…

Long-term deficiencies can contribute to the development of several diseases.

Compliment has therefore developed, in collaboration with Belgian laboratories, a range of essential supplements (vitamins C, D, magnesium, etc.) as well as more specific supplements, designed to meet your individual goals.

Whether you want to lose weight, boost your energy and vitality, improve your digestion, get better quality sleep or achieve more radiant skin, Compliment offers a personalized response to every health goal.

The supplements are designed by the scientific board to be easily absorbed with the right doses of each active ingredient to have a positive impact.

What is their expertise?

Compliment makes the customer experience easier with an algorithm that takes all your needs into account. You'll get your monthly supply of dietary supplements delivered right to your door. The treatment can be adjusted based on your needs.

The dietary supplements offered contain ingredients with scientifically proven health benefits. The formulas are effective and designed to avoid any side effects.

Finally, the startup works locally. All formulas are developed and manufactured in Belgium. The dietary supplements are then packaged in a sheltered workshop in Brussels by people with disabilities.

 

What are their labels?

All supplements are guaranteed GMO-free, nanoparticle-free, lactose-free, and gluten-free. In addition, most are vegan.

A unique research project on the gut microbiota of elite athletes

In December 2020, Rennes-based company Nahibu announced its partnership with Stade Rennais Football Club. By joining forces today with the M2S laboratory and the Sojasun Espoir cycling team, Nahibu is embarking on an even more ambitious project: to advance research into the links between nutrition, gut microbiota, and athletic performance. 

Laboratoire

From left to right: Emmanuelle Lecommandeur (Head of Nutrition R&D at Nahibu), Rufin Boumpoutou (Medical Coordinator at SRFC), Chrystèle Cressard (Managing Director at Nahibu), Frédéric Derbré (Senior Lecturer – HDR – M2S Laboratory), Jason Yon Snoeck (Sports Director, Sojasun Espoir), Romain Demay (Scientific Analyst, Sojasun Espoir), Pierre Cressard (President, Nahibu)

The aim of this collaborative project is to characterize the composition of the gut microbiota of elite athletes according to their sport and associated energy requirements.

To do this, various measurements will be compared: observation of values, bacteria, and genes involved in regulating effort and the use of energy sources (carbohydrates, lipids, etc.), based on local populations of high-level soccer players and cyclists (i.e., Stade Rennais FC and Sojasun Espoir).

Once these initial studies have been completed, M2S and Nahibu will seek to understand how the gut microbiota of high-level athletes functions in order to establish real links between the composition of this gut microbiota and indicators of the metabolic and energy profile during exercise in these athletic populations.

The M2S Practise team, involved in this collaborative research project, will be responsible for evaluating the energy metabolism during exercise on its ExerMove platform of high-level athletes (footballers from Stade Rennais FC and cyclists from the Sojasun team). The energy metabolism profiles of these elite athletes during exercise will be compared with those of sedentary and untrained subjects, then correlated with their gut microbiota signature as determined by Nahibu. The aim of this collaborative project is to highlight potential links between the gut microbiota profile and the energy metabolism of elite athletes. It will thus make it possible to establish which parameters can be discriminatory and informative for sports staff in the longitudinal monitoring of gut microbiota, and thus optimize nutritional support or training load management for these elite athletes. Frédéric Derbré, Senior Lecturer-HDR, M2S Laboratory.

The ultimate goal of all these results is to advance science and enable Nahibu to develop gut microbiota analysis kits for athletes in the medium term. 

 

About the Sojasun team

The Sojasun Espoir ACNC Cycling Team is based in Noyal Châtillon sur Seiche (35) south of Rennes. Created by Alain Heulot in 1977, the association has risen to the highest level of French amateur cycling and is now in Division Nationale 1. Today, the team is fortunate to have its own headquarters in the commune of Noyal, enabling it to provide its riders with the best possible conditions. A sports director, a mechanic, a performance coordinator, and a communications officer make up the staff for the fifteen or so riders. Each year, the goal is to train at the highest level, leading the professional teams to the next level.

The team has a few references that prove its successful training: on average, one team member turns professional each year. Some names stand out, such as Pierre Rolland, Guillaume Martin, Jason Tesson, and Emmanuel Morin. In recent years, the team managed by Stéphane Heulot has won four French road cycling championships. In 2021, the team achieved three victories and gained momentum throughout the season, promising a great year in 2022.

Collaboration with Nahibu, our desire, our expectations: As a high-level training program, we are committed to improving our scientific knowledge through this type of partnership. With a desire to leave no detail unattended, we are aware that nutrition plays a particularly important role in the athletic performance and recovery of our athletes. So it will be really interesting for us to find out more about the gut microbiota and to support Nahibu's work through our riders. Finally, we are committed to supporting local projects, and Nahibu's is an ambitious one, which makes us even more eager to join in, says Bastien Charbonnier, Communications Manager at Sojasun Espoir.

About Stade Rennais Football Club

SRFC partners with Nahibu to optimize player performance and health: The goal is to obtain objective data that allows us to understand what is happening and monitor the progress of our efforts. For example, we will prescribe probiotics to players, which aim to nourish the microbiota to improve its performance. As winter approaches, we know that the immune system can be weakened, so we will try to prevent that, says Dr. Boumpoutou, team doctor for Stade Rennais Football Club.

As part of this Research and Development project, the Brittany Region is providing financial support to Nahibu.
