Hair loss/thin hair can be a sign of malnutrition/digestive problems - gut health, nutrient absorption, probiotics, prebiotics

Hair loss or thin hair can absolutely be a sign of malnutrition/ digestive problems. This seems to be pretty much universally accepted with not a lot of contentious debate. ⁠.⁠The next step? What to do with that information. Address any motility and/or digestive issues first. This includes constipation, diarrhea, heartburn/reflux, nausea, bloating, cramping, and any other symptom that comes from the belly either after eating or that develops throughout the day. ⁠.⁠We have plans for each of those issues. Please start there! If the issues are allergies, skin irritations, a poor immune system, mood issues, and headaches/migraines but there are...

There are many issues associated with slow motility - constipation, bloating, gas, IBS, SIBO, GERD

There are many issues associated with slow motility - constipation, bloating, gas, IBS, SIBO, GERD

So many issues are associated or linked with slow motility. It is because of this that we have most people start by addressing motility issues before jumping into probiotics or prebiotics. ⁠.⁠Why?⁠.⁠When motility is slow, bacteria and yeast can’t be cleared out properly. Motility affects gut bacteria diversity and composition. It affects the very core issues of gut health.⁠.⁠Many people have tried for years to address many of the listed issues without success. ⁠.⁠I am personally aware of how frustrating it is. My question is, “Were motility issues ever addressed or resolved?” If not, we have a very effective plan...

Chronic, persistent diarrhea is a fundamental motility issue that needs to be addressed

Chronic, persistent diarrhea is a fundamental motility issue that needs to be addressed

If a person gets diarrhea for a few days, they likely ate something that didn’t agree with them, they may have a virus of some kind, or they may be extra stressed. .Diarrhea happens. .But prolonged, chronic diarrhea/loose stools (no matter the cause) are a problem. I don’t want to take away from anyone’s reliance on diarrhea medications, but there is a better way that is more helpful for long-term gut health and whole-body health..At Silver Fern™ Brand, diarrhea is a fundamental motility issue that has to be addressed first before moving on to address other parts of gut health.

A true cleanse/detox should not cause diarrhea, but help calm it - gut health, cleanse, immunoglobulins, antibodies

A gut cleanse or detox should remove toxins. Where did the idea come from that a cleanse/detox product or system had to cause a laxative effect (aka a bowel flush)?.Isn’t the purpose of a cleanse/detox to remove toxins (literally). And shouldn’t a cleanse/detox make sense by actually removing real, specific toxins? .The body’s immune system removes toxins using immunoglobulins/ antibodies. The most common antibody is IgG. “IgG is always there to help prevent infections. It's also ready to multiply and attack when foreign substances get into the body. When you don't have enough, you are more likely to get infections.”(https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/igg-deficiencies#).Many people...

Correcting gut health can feel uncomfortable at first, here's why - probiotics, die-off effect, bacteria overgrowth, detox, toxins

Correcting gut health can feel worse before it feels better. According to our science team, that’s the truth. .Short-term symptom solutions are probably a quick, feel-good method but correcting the underlying issues can be uncomfortable.There is a war going on in the gut. When the good side is losing, all sorts of health challenges occur (everything from digestive discomforts to skin irritations). .When a person dramatically starts correcting those issues, the bad side doesn’t suddenly surrender and go away peacefully. They go out with a fight and that fight can hurt. .Here’s the scoop:▪️ Toxins may be residing in the...

Bone health goes way beyond loading up on calcium every day.

AN-PEP enzymes help properly breakdown gluten in the stomach-gut health, gluten free, gluten intolerance, celiac

AN-PEP enzymes help properly breakdown gluten in the stomach-gut health, gluten free, gluten intolerance, celiac

Gluten is a protein. When this protein is not properly broken down completely in the stomach it can cause reactions in the intestines. Therefore, it would stand to reason the solution would be to break down this protein rapidly in the stomach before it gets to the intestines and in a way that doesn’t cause the gut to flare up. .With common gluten enzymes, gluten-sensitive T-cells still react to digested gluten. Flare-ups happen. The AN-PEP enzyme is able to digest the immunogenic parts of gluten so that flare-ups don’thappen..For people with gluten autoimmune responses, they experience problems when the gluten...

