Intestinal health in spring

Viruses multiply particularly well at temperatures between 5 and 9 degrees - a look at the high flu case numbers in Austria confirms this impressively. At the same time, the pollen season is already starting: the first early bloomers such as hazel and alder are challenging our immune system, and for many, the first allergy symptoms are becoming noticeable. The gut plays a crucial role in our defences, especially in spring.

With an impressive surface area of 250 to 500 square metres, the intestine is our largest internal organ - and yet it is often underestimated. In addition to its independent nervous system and the complex interplay of enzymes and bacteria that break down nutrients and make them available to the body, it is also the centre of our immune system. However, modern lifestyles are putting it under increasing stress: an unhealthy diet, environmental toxins and psychological stress can disrupt the delicate balance of the intestinal flora. This makes the intestinal mucosa more permeable, which facilitates the penetration of pathogens and allergens.

Spring cure for the gut

Spring is the ideal time to cleanse the gut, regenerate the microbiome and activate the metabolism. A targeted spring cleanse can help detoxify the body, strengthen the immune system and optimise digestion. Here is a recommended step-by-step guide:

1. intestinal cleansing and regeneration of the intestinal mucosa

• Microsan: A valuable herbal extract from fermented plants that is rich in vitamins, trace elements, enzymes and probiotics. It supports the cleansing of the intestines, removes deposits and promotes the regeneration of the intestinal mucosa. DosageOnce a day 30 ml (30 minutes before a meal) for 1 month.
• Metacare Basic 3: Supports tissue deacidification and can also be taken after acid-forming meals to regulate the acid-base balance in the body. DosageOnce a day 3 capsules after a meal.

2. reconstruction of the gut microbiome

After cleansing, it is essential to specifically build up the microbiome with beneficial bacterial strains in order to promote healthy intestinal flora.

• Omni Biotic Colonize or Omni Biotic 10: These high-quality probiotics help to colonise the intestinal flora with important „good“ germs and thus support digestion and the immune system. Dosage: 2x daily 1 sachet dissolved in water.

3. weight reduction and fat metabolism activation

A healthy intestinal flora not only influences digestion, but also the metabolism. Targeted measures can reduce „fattening“ germs and promote fat loss.

• Omni Biotic Metabolic: Promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria that encapsulate sugar for excretion, while undesirable germs that introduce fatty acids into the body are suppressed. It should be taken over a longer period of time in order to achieve a lasting effect. DosageOnce a day in the morning on an empty stomach.
• Omni Logic Apple Pectin: Serves as an important prebiotic and provides valuable nutrients for the good intestinal bacteria. It promotes the growth of healthy intestinal flora and improves digestion. Dosage: 3 capsules twice daily.
• Charantea Metabolic Tea: Contains bitter melon, which activates the metabolism, supports fat burning and at the same time reduces cravings. Ideal as a supplement to a spring diet.

This comprehensive spring cure effectively cleanses, regenerates and strengthens the intestines - for more well-being, energy and healthy digestion.

Preparing the immune system specifically for the allergy season

At the start of the pollen season, the immune system is often over-activated and reacts to harmless substances such as pollen with unpleasant symptoms. Targeted support can help to balance the immune system and reduce allergic reactions.

• Lectranal: The special extract from the tragacanth root (Astragalus membranaceus) strengthens the immune system in a natural way and helps to regulate excessive defence reactions. This can alleviate allergy symptoms and promote a balanced immune response. Lectranal is available in two strengths as capsules and as a juice for children aged 3 years and over.

It is also advisable to regularly follow the current pollen warning services, to recognise stressful days at an early stage and take appropriate measures.
