Gut Check:
Can a probiotic really impact your performance?
Let’s get this out of the way: your microbiome doesn’t just impact your performance — it’s absolutely essential for it.
A healthy gut microbiome is crucial for efficient digestion and nutrient absorption, which directly affect energy levels, recovery, sleep, and overall performance. Until now, probiotic research has primarily focused on digestive balance. But microbiome scientists, like those at June Science, are starting to uncover the far-reaching effect the gut has on our systemic health. Now they've validated the specific strains that extend the benefits of
probiotics beyond digestive health.
At the same time, we’re also finding new ways to increase probiotic efficacy and developing even better ways to deliver them. It’s exciting stuff. And it means we’re able to offer formulations that are tailored to the unique needs of athletes and active individuals, with strains scientifically proven to support key areas associated with performance, wellness and fitness, ensuring you stay at the top of your game.
Our Process
As leaders in the field of probiotics, we believe in the power of science and innovation, combined with the wisdom of nature, to create the most effective probiotics for athletes and active individuals.
Our Certifications
Tested. Tasty
When it comes to probiotics, safety is just as important as efficacy. We make sure to tick both boxes, and then some.
Science Says
Intense, prolonged exercise has been shown to increase gut permeability which can potentially result in systemic toxemia
Recovery from muscle-damaging exercise is of key importance for all active individuals
Neurotransmitters play a part in the success, speed, and power athletes
During intense exercise, an inflammatory immune response is triggered, which can increase harmful reactive oxygen species and mechanical damage
Digestive issues are common among sportspeople
Optimal nutrient absorption is vital for active individuals looking to get the most out of their nutritional intake
Individuals with higher levels of strenuous activity are more prone to routine-breaking respiratory infections
Our Solution
We tackle increased gut permeability caused by rigorous exercise, especially in hot conditions. Our probiotics improve the gut-barrier function, mitigating systemic toxemia and promoting overall well-being among athletes.
Our solution leverages specific anti-inflammatory probiotics, aiding in a faster recovery from muscle-damaging workouts. Athletes experience reduced inflammation and improved recuperation, enhancing their performance capabilities
Our probiotic sachets contain strains that have been studied for their potential impact on mood regulation through the gut-brain axis. By supporting a balanced gut microbiota and potential serotonin production, our solution aims to contribute to improved mood and mental resilience, benefiting active individuals in their pursuit of overall well-being and peak performance.
70-80% of the immune system is located in the gut microbiome. Recognizing the gut's impact on immunity, our probiotics reinforce athletes' defense mechanisms. A healthier microbiome leads to improved immune resilience, safeguarding athletes from infections and illnesses even during periods of intense training and competition.
Digestive problems are prevalent in sports. Our probiotics provide tangible relief, ensuring athletes have optimal digestive health, allowing them to concentrate on training and excelling in their endeavors. Improved digestion also contributes to better nutrient absorption and overall vitality.
Our probiotic sachets enhance nutrient absorption, particularly amino acids from protein, and improve the utilization of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. This optimization supports athletes in achieving peak performance and maximizing the benefits of their diet.
Probiotics can reduce URTIs by their capacity to activate T- and B-Lymphocytes, increasing the secretion of Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), Immuno-globulin A (IgA), and IL-10 cytokines and suppressing the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-8). A reduction in URTIs and immune system improvements by probiotic supplementation could increase continuity in training, and therefore influence sports performance
Gut Questions?
Are there any side effects?
While most people tolerate probiotics well, some may experience mild side effects such as bloating, gas, or digestive discomfort when first starting the supplement. These symptoms typically subside as your body adjusts. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, it's recommended to stop use and consult with a healthcare professional.
How long does it take to see results?
Results can vary depending on the individual and their specific health conditions. Some users may start to notice improvements in digestion and energy levels within a day to a couple of weeks. For benefits related to immune support and overall well-being, it may take a few weeks to a couple of months of consistent use to see noticeable changes.
Do these dissolve in water?
No water is required. Our fastmelt sticks are designed to be enjoyed on-the-go, wherever you are! Simply pour the contents directly onto your tongue and the good bacteria will get straight to work.
Can I take these with food?
You can take June Science probiotics with or without food. However, taking them with a meal can enhance the absorption and efficacy of the probiotics, as the food provides a buffer that protects the probiotics from stomach acid, ensuring they reach the intestines where they can be most effective. We recommend aiming to take them at the same time each day.
What kind of testing do you do?
All our products undergo rigorous testing to ensure quality, safety, and efficacy. This includes testing for purity, potency, and the presence of active cultures. Additionally, each batch is tested for contaminants such as heavy metals, pathogens, and allergens.