Saying goodbye to constipation for good-bloating, digestion, motility

There are many people dealing with chronic, uncomfortable, and problematic constipation. Most people have become reliant on some form of laxative for day-to-day bowel regularity. This has likely caused a reliance on laxatives. Or some people take magnesium at a high dose daily and if they stop taking it, they aren't regular. This is also a problem. .Why is motility a problem? When motility is slow, bad bacteria grow and bacteria overgrowth happens. This is bad. A fundamental part of gut health is good motility. .Constipation is a sign that gut fundamentals are messed up.

What’s the difference in probiotics? This topic can be debated all over the place, but it is safe to say that not all types of probiotics are the same..Both types of probiotics may start alive and both types may administer benefits. But how they do so is abit different. (This is the position of our experts).Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium type strains (while still beneficial) won’t recondition the gut like true probiotics will because they are targeting specific benefits..For example, the B. longum 1714 strain in our Quiet Serenity product is targeted at biological stress and helping maintain normal cortisol levels.

Most digestive issues cause bloating, but there's help - gut health, SIBO, bacteria overgrowth, probiotics, digestion, digestive enzymes, constipation

  Bloating is the universal symptom for everything. Almost all digestive problems cause bloating. ⁠.⁠Whether the bloating is mild or severe it comes from the same underlying issues: foods aren’t processing normally and thoroughly enough to keep gas production down. ⁠.⁠And with motility issues (foods not processing at a normal speed), low stomach acid, and poor enzyme⁠production usually comes bacteria imbalances. ⁠.⁠With bacteria imbalances comes excessive gas⁠production. This is why bacteria overgrowth causes such intense bloating.⁠

How many people feel like this every day? .When this feeling happens, I usually assume a personisn’t digesting correctly, especially for those on a high protein diet. The digestive process is complex soin order to properly break down foods stomach acid, enzymes, and bacteria balance all need to be addressed..The initial high dosing of Upper GI Relief and Digestive Enzymes is to help correct things faster. I don’tsuggest a person take supplements in high doses for long-term. The goal is to correct the immediate issues as soon as possible, resolve the underlying problems, and then maintain gut health once it...

Digestive enzymes can be very effective IF you take the right enzymes at the right time in the right dose - digestive enzymes, fodmap, gluten, dairy, food intolerances

Digestive enzymes can be very effective IF you take the right enzymes at the right time in the right dose - digestive enzymes, fodmap, gluten, dairy, food intolerances

We hear it all the time, "I've tried enzymes in the past and they didn't work!" We respectfully disagree, at least when it comes to our enzymes.⁠.⁠The short-term solution to food intolerances is taking the RIGHT ENZYMES at the⁠RIGHT TIME in the right⁠RIGHT DOSES.⁠(The long-term solution is taking probiotics that increase a person’s own enzyme production)⁠.⁠1️⃣ Specific enzymes break down specific foods. For example, lactase doesn’t break down gluten. Gluten⁠enzymes don’t break down pectin or inulin.⁠2️⃣ Not all enzymes with the same names are equally effective.⁠3️⃣ Taking enzymes after a meal is useless. When undigested food hits the intestinal tract,...

Evidence for leaky gut and its effect on multiple aspects of health - probiotics, prebiotics, immunoglobulins, antibodies, gut health

Evidence for leaky gut and its effect on multiple aspects of health - probiotics, prebiotics, immunoglobulins, antibodies, gut health

For not being a “real issue”, leaky gut (also called increased intestinal permeability) sure has a lot of clinical support behind it as being a fundamental cause or contributor to a lot of health problems. .There is also solid scientific support for key probiotics, prebiotics, and immunoglobulin/antibody concentrate blends (along with changing lifestyle choices) that cancorrect the imbalances and intestinal permeability in the gut in such a way as to manifest in fewer stomach problems and issues..“Leaky gut isn’t real!!!! Don’t lie!!!!” is a common reaction we get from our posts on leaky gut. Our microbiologist and science team suggests...

