Article: More Energy, Vigor, and Happy Mood. The Beta Glucan Synbiotic

More Energy, Vigor, and Happy Mood. The Beta Glucan Synbiotic

Happiness and Energy are two ingredients that are highly prized commodities, and oftentimes in short supply. 

I laughed out loud when I was watching The West Wing, and one of the characters, Toby Ziegler, who is cynical, gloomy, and brilliant, said "happiness is my default position." I had to write it down. 

Particular nutrients though, can certainly elevate your state of being. You may be thinking about chocolate or sugar, but that is a temporary high, and the low is even deeper.

According to recent research, the miracle and goodness of Beta Glucans is notorious:  these precious gluten free oat fibers not only raise your energy and vigor, but also uplift your good (Muroya, 2025).

Vigor goes beyond energy - it is also about vitality and mental strength. The ability to  function with more power in your body and mind. 

There is more. Our Beta Glucan Synbiotic also has potent red beet root for liver and blood vessels health, as well as prebiotics and probiotics for a thriving microbiome. 

One heaping tablespoon a day. Mix in water, juice, or your protein shake.

Enjoy!

Yours As Always,

Dohrea Bardell, PhD
