SIBO-Go Dietary Supplement: fermented support that helps

Living Nutrition uses the ancient method of triple fermentation in the production of SIBO-Go dietary supplement, which activates and enhances the positive properties of all the ingredients contained.

SIBO-Go is a bioactive combination of herbs, including garlic, oregano, thyme and cloves, for a normal and balanced microbiome. This fermented formula is based on traditional herbs used for thousands of years in cooking and traditional medicine for their potent and broad-spectrum antimicrobial effects.

An ideal dietary supplement to include in your daily regime. It is easy to digest and contains natural biotics for optimal support of the microbiome.

The capsules contain nutrients, enzymes and active ingredients that create a complete living diet that works in natural synergy with your microflora, allowing a gentler approach to bacterial overgrowth.

Fermentation increases the conversion of the specific garlic compound allicin to its active form: S-allyl cysteine (SAC). Furthermore, the oregano and thyme contained share some key compounds including carvacrol, a key phenol, and thymol.

Thyme also contains terpenes, flavonoids and saponins, which are preserved in synergy through the fermentation process. Clove is a hot, pungent spice whose most potent phytochemical is eugenol.

The power of herbs in SIBO-Go

Fermented herbs (garlic, oregano, thyme) belong to the category of low FODMAP foods and may therefore be better tolerated.

How does Graham Botfield, founder and developer of Living Nutrition, answer the question of SIBO and fermentation?

'On the one hand, people with SIBO may be sensitive to fermented foods. On the other hand, fermented products are one of the best ways to restore balance in the digestive tract. And that's exactly what our SIBOGo product is designed for.

It is a multi-ingredient fermented product that not only activates the ingredients in garlic, oregano, thyme and cloves, but also creates a suitable environment for the microbes in the product. This gives a good chance to restore healthy gut flora.

In addition, the fermented nutrients in the product act as signal compounds that promote digestion and help restore balance and harmony in the intestines.

I am an expert on digestive health and gut flora and although those who are particularly sensitive to fermented foods may prefer to avoid them, I have had very good experiences with the product.'

Dosage recommendations:

• Start with 1 capsule twice a day for a few days.
• You can then increase the dose to 2 capsules twice a day, but the dosage depends on your individual needs.

The duration of use is usually 1 to 2 months, which should be enough for visible improvement.

What is SIBO and do you suffer from it?

SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) means an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine. Normally, most of the gut bacteria live in the large intestine, but in SIBO they overgrow in the small intestine, which can lead to digestive problems and other health problems.

Causes of SIBO

• Slowed bowel movement: for example, due to stress, surgery or diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
• Structural changes: such as scarring, adhesions or intestinal obstruction.
• Weak immune system: For example, after antibiotics or in chronic diseases.
• Diets high in sugar and carbohydrates: these foods promote bacterial growth.

Symptoms of SIBO

• Bloating and flatulence
• Abdominal pain
• Diarrhoea or constipation (or alternation of both)
• Nausea
• Fatigue
• Weight loss or inadequate absorption of nutrients (e.g. vitamin B12 deficiency)

Health impacts

SIBO can lead to poor absorption of nutrients (malabsorption), which can cause deficiencies in vitamins, minerals and protein. In the long term, it can affect overall health, especially if not treated properly.

Treatment of SIBO

• Diet: a low-FODMAP diet that limits foods that promote bacterial growth is often recommended.
• Probiotics and fermented products: they can help restore the balance of the intestinal microflora.
• Antibiotics or herbal remedies: Prescribed by a doctor to eliminate excessive bacterial growth.
• Digestive support: for example massyzmes digestive enzymes or hydrochloric acid HCL Breakthrough from American biohacking specialists, Bioptimizerswho have been working on proper digestion for over 20 years. We don't know a better brand in the industry!

Why digestive enzymes?

MassZymes is a highly effective digestive enzyme supplement that promotes the breakdown and absorption of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. It helps reduce the amount of undigested food that can feed bacteria in the small intestine, making it suitable for SIBO.

It contains a high proportion of proteases that improve protein digestion and relieve intestinal irritation. It also promotes nutrient absorption, which is often impaired in SIBO.

Simply put: MassZymes focuses on the efficient breakdown of food.

It is recommended to take 1-2 capsules 10-15 minutes before meals, especially before larger or protein-rich meals. If this time frame is not practical, it is better to take them during or shortly after a meal than to skip them altogether.

---

Note: The manufacturer lists a recommended dosage of 3 capsules, as this is based on product optimization based on average user needs. This dose is meant to ensure maximum effectiveness for most people, especially when it comes to digesting heavier or larger meals. However, it is not necessary for all users to strictly adhere to this dosage - needs may vary depending on individual factors.

HCL Breakthrough is a hydrochloric acid (HCl) supplement enriched with pepsin and betaine that is ideal for people with low stomach acid (hypochlorhydria), a common contributing factor to SIBO.

It increases stomach acid levels, creating an unfavourable environment for bacteria to overgrow in the small intestine. It promotes protein digestion and reduces the fermentation of undigested food. It also stimulates the release of bile and pancreatic enzymes, which improves the overall digestive process.

Start taking 1 capsule of HCL Breakthrough towards the end of a meal, especially if you are just starting out with HCL supplementation. If you tolerate it well, try gradually shifting the timing to just before or at the beginning of the meal and see if this further improves digestion.

The important thing is to feel how your body reacts to the supplement and stick to the timing that works best for you.

