The Role of Microbiota and Tryptophan
The intestinal microbiota plays a fundamental role in the metabolism of tryptophan (TRP). In epileptic patients, an altered microbiota can cause a TRP deficiency, leading to a reduced production of serotonin. Lalbaay Monophasic aims to restore a correct balance of the microbiota, promoting the metabolism of TRP and its brain uptake. This process is essential to ensure optimal production of serotonin, known for its anti-convulsant properties and its positive effect on the regulation of epileptic seizures.
The Ingredients and Their Function
Alpha-Lactalbumin
A whey protein that, thanks to its specific actions on the digestive system, can increase the speed of synthesis of brain serotonin. This protein is able to modify the intestinal microbiota and increase the production of neuropeptide Y, a powerful endogenous anticonvulsant.
Butyric Acid (Sodium Butyrate)
One of the short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) that has an anti-inflammatory effect and contributes to the proper functioning of the intestinal mucosa. Butyric acid has demonstrated anticonvulsant effects, positively influencing both the frequency of seizures and neuropsychiatric disorders.
Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and Inulin
Substances that act as prebiotics, nourish the cells of the digestive system and improve the metabolism of the precursors of tryptophan and serotonin. These components regulate the functionality of the gut-brain axis.
How Does Lalbaay Monophasic Work?
The synergistic association between alpha-lactalbumin and butyric acid allows to act effectively on the gut-brain axis. Alpha-lactalbumin helps to modify the microbiota and improve the metabolism of tryptophan, increasing the synthesis of serotonin and neuropeptide Y, which has anticonvulsant effects. Butyric acid also plays a fundamental role in maintaining the gastrointestinal ecosystem, promoting the reduction of epileptic seizures and the control of neuropsychiatric disorders.
