NTU

Research Partnership

Nottingham Trent University

Our formulation is backed by ongoing research at Nottingham Trent University, investigating nutritional strategies to attenuate exercise-induced gut damage and associated symptoms in high-performance athletes.

The Problem with Intense Exercise

High-intensity exercise creates unique challenges for your digestive system, leading to gut damage and compromised performance.

Exercise-Induced Gut Damage

Intense training causes intestinal permeability, leading to "leaky gut" and inflammatory responses that compromise recovery.

Compromised Immune Function

High-intensity exercise suppresses immune markers, increasing susceptibility to upper respiratory tract infections (URTI).

GI Symptoms & Discomfort

Athletes experience bloating, GI distress, and digestive issues that directly impact training quality and performance outcomes.