Important recommendation

• Start slow: Introduce enzymes at a low dose and gradually increase to monitor tolerance and avoid worsening symptoms.
• Follow a low-FODMAP diet: digestive enzymes are most effective when combined with a diet that limits fermentable carbohydrates.
• Consult a specialist: SIBO is a complex problem and therefore the use of enzymes should be tailored to your symptoms and health condition.

Digestion support and bacterial food restriction make MassZymes and HCL Breakthrough an excellent adjunct to SIBO treatment.

If you suspect SIBO, it is important to see a doctor who can perform diagnostic tests (e.g., a breath test for hydrogen and methane). Correct diagnosis is the key to effective treatment.

Why can fermented foods be a problem in SIBO?

In SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), some fermented foods can be problematic because they contain FODMAPs - fermentable carbohydrates that are rapidly processed by bacteria in the small intestine.

This can lead to excessive gas production, bloating and abdominal pain. They also contain probiotics, which, although generally beneficial, can feed already overgrown bacteria and worsen symptoms in the case of SIBO.

However, fermented foods do not have to be completely excluded, depending on their composition. Foods high in FODMAPs, such as sauerkraut, kombucha or high lactose yoghurt, can worsen SIBO symptoms.

Conversely, low-FODMAP foods such as home-fermented cabbage without added sugar, coconut yoghurt or fermented herbs (garlic, oregano, thyme) may be better tolerated.

When introducing fermented foods, it is advisable to follow a low-FODMAP diet, which limits fermentable carbohydrates and reduces the burden on the small intestine. Start with small doses and monitor your body's reactions.

Specialised fermented food supplements, for example with fermented herbs, may be a suitable alternative due to their low FODMAP content and antimicrobial properties.

Fermented foods can therefore be beneficial in SIBO if chosen and dosed judiciously.

Composition

Fermented garlic (Allium sativum)*, fermented oregano leaves (Origanum vulgare)*, fermented thyme (Thymus vulgaris)*, fermented cloves (Syzygium aromaticum) buds*, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) capsules**.

*Certified organic ingredients, Soil Association Organic United Kingdom

**Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose(HPMC) capsules are very popular due to their versatility, stability and ability to meet different consumer needs. Unlike traditional gelatin capsules, which are made from animal products, HPMC capsules are plant-based, making them an ideal choice for vegans, vegetarians and those with dietary or ethical restrictions. This trend corresponds to the growing demand for products with pure ingredients that do not contain allergens. HPMC capsules are also gluten-free, lactose-free and can be certified kosher or halal.

Nutritional values

2 capsules contain kefir-kombucha fermented complex of the following nutrients

• organic garlic cloves (Allium sativum) - 150 mg
• organic oregano leaf (Origanum vulgare) - 150mg
• organic thyme (Thymus vulgaris) - 150mg
• organic clove buds (Syzygium aromaticum) - 150mg

Dosage

One dose (2 capsules) contains 600 mg of a blend of herbs, fermented by the characteristic kefir-combucha process for several weeks, then carefully freeze-dried to preserve all the unique nutrients.

When and how to use

SIBO-Go is recommended to be introduced gradually. Start with 1 capsule per day and monitor symptoms for several days to minimize the risk of bloating or discomfort that may be caused by fermentation byproducts.

If well tolerated, increase the dose to 1 capsule twice a day, ideally during or just before meals when the digestive system is most active.

Fermented garlic, oregano, thyme and cloves contain powerful antimicrobials that help reduce bacteria in the small intestine.

Fermentation increases the effectiveness of these ingredients, but may cause transient symptoms such as bloating or the 'die-off effect' in susceptible individuals. Taking with food ensures optimal action and avoiding an empty stomach minimises the risk of irritation.

Why fermented Living Nutrition products

Living Nutrition 's fermentation-activated capsules offer a superior level of active ingredients. Thanks to fermentation, these vital components are activated and the human body is able to absorb them and make the most of their positive effects. Fermented herbs, spices and mushrooms retain their holistic synergy while being much more concentrated and bioavailable.

Thanks to the fermentation process, they are also rich in beneficial microbes, enzymes and contain a number of signal molecules specific to the fermentation process.

Each capsule contains an organic blend fermented over an extended period of time using Living Nutrition's signature kefir-kombucha method, then carefully freeze-dried to preserve all the unique nutrients. The blends are then encapsulated in an organic fermented tapioca capsule, making them truly 100% organic inside and out.

Who is behind the production?

The nutritional supplement is formulated by renowned English nutritional therapist, Graham Botfield, to achieve the right synergy of nutrients in which each food and herb perfectly complement each other.

Only the best organic ingredients are used for freshness and vitality. The fermentation production process (details under the tab titled Fermentation Process) is also designed and controlled by Graham.

The production of each mixture in this product line is supervised individually, as each mixture has different composition, requirements and purpose. All fermented blends are gently freeze-dried to preserve their freshness and capture the highest possible amount of active nutrients.

Founder Graham Botfield is a nutritional therapist and researcher who specialises in the digestive microbiome and the traditional use of herbs. He has worked with respected dietary supplement brands, including New Chapter.

Its founder and master herbalist, Paul Schulick, was a major influence on Graham's approach to developing nature-inspired dietary supplements. Together with another colleague, an expert in microbiology, Graham is constantly developing new fermented products and researching their benefits.

Graham's great passion, besides fermentation, is education. He uses his research at Living Nutrition to lecture on the benefits of fermented plants for modern health conditions. At Living Nutrition, we continue to be inspired by Graham's research to create products that work in harmony with the body's natural ecology.
