Discover ZenGut™: A Breakthrough Microalgae-based Ingredient for Gut Health and Mood

ZenGut™ is a clinically supported solution designed to influence the gut-brain axis, helping to improve intestinal function, enhance digestive comfort, and promote a balanced gut microbiota. This innovative product has been showcased at SupplySide West, taking place from October 28-31 in Las Vegas.

ZenGut™ is the first microalgae-based ingredient of its kind, sourced from the Tetradesmus obliquus Mi175.B1.a strain and sustainably produced in France using a patented hydro-biomimetic technology. In a soon-to-be-published clinical study, a daily serving of just 250 mg of ZenGut significantly alleviated gastrointestinal discomfort, improved mood and mental well-being, and increase gut microbiota diversity—all within just four weeks.

Addressing Worldwide Gut Health Concerns: A Holistic Approach

Harmony begins from within, as research shows that ZenGut positively impacts the gut-brain axis, which plays a central role in both gut health and mood regulation. Neurotransmitters responsible for mood regulation are primarily produced in the gut, meaning imbalances in the gut microbiota can result in both digestive discomfort and emotional stress. By addressing these two factors simultaneously, ZenGut naturally promotes a balanced gut while supporting mental well-being, helping to reduce stress and enhance overall wellness.

A growing number of consumers are seeking natural solutions to enhance their gut health and overall well-being. With digestive disorders affecting up to 40% of the global population, half of those impacted report that these issues negatively influence their mood, emotions, stress levels, mental and physical fatigue, and daily sleep quality.

Unlocking the Potential of Microalgae

In response to these challenges, advanced hydro-biomimetic technology is being used to harness the power of microalgae for innovative health solutions. This technology replicates natural biological environments, allowing for the scalable cultivation of various microalgae strains. Utilizing fully integrated two-phase flow process photobioreactors, it mimics the ideal conditions for microalgae growth while increasing the efficiency of bioactive compound extraction. This cutting-edge platform ensures the production of high-quality ingredients, like ZenGut.

ZenGut is extracted from the Tetradesmus obliquus microalgae and contains a unique blend of bioactives that function as prebiotics, essential fatty acids (alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3), carotenoids (lutein), essential amino acids (tryptophan, phenylalanine, leucine, isoleucine), sterols (alpha-spinasterol), and a naturally occurring neuromodulator (phenylethylamine or PEA).
