Metabolic Maintenance's Happy Belly was formulated in collaboration with MetaMetrix Labs to aid in restoring a normal balance of microorganisms to the GI tract. The ingredients are the ones found most effective for ridding the gut of harmful organisms based on stool sample analysis.

The power of the gastrointestinal (GI) microbiome over human health is becoming increasingly apparent. Over 500 different microorganisms have been identified from the human gut.

Beneficial microorganisms produce compounds including digestive enzymes and lactic acid that keep our bowels, and our body, functioning well.

Many pathogenic organisms also reside there, but will not overgrow and become a problem unless the bowel environment becomes imbalanced often by use of antibiotics. This is called dysbiosis. Dysbiosis can produce GI discomfort, and interfere with proper nutrition and immune function.
