Bacteria - AlistipesUpdated a year ago
Alistipes is a beneficial bacteria that is found in the intestinal tract. It helps to strengthen your microbiome by facilitating the growth of other beneficial probiotic bacteria. Research has shown Alistipes to help with symptoms of ulcerative colitis, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). Alistipes has also been shown to aid in liver detoxification and help to control obesity. Alistipes thrive on a diet rich in animal proteins and complex carbohydrates. Alistipes use these carbohydrates to create acetic acid which helps ensure no harmful bacterial overgrowths can thrive. Alistipes cannot be directly put into probiotic supplements with current technology, but there is a lot you can do to boost existing levels. Some foods to eat to help boost your Alistipes levels are eggs, apricots, poultry, extra-virgin olive oil, and legumes.