Gut health affects mood, weight gain, acne, and so much more

Gut health affects mood, weight gain, acne, and so much more

Gut health literally affects how a person feels. That’s the science. If a person struggles with being ornery, feels out of sorts, is constantly stressed, and is frequently irritated, there is a great chance they have gut health problems. .Poor gut health doesn’t just affect digestion. It causes frustrations and problems well beyond constipation and diarrhea. People ask all the time about why they suddenly have unexplained weight gain: “My diet’s the same. I exercise daily. I’m not doing anything different, but I have gained 10 pounds in 3 months. Is that a gut problem?” It definitely could be. .Hormones...

Gut health impacts energy (& hormones)-probiotics

Gut health impacts energy (& hormones)-probiotics

“What does leaky gut and bacteria imbalances have to do with my energy levels?” A lot. They are directly connected. ⁠.⁠If a person is dragging all day and has poor gut health, I have a pretty good idea where they should start with their low energy issues.⁠.“But don’t hormones affect energy too?” Yes. And the gut affects hormones. I’m not suggesting someone not get their hormones checked or not work on those to help improve energy levels, but I am suggesting that a person that knows hormones likely knows how important gut health is to hormone levels.⁠.⁠Get energy with better...

True probiotics can help with so many digestive issues-heartburn, reflux, constipation, diarrhea

True probiotics can help with so many digestive issues-heartburn, reflux, constipation, diarrhea

I really struggle with some gut health issues like bloating, irregularity (like the book says, everybody poops) and a few other issues that stem from my GI problems when I had my gallbladder removed and suffered from pancreatitis. So it definitely makes it hard to find the best probiotic out there that combats all these things. The @silverfernbrand one is the only one that has really shown me significant improvement in those areas! Finding a good probiotic is KEY with gut health and I’m so thankful to have the Silver Fern one in my life!@kimmymanzo

Immune Health also impacts allergies, asthma, autoimmune diseases, eczema, arthritis, infections, food allergies, energy- gut health

Immune Health also impacts allergies, asthma, autoimmune diseases, eczema, arthritis, infections, food allergies, energy- gut health

What do I do for allergies (including food allergies) and asthma?”⁠“What do I do for skin irritations and problems?”⁠.⁠Looking beyond the immune system to address things like allergies/food allergies, asthma, arthritis,⁠autoimmune issues, and skin problems is a huge mistake. ⁠.⁠Addressing the immune system via gut health⁠is one of the best ways to directly address these issues. Since “immune boosting” or “immune support” is used on everything from water consumption to walking, we seem to be diluting the message for how extremely important the immune system is. ⁠.⁠Here are some suggestions for how to best improve the immune system:⁠1️⃣ Stop consuming...

The gut directs cravings, appetite, fat storage, & metabolism-weight gain, gut health, long-term weight loss

The gut directs cravings, appetite, fat storage, & metabolism-weight gain, gut health, long-term weight loss

The gut directs cravings, appetite, fat storage, and the metabolism. Don’t believe me? Ask someone with candida yeast overgrowth how their sugar cravings are going. Or research the term “dysbiosis” (bacteria imbalances) and “obesity”, “weight gain”, or “metabolic syndrome.” They are directly linked together. ⁠.⁠💊Guess how many people gain weight and can’t lose it after back-to-back usages of antibiotics? A lot. ⁠.⁠🍟Why are fast foods, soda pop, sugary treats, and artificial sweeteners a problem for people trying to drop fat? Among other things, they are major contributors to bacteria imbalances.⁠.⁠Here’s a fact. The gut and brain talk to each other...
