Question 1

What is your gut microbiome and why is it important?

Accepted Answer

Your gut microbiome includes all the microbes, or tiny little microorganisms, that live inside your gastrointestinal (GI) tract—trillions, in fact! There are more microbes in your GI tract than actual human cells. Think of these little microbes as members of a large army inside your body. Some are fighting to keep you healthy, but there are some “bad” ones, too. It’s this balancing act of good and bad bacteria that we want to support so that you feel your best.

Question 2

What are prebiotics, and how do they work?

Accepted Answer

Prebiotics are non-digestible nutrients that help your intestinal microbiome thrive. They cause positive changes in the composition and activity of gastrointestinal bacteria. Prebiotics are essentially specialized nutrients that support the microbes in your gut—especially the beneficial ones. Just like a healthy fertilizer provides nutrients to help a plant grow, prebiotics are healthy nutrients to help good bacteria thrive. Prebiotics mainly come from dietary fiber from some fruits, vegetables, and grains, but because many people don’t get enough of these special nutrients from their regular diet, supplementation can be beneficial.

Question 3

What are postbiotics, and how do they work?

Accepted Answer

Postbiotics are less widely known than prebiotics. They are unique substances that have been produced by bacteria and have a beneficial effect, even after the bacteria themselves are no longer alive. Postbiotics are a new area of cuttingedge research focused not on the live bacteria, but rather the health benefits of the compounds produced by bacteria. In Nu Biome, the postbiotic is a heat-treated bacteria (meaning the bacteria are no longer alive) that maintains the beneficial substances produced by the bacteria.

Question 4

How do prebiotics and postbiotics work together to support your intestinal microbiome?

Accepted Answer

Both prebiotics and postbiotics are good for your gut health, but they work in different ways. Prebiotics provide fuel to support the growth and activity of beneficial bacteria. Postbiotics provide compounds that have additional health benefits beyond balancing good and bad bacteria. Both play an important role in supporting your intestinal microbiome, which is why Nu Biome uses a powerful dual-action approach.

Question 5

How much caffeine is in Nu Biome Nu Skin?

Accepted Answer

There are 50 mg of caffeine per serving—the same amount as about half a cup of regular coffee.

Question 6

What is the main difference between Nu Biome and Digestive Formula or ProBio PCC?

Accepted Answer

Nu Biome Gut Drink can be used in addition to both Digestive Formula and ProBio PCC. Digestive Formula is a mealtime supplement that contains digestive enzymes and other ingredients to help break down food and provide digestive support*. ProBio PCC is a unique probiotic—a living beneficial microorganism that is shown to colonize in the gut to help support your wellness, providing complementary support for a healthy microbiome.* But only Nu Biome Gut Drink provides prebiotics to fuel the growth of beneficial bacteria and postbiotics with specific compounds to further support more long-term health.* These Pharmanex products can each be taken on their own for their unique targeted digestive benefits or together for more comprehensive support.*

Question 7

Do I need to take probiotics along with Pharmanex Nu Biome to receive health benefits?

Accepted Answer

No, you can take NuBiome and receive all the benefits of this great product without probiotics. The ingredients in NuBiome are clinically proven to provide benefits on their own.* However, adding a probiotic to your daily routine would provide separate benefits to your nutrition that are unique to this species of bacteria. Postbiotics, prebiotics, and probiotics are each different but complementary to each other.

Question 8

What lifestyle choices influence my gut microbiome?

Accepted Answer

There are many factors that can affect your gut microbiome for better or worse, including your diet, activity level, stress, travel, infections, medications, and alcohol intake. If you want to do more to promote a healthy gut microbiome, in addition to taking Nu Biome* once daily, you should try eating a diet rich in fiber (including lots of fruits and vegetables), limiting tobacco and alcohol use, and engaging in regular exercise

Question 9

What is the best time to take Nu Biome?

Accepted Answer

The best time to take Nu Biome is whenever it is easiest for you! Consistency matters more than time of day. You can also take Nu Biome with or without food—whichever way is more convenient for you.

Question 10

How does Nu Biome Drink support the antioxidant network?

Accepted Answer

Nu Biome contains a standardized whole fruit extract of Pomegranate that provides a high concentration of polyphenols to support your antioxidant defense against oxidative stressors. Antioxidants work together in the body – that’s why they are referred to as a network. These antioxidants help to combat and neutralize a wide range of free radicals. Polyphenols are part of this network to support our antioxidant defenses.

Question 11

Why does Nu Biome contain caffeine?

Accepted Answer

Although the focus of the product is the microbiome and digestive health, we wanted to include caffeine as a healthy source of energy to help people feel a difference. The digestive health benefits may take some time to be realized, so the immediate energy benefit of caffeine may help motivate consumers to continue taking the product.

Question 12

Is Nu Biome safe for children?

