The ONE ingredient your gut will love

@emmatalksnutrition

The ONE ingredient your gut will love, but no one is talking about… (And when I say no-one, Davinia Taylor is a massive fan if anyone follows her – very inspirational ?) Anyway - this one, special ingredient is L+ lactic acid - and no, not the type of lactic acid that gives you DOMs. This type is like a spa day for your gut bacteria. It’s like endorphins for them - what they produce when they’re happy and populating, and what you can use to create a healthy gut environment - because, guess what? You can purposely put more back in. As a nutritionist with a passion for gut health, this, for me, is a no brainer, adding a source of L+ lactic acid to your day, is a daily must have. Try it for yourself people ?✨

What's this mystery ingredient that's so good for you gut?

It's L+ lactic acid, and no, this is not the type of lactic acid that gives you DOMs after exercise (that's type D lactic acid).

What is L+ lactic acid, and why is it so helpful for your gut?

L+ lactic acid is like a spa day for your gut bacteria. It’s like endorphins for them - it's what they produce when they’re happy, fermenting and populating, so therefore, it's exactly what you want to be using to create a healthy gut environment and you can purposely put more back in. 

Where can I find a source of L+ lactic acid?

A daily dose of Molkosan or Molkosan Fruit are my go to's - reliable soures of L+ lactic acid goodness - try it for yourself today.
