You WILL lose muscle mass while taking this.

You WILL have to make your meals SMALL or you vomit.

NOT RECOMMENDED

[Governor Dinwiddie]

The alternative is called diet and exercise.

I keep telling people just drink kefir. Kefir has Bacteriods vulgatus plus just about every other beneficial bacteria your gut needs.

So easy to make your own just need some grains and good milk.

I searched “foods with B Vulgatus”

it came up saying beef, dairy, broccoli

[suasponte137]

Yeah, the natural alternative to Ozempic? Duct tape.

I do drink commercial kefir but....

While kefir does contain a wide variety of bacteria and yeasts beneficial to gut health, P. vulgatus is not typically highlighted as a key or dominant strain, and its levels may vary widely.

Yes, pantothenic acid supplements convert to pantothenate in the body. Pantothenic acid, also known as vitamin B5, is the precursor to pantothenate, the biologically active form used in various metabolic processes. After ingestion, pantothenic acid is absorbed in the small intestine and converted into coenzyme A (CoA) and acyl-carrier protein (ACP), both of which contain pantothenate as a core component.

life is like that mouse maze in science class...

some figure it out while some don’t...

medications won’t correct eating habits...

[Flaming Conservative]

Thank you.

I believe that the Bacteroides vulgatus is what we want.

“Bacteroides vulgatus is a type of bacteria that may be present in kefir, a probiotic-rich food. Bacteroides vulgatus is also present in the human gut microbiota. “

[steve86]

It's the same thing, reclassified.

Bacteroides vulgatus, recently reclassified as Phocaeicola vulgatus, is a prominent bacterium in the human gut microbiota...

Thanks!

“metabolite of B. vulgatus,”

You don’t have that in your spice cabinet next to cinnamon?

[MayflowerMadam]

If I were to be hypnotized, I’d want to be programmed to like yogurt. Or even be able to smell it without gagging. I would love to be able to eat it.

[Jane Long]

Yes…the RIGHT strains have SO many benefits.
