Notes from DrKF:
Having a healthy microbiome is another key aspect of epigenetic healthy. Our gut microbes, when we have the right ones, are capable of producing the equivalent of a multivitamin, including usable amounts of the micronutrients thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), folate, biotin, pantothenic acid (B5), and vitamin K. In addition, postbiotic compounds produced by key species interact with our endogenous systems including hormonal, immune, and epigenetic. In our research studies, we included supplemental microbiome support.
Premier Fermented Greens provides a convenient, gluten-free, 100% fermented plant blend with live prebiotic, probiotic and (important) postbiotic activity. It’s a great way to get your methylation adaptogens as well as support your microbiome which is also essential for epigenetic health and longevity.
A favorite organic prebiotic, probiotic, and postbiotic blend designed for immune system support, including organic acacia gum, organic elderberry, organic reishi mycelium, organic fermented astragalus root, organic apple cider vinegar, Bacillus coagulans, Saccharomyces boulardii, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus clausii.
This is the probiotic we used in our clinical study. With regard to DNA methylation, there is some evidence that Lactobacillus plantarum 299V manufactures natural folate in the gut. This strain has also been shown to reduce cortisol levels in human saliva—yet another lever it has to support healthy DNA methylation. Lactobacillus plantarum 299V is also generally well tolerated. In our study, participants took 20 billion live CFUs per day (two capsules).