Accepted Answer

Nu Biome Drink is formulated for adults ages 18+. We have not done studies on the effects of Nu Biome on children. Due to the caffeine content, please consult a physician before giving Nu Biome to a minor

Question 13

What are the sources of XOS and BPL1?

Accepted Answer

XOS is derived from corn cob. BPL1 was originally isolated from healthy humans and is produced through a carefully controlled fermentation process.

Question 14

Does Nu Biome help with leaky gut, IBS, IBD, gout, Chron’s, or other medical conditions?

Accepted Answer

Although Pharmanex products are carefully formulated to be safe and effective when used as directed, they are not intended to be used to diagnose, treat, or cure any disease or medical condition. Individuals with medical conditions are advised to consult a physician before using Nu Biome or before starting any new dietary supplement.

Question 15

Can I take Nu Biome and ProBio PCC together?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Nu Biome Microbiome Support Drink and ProBio PCC are great to take together. ProBio PCC is a living beneficial microorganism that colonizes in the gut to support your wellness, providing complementary support for a healthy microbiome. Nu Biome provides a powerful prebiotic that promotes beneficial bacteria in the gut to support a healthy microbiome and improved intestinal health. These products can each be taken on their own for their unique targeted digestive benefits or together for more comprehensive support.

Question 16

What is the difference between ageLOC Meta, ProBio PCC, and Nu Biome Drink?

Accepted Answer

ageLOC Meta provides anthocyanins that help promote a healthy microbiome and ultimately help support metabolic health. ProBio PCC contains living beneficial microorganisms that colonize in the gut to support a protective immune response. Nu Biome provides a powerful prebiotic that promotes beneficial bacteria in the gut to support a healthy microbiome and improved intestinal health. All three of these products can be taken together or individually depending on the desired results.

Question 17

What are some of the limitations of probiotics?

Accepted Answer

Not all probiotics are created equal. Probiotics can be beneficial, but they also have some key limitations. Certain factors can limit the viability of a probiotic, including the acidity of the product, the presence of other bacteria, processing and storage conditions, and resiliency of the probiotic strain. Resilience refers to its ability to colonize the gut after passing through the acidic environment of the stomach. Additionally, to be effective, probiotics need to have excellent stability throughout the shelf life

Question 18

If I already take a probiotic, do I need to take Nu Biome too?

Accepted Answer

Probiotics work through a different mechanism than the ingredients in Nu Biome. A highquality probiotic (one that has excellent stability throughout its shelf life, survives passage through the acidic environment of the stomach, colonizes in the lower digestive tract, and is backed by clinical studies) provides beneficial bacteria that confer health benefits by colonizing in the gut. Nu Biome Microbiome Support Drink works by providing prebiotics that act as fuel to support the growth and activity of beneficial bacteria that are already present in your gut, along with postbiotics that have additional health benefits beyond balancing good and bad bacteria. We highly recommend pairing Nu Biome to your current routine for all the added benefits that come from this formula—even if you are already taking a probiotic.

Question 19

Why does Nu Biome contain citric acid?

Accepted Answer

Citric acid is used as a pH adjuster. It also improves the flavor of the product by adding tartness.

Question 20

What are some food sources of prebiotics?

Accepted Answer

Prebiotics can be found in foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. Some specific examples of more common foods that contain prebiotics include garlic, onion, leeks, asparagus, bananas, barley, oats, apples, and flaxseeds. However, the concentration of prebiotics in foods is usually quite low, so supplementation is a great way to increase prebiotic intake.

Question 21

Can I take more than one packet of Nu Biome per day?

Accepted Answer

Nu Biome Drink is formulated to provide all the health benefits with just one packet per day. However, it is safe to take two packets of Nu Biome per day if you desire.

Question 22

What is the source of caffeine in Nu Biome Drink?

Accepted Answer

The caffeine in Nu Biome can come from green tea or coffee beans.

Question 23

How do pre- and postbiotics affect energy level?

Accepted Answer

The energy benefits from Nu Biome primarily come from the caffeine. However, some individuals may also find they have more energy when they are supporting healthy digestion and a healthy balance of good and bad bacteria in their gut microbiome.

Question 24

Does Nu Biome contain MSG or natural flavors?

Accepted Answer

Nu Biome does not contain MSG. It does contain natural raspberry, watermelon, and lemonade flavors, which help give Nu Biome its delicious flavor.

Question 25

Does Nu Biome contain any live bacteria?

Accepted Answer

No, Nu Biome does not contain any live bacteria. Instead, it contains a postbiotic called hk-BPL1, which is a heat-treated bacteria that provides health benefits even though it is no longer alive

Question 26

Is Nu Biome safe for individuals with raspberry, watermelon, or lemon allergies?

Accepted Answer

If an individual has a specific allergy to raspberry, watermelon, or lemon, then we would not recommend they take Nu Biome.
