Antibiotic Support
Antibiotic Support resource 1
When taking antibiotics, the use of probiotics can be beneficial to help maintain or restore a healthy gut microbiome. Antibiotics are known to disrupt the balance of beneficial bacteria in the gut, which can lead to side effects such as diarrhea or a higher risk of infections. The below strains and species have been studied and are commonly recommended to support gut health during and after antibiotic use: Lactobacillus Strains: These strains can help reduce antibiotic-associated diarrhea and may help maintain the integrity of the gut barrier. Bifidobacterium Strains: Bifidobacterium species can help restore the gut flora and may also reduce the duration of antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Saccharomyces boulardii Type: This is a non-bacterial probiotic, a yeast that has been shown to be effective against C. diff infections and antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Benefits: S. boulardii can survive antibiotic treatment and help to maintain or restore the natural balance of the intestinal flora.

Sleep Support
2 more items in Sleep Support
The supplements listed are commonly used to support sleep through various mechanisms: Melaton-3 (Thorne) : Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced by the pineal gland in the brain that helps regulate the sleep-wake cycle. Supplementing with melatonin can help adjust the body's internal clock, such as treating sleep disorders like insomnia or overcoming jet lag. 5-Hydroxytryptophan (Thorne): The serotonin levels in the body are associated with the regulation of sleep, mood, and appetite. A balanced serotonin level has been shown to support restful sleep, good mood, and decreased sugar cravings. Niacinamide (Thorne): Niacinamide has multiple positive functions in the body, including supporting restful sleep and healthy joint and skin. Niacinamide has been found to stimulate neurotransmitter receptors in the brain, without binding to the receptor sites, which creates a calming, sedative-like effect. These supplements may help improve sleep quality and duration, as well as ease the process of falling asleep. However, it's important to note that the timing of intake might be important, particularly for melatonin and 5-HTP, which are often recommended to be taken in the evening or before bedtime.  When you order in our online store Fullscript will ship the products directly to your door.

Metformin Support
Metformin Support resource 1
Metformin Support resource 2
Hi there, Long-term use of metformin has been associated with decreased absorption of vitamin B12 and, in some cases, can lead to a deficiency in this essential nutrient. Folate (vitamin B9) is another important B vitamin that works closely with vitamin B12 in many bodily processes. Since B12 and folate are interdependent in several metabolic pathways, combined supplementation can be beneficial, especially for individuals with diabetes or those at risk for cardiovascular disease.
