The exact causes of irritable bowel syndrome are not fully understood. Depending on which symptoms are in the foreground, irritable bowel syndrome is divided into four types: The diarrhea type, the constipation type, the pain type and the bloating type. In addition to these four main types, there are also mixed types. Possible causes can be food intolerances, for example. An imbalance in the intestinal microbiome (dysbiosis) can also contribute to irritable bowel syndrome. If the natural balance of bacteria in the gut becomes unbalanced, this can impair bowel function. However, irritable bowel syndrome is also often triggered or exacerbated by stress or psychological problems.

This leads to overactivity of the nerves, which can be closely associated with pain symptoms as well as bloating and diarrhea. Furthermore, an imbalance in the intestines can lead to an overproduction of gases, which can manifest itself in the form of flatulence or a bloated stomach, to name just a few effects.

Prebiotics are non-digestible, plant-based food components, mostly fiber, which are fermented by intestinal bacteria. The main function of prebiotics is to selectively stimulate the growth and activity of beneficial bacteria. By creating a favorable environment for these beneficial microorganisms, prebiotics contribute to a healthy balance of the gut microbiome; however, in the case of irritable bowel syndrome, dietary fibers such as prebiotics are often less well tolerated and can lead to increased nausea, bloating or diarrhea when taken. This can make treatment very difficult. For this reason, our premium prebiotic myBioma Balance is a carefully formulated fibre complex that is also well tolerated by people with irritable bowel syndrome thanks to the careful and scientifically based selection of its ingredients.

The sensitive fiber complex myBioma Balance contains four high-quality ingredients. In addition to the well-tolerated, prebiotic dietary fibers from acacia fibers and guar gum, myBioma Balance also contains wild blueberries and ginger, which provide polyphenols as well as other dietary fibers. Polyphenols are secondary plant substances that also have a positive effect on digestion. Acacia fiber and guar gum are also well tolerated by IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) patients. This sensitive formulation and the short list of ingredients, without any sugar, sweeteners, artificial additives and colorants, ensures good tolerability and gently supports intestinal health.
