ALLY N°1

Gut-brain probiotics for improved mental health

Mindbiotics™ is a blend of the most well-researched probiotic strains for mental wellbeing. Unique to Ally and shown to reduce biomarkers of stress and significantly improve feelings of stress and anxiety.

Gut bacteria produce key hormones and neurotransmitters such as γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), serotonin, dopamine and acetylcholine and 'speak' with both the enteric nervous system (the nervous system of the gut) and the brain through a shared line of communication often referred to as the microbiota-gut-brain axis.

Ally's bacterial strains are naturally fermented and demonstrated to survive the GI tract.

Active ingredient: Apocarotenoids

Apocarotenoids are natural bioactives in saffron, shown to improve mood in healthy adults experiencing stress, tension and feelings of anxiety. They support the balance of key mood-regulating neurotransmitters and help facilitate neuroplasticity (the brain's ability to flex and change).

Ally's apocarotenoid-rich saffron is harvested from the Castilla-La-Mancha region in Spain and undergoes a patented cold extraction method to preserve maximum amount of actives.

Active ingredient: Anthocyanins

Nordic bilberries contain one of the most well-researched polyphenols for mental wellbeing - anthocyanins. A strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, anthocyanins have shown to increase tryptophan availability in the body (the 'raw material' of the 'happy hormone' serotonin) and support healthy serotonin levels.

In a recent study, participants felt significantly less anxious, more alert and less fatigued after consuming anthocyanins.

Active ingredient: Nobiletin

A citrus bioflavonoid, nobiletin is a powerful antioxidant and mental fatigue aid. Rather than being a direct stimulant, nobiletin supports the body's own energetic processes by promoting mitochondrial health (the powerhouses of our cells) and the formation of the body’s universal energy form adenosine triphosphate (ATP) - essential for mental energy and stamina.

Active ingredient: Resveratrol

Native to eastern Japan and one of the richest natural sources of the most bioavailable form of resveratrol - trans-resveratrol.

Part of the polyphenol group, (trans)resveratrol helps improve your tolerance to stress by regulating the body's stress response system: the HPA-axis. Resveratrol has consistently shown to normalise the activation of the HPA-axis, curb its overactivity and support healthy cortisol levels.

The power of a well-formulated supplement.

One of the main benefits of a well formulated supplement is the multitude of synergies you gain from the combination of nutrients.

Nobiletin is a prime example. Whilst powerful on its own, it helps increase the abundance of the bacteria in the gut that are good for your mind, mood and anxiety levels - the very same probiotic strains that are part of Ally's Mindbiotics™.
