In depth information about the industry
Carbiotix products and services aim to improve the gut health or microbiome of people (the 30 trillion bacteria in the gut). Gut health has been shown to have an impact on immune system integrity, cholesterol and blood sugar management, and the risk of developing a wide range of metabolic and chronic diseases. Poor gut health is defined by a condition known as dysbiosis, or an imbalance of good vs. bad host probiotic bacteria. Prebiotics are indigestible carbohydrates or food for host probiotic bacteria in the gut. When prebiotics are consumed, “good” bacteria grow as a result. These “good” bacteria through a process known as carbohydrate fermentation produce beneficial metabolites or Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFA’s). When too few prebiotics are consumed, a process known as protein fermentation is enhanced and toxic metabolites are produced which enhance the dysbiosis or an imbalance in the gut. Some people consume industrially manufactured probiotics as a means to introduce “good” bacteria in the gut and treat the symptoms of dysbiosis. Carbiotix is bringing to market prebiotic modulators based on AXOS that include ingredients, medical foods and therapeutics. Carbiotix gut health testing services serve to assess the gut health of people and to validate the efficacy of its modulators.
