PleioBiotic (Pleio- Multiple Effects – Biotic - Produced or caused by living organisms) is a term coined by RedoxBox to define the natural-occurring small molecules produced when multiple strains of good bacteria (resident bacteria in the gut or probiotics) feed on resistant fibre (prebiotics).These compounds are the foundation in the intricate and complex cross-talk between the microbiome and the host as well as the cross-talk and cross-feed the different strains of bacteria establish along the gut. They act as the “middleman” in this fascinating microcosmos of microbiome-host interactions. Butyric acid is a natural short chain fatty acid (SCFA) produced as the result of the bacterial breakdown of dietary fibre. It feeds the epithelial mucosa-cells lining the gut wall playing a pivotal role in maintaining the integrity of the gastrointestinal wall.Tau-Biotic is a patented unique nitrogen protected liquid formulation containing specially formulated butyric acid that time releases throughout your small and large intestines, a benefit no standard capsule can provide. Sodium, calcium butyrate releases in the stomach and early small intestine never reaches the lower gut. Tau-Biotic odour-control technology prevents the distinctive acrid odour that sodium/calcium butyrate capsules leave on your hands and you can’t get rid of. No more funny looks from people around you. No after taste nor butyrate burps. If you are taking antibiotics: Antibiotics can break your gut's equilibrium as they devastate all your microbiota: the harmful bacteria you are trying to fight off but also the beneficial bacteria in your gut. Such loss of diversity can lead to an impaired and metastable microbiome which can easily relapse.For travelers: Nothing like traveling to another distant country to challenge your microbiota: new food and water containing unfamiliar bacteria by the loads can disrupt even the most resilient microbiota.
