Making Science Accessible
You can’t bring strains together and call it a probiotic. An effective probiotic formulation requires the perfect dosage of the right bacterial strains; clinically studied to work together symbiotically.
A healthy gut can support optimal immune, digestive, cognitive, respiratory, and cardiovascular health. When the gut is unwell, the symptoms can radiate throughout the entire body. It’s important to take a proactive approach to keep your gut balanced.
A balanced microbiome helps the body heal, function, and perform at its best. It’s critical that individuals take a probiotic that has been well studied— which is why we prioritize scientific transparency.
Lyvecap is founded on 20+ years of clinical research and development. Not every probiotic is effective in making a difference in your gut flora, in fact, most on the market are not. The Lyvecap formulation is first-of-it’s kind, backed by science and driven by results.
Performance, Recovery and Overall Wellness
When it comes to performance and recovery, what’s going on in the gut is critical. A disrupted gut can impact the wellness of our body as a whole. Many factors lead to imbalances in the microbiome, including intense training, physiological stress, disrupted sleep, and environmental extremes. Today, it’s more important than ever to be proactive about gut health.
The synergistic strains in STRONG are clinically proven to help balance the gut microbiome. A balanced microbiome reduces gut-related issues such as intolerances during endurance exercise, illness, fatigue, and other physical setbacks. The result is improved gut health, overall wellness, nutrient absorption, and immune system function.
Lyvecap is formulated to strengthen your microbiome and immune system, helping the microbiome withstand shifts in gut flora during intense exercise. STRONG allows you to work harder, recover faster, and live healthier every day.
LACTIC ACID REDUCTION AND RECOVERY
Lyvecap STRONG helps reduce lactic acid in the muscles. Lactic acid reduction leads to faster recovery, allowing athletes to train at a higher frequency. During high-intensity exercise, the body uses lactate for energy. When lactate-utilizing bacteria are in the gut, they produce bioactive metabolites from lactate. This process increases cardiovascular endurance, improves energy levels, and regulates muscle metabolism.
The Impact of Oxygenation on Endurance Athletes
Oxygen changes in the gut directly influence the amount of oxygen available for the remaining body systems and other essential organs. Since the digestive system receives one-third of the cardiac output, what’s going on in the gut is critical to oxygen availability in the body. This is especially important for elite athletes who place high oxygen demands on their bodies daily.
STRONG decreases oxygen usage in the gut, allowing other essential organs to receive higher oxygen uptake during intense performance. Increased oxygen availability extends the time to exhaustion leading to better performance and faster post-exercise recovery.
