Helicobacter pylori, or H. pylori, is a common bacterium that impacts gut health, often causing inflammation and digestive issues. H. pylori risk is associated with a range of gastrointestinal health factors. (source, source)
The presence of Helicobacter pylori can cause gastrointestinal inflammation and digestive issues, which may lead to reduced nutrient absorption and decreased energy levels, compromising physical performance. Effective management of H. pylori can promote gut health, improving secondary gut functions and nutrient uptake, ultimately enhancing energy levels and overall performance and recovery.
Supplement with Mastic Gum: Mastic gum has been shown to have antibacterial properties. (source) The major acids in mastic gum have been identified as potent agents against H. pylori. These acids exhibit significant bactericidal activity, effectively reducing H. pylori colonization in the stomach. (source) Recommendation: Supplement with at least 2 g of mastic gum daily.
Supplement with Zinc Carnosine: Zinc carnosine is associated with decreased H. pylori risk. (source) Zinc carnosine protects the gastric mucosa, reduces inflammation, and enhances the efficacy of standard therapies, which aids in the reduction of H. pylori. (source) Recommendation: Supplement with at least 5 mg of zinc daily.
