The Science of Microbiome Balance™

Balance is something the body does. Our work is to support it.

Nearly three decades of study, and one conviction: when the body is properly supported, it has an extraordinary capacity to heal and thrive.

Prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics

Feed the good bacteria. Let them do what they were designed to do.

Your gut is home to trillions of microorganisms that help break down food, release nutrients, and communicate with systems throughout the body.

Three pieces work together to support that process.

Prebiotics
Plant fibers that feed the beneficial bacteria already living in your gut.
Probiotics
Beneficial bacteria that help support a balanced microbiome.
Postbiotics
Beneficial compounds those bacteria produce as they grow and interact with the food you eat.

BALANCE was designed to support the entire process. Its prebiotic fibers help feed the spore-based probiotics in the bag. Once those bacteria reach the gut, they can begin producing beneficial postbiotics of their own.

Prebiotics feed. Probiotics grow. Postbiotics are produced.

That relationship is intentional. We don’t simply add more ingredients to the scoop. We give the microbiome the tools it needs to do what it was designed to do.

Because balance is not something you simply consume. It is something your body creates.

What shifts the balance

Modern life is hard on a community that took millennia to form.

Processed food, stress, broken sleep, travel, illness and antibiotics all move the balance. So does something quieter: eating the same narrow set of foods week after week. A microbiome is only as varied as what it is fed.

None of that is a character failing. It is simply the world most families live in, and it is why supporting the microbiome is a daily practice rather than a one-time fix.

That is why we built BALANCE the way we did.

ProbioSEB CSC3™

Chosen for how they survive, how they work together, and how they keep.

Most probiotics on the shelf are fragile. They need refrigeration, and a large share of what survives the journey to your kitchen is destroyed by stomach acid before it ever reaches the gut, which is the only place it can do any good.

Survival

A spore survival strategy

The three premium strains in ProbioSEB CSC3™ are spore-forming. To enter dormancy each microbe encases itself in a tough natural shell and waits. Stomach acid does not penetrate it. It reactivates safely in the gut—exactly where it is meant to work.

Synergy

Three strains, three billion CFU

Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus coagulans and Bacillus clausii, chosen together rather than one strain doing the work alone. The blend comes with its own prebiotic fiber built in, and BALANCE adds more beyond that.

Stability

Shelf stable, by nature

The same shell that carries them through the stomach means no refrigeration, and no guessing how the bag was handled between our facility and your counter.

Each one brings something the others do not.

Bacillus subtilis

Once it reaches the gut it produces compounds that help hold harmful bacteria in check, and supports digestion and how well your body absorbs what you eat.

Bacillus coagulans

Helps the beneficial bacteria crowd out what does not belong, and supports comfortable, regular digestion.

Bacillus clausii

The one chosen for recovery. It withstands many common antibiotics, which is what makes it useful for rebuilding beneficial bacteria after a course of them.

Three complementary strains. Protected until they reach the gut. Supported by the prebiotic fibers around them.

That is why ProbioSEB CSC3™ is in BALANCE.

The whole-food ingredients in LIVEDEN BALANCE: kale, spinach, broccoli, carrot, beet, blueberry, papaya, pineapple, wheatgrass, artichoke, ginger, peas, sunflower seeds, shiitake and reishi mushrooms, and spirulina

The Science of Microbiome Balance™

What you eat matters. What your body can do with it matters more.

The body does not run on one system at a time. It runs on several at once, each depending on the others, which is why BALANCE supports six of them together. Open any area below to see what is in it and why it is there.

Antioxidants and superfoodsWhole-food greens, fruits and vegetables, concentrated into one scoop.

Antioxidants are the compounds in colorful plants that help the body manage oxidative stress, the ordinary wear that comes from living, breathing and moving through the world.*

We did not choose one or two. BALANCE draws from more than twenty whole-food sources, because variety is what a plant-based diet is supposed to look like and what the microbiome responds to best.

In BALANCE: Pea protein, organic spirulina, pineapple juice powder, wheat grass juice powder, chlorella, barley grass, organic broccoli, organic broccoli sprout, organic tomato, organic carrot, organic spinach, organic kale, papaya, beet root, rose hips, bilberry fruit, blueberry, dandelion root, monk fruit, kelp whole plant powder, burdock root.

Muscle and lean tissueTen grams of complete plant protein, from two whole-food sources.

Protein is what the body uses to build and maintain lean tissue. Complete protein means all nine essential amino acids are present, the ones the body cannot make on its own and has to get from food.

Plant proteins are often incomplete on their own. Pea protein and organic spirulina together supply all nine, which is why BALANCE uses both rather than leaning on one.

In BALANCE: Pea protein, organic spirulina.

Gut health and digestionPrebiotic fiber, three spore-forming strains, and the enzymes that help you use what you eat.

This is the heart of the product. Prebiotic fiber feeds the bacteria already living in your gut, and the three spore-forming strains in ProbioSEB CSC3™ join them.

Digestive enzymes and supportive botanicals round it out, helping the body break down what it is given so the nutrients are available to absorb.*

In BALANCE: Organic spirulina, inulin, sunflower lecithin, pineapple juice powder, slippery elm, ginger, astragalus, reishi mushroom, shiitake mushroom, burdock root, artichoke leaf powder, dandelion, and three billion CFU of ProbioSEB CSC3™: Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus coagulans, Bacillus clausii.

Blood sugar and energySupports healthy blood sugar levels, with no added sugar.*

BALANCE contains no added sugar and is sweetened only with monk fruit, which carries no glycemic impact. Ten grams of protein and whole-food fiber give the body something steadier to work with than sugar alone.

Energy here means nourishment rather than stimulation. There is nothing in BALANCE that pushes the body. Nothing synthetic, and no caffeine.

In BALANCE: Pea protein, organic spirulina, sunflower lecithin, dandelion root, monk fruit.

Immune and nervous systemA whole-food vitamin and mineral complex, with folate as 5-MTHF.

Much of the immune system lives in and around the gut, which is one of the reasons microbiome balance matters as much as it does.*

The vitamins and minerals in BALANCE come from whole-food sources rather than synthetic isolates. The folate is 5-MTHF from citrus lemon, the methylated form, rather than synthetic folic acid.

In BALANCE: Organic spirulina, wheat grass juice powder, barley grass, chlorella, artichoke leaf, organic broccoli, organic broccoli sprout, organic tomato, organic carrot, bilberry fruit, organic spinach, organic kale, rose hips, papaya fruit, beet root, reishi mushroom, shiitake mushroom, burdock root, blueberry, pineapple juice powder, astragalus root, dandelion root, ginger root, slippery elm, kelp, beta-carotene (vitamin A), vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin K, thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), vitamin B6, folate (5-MTHF from citrus lemon extract), pantothenic acid, calcium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, Bacillus coagulans, Bacillus clausii, Bacillus subtilis, and Inland Sea Mineral Complex.

Adaptogens, hormones and cognitionAdaptogen and hormone support, from mushrooms and botanicals.*

Adaptogens are plants traditionally used to help the body cope with everyday stress. Reishi and shiitake mushrooms and astragalus root have long histories of use, and they sit alongside the gut ingredients here for a reason.*

The gut and the brain are in constant communication, which is why the same strains that appear in the digestion section appear again in this one.

In BALANCE: Sunflower lecithin, astragalus root, reishi mushroom, shiitake mushroom, Bacillus coagulans, Bacillus clausii, Bacillus subtilis.
