PHGG influences gut motility, secretions and vagal modulation of contraction, and has been shown to reduce methane levels. Methane production is implicated in the reduction in 5HT (gut serotonin) levels and reduced intestinal motility. Excessive production of methane has been linked to gastrointestinal issues such as SIBO, chronic constipation, IBS and slow transit time. PHGG may therefore assist in reducing severity of these conditions and symptoms. \u003cstrong\u003eResearch of PHGG has also shown other benefits, including:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced methane excretion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved effectiveness of antibiotic SIBO treatment (when used with PHGG)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImprovements in chronic constipation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVisceral hypersensitivity, abdominal pain and inflammation;\u003c\/strong\u003e Probiotics can help modulate visceral hypersensitivity (increased pain sensitivity) to reduce abdominal pain and improve patient comfort.

Gut inflammation can also contribute to pain and associated symptoms that may benefit from probiotic strains, such as \u003cem\u003eL. plantarum\u003c\/em\u003e 299v, shown to exert a modulatory effect on the inflammatory response of epithelium, helping to improve gastrointestinal comfort and health.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirections \/ Serving suggestion:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdults:\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eAdd 2 1\/2 metric teaspoons (5g) to 200 mL of water and stir until dissolved.
