Our bodies are home to trillions of microbes, many of which live inside our gut. They outnumber the cells in our body and are collectively called the “microbiome”. These microbes are important because they protect our bodies from pathogens and infection; they help prime & fine tune our immunity system; they help in food digestion; they help to harvest energy from food that we eat; and they also help synthesize essential nutrients such as vitamin B12.

What is not so obvious is that the gut microbiome also affects our mental health. Gut microbes can influence our moods and behaviours, and even the type of food we eat. Dr Gershon, a renown American brain scientist, called the gut our “second brain” because it is the only organ in our body which can communicate directly with the brain via the gut-brain axis. This is evident from the facts that the gut has more nerve endings than the spinal cord, and that more than half of the two main brain chemicals, are produced and stored in the gut.

The makeup of our microbiome depends on our genetics, age, environment, lifestyle, diet and use of medicines. When we are healthy, our gut microbiome is balanced, ie, it contains the right types of microbes in the right numbers and ratios. Unfortunately, this balance can be disturbed through chronic stress & anxiety, poor diet, sedentary lifestyles, insufficient sleep and antibiotic misuse. Inflammation then occurs in the body leading to “leaky gut” syndrome and mitochrondia disorders. These affect the proper functioning of our second brain which in turn affects our brain.

Living Logic+ has been formulated to establish a healthy gut-brain connection. Using proprietary phytosynbiotic technology, it is produced by fermenting plants (rhodiola, cistanche and almond) known for their ability to boost neurotransmitters, enhance mental activities and promote healthy brain development. The product also contains prebiotics and probiotics for maintenance of a balanced gut microbiome. Prebiotics play a major role in nurturing beneficial bacteria in the gut while the probiotics, consisting of a consortium of lactic acid bacteria which are able to survive stomach acid, are important for the proper functioning of our body as described in the earlier paragraphs.
