Among the mechanisms, our research group and others have demonstrated that the gut microbiota fermentation (i.e., bacterial digestion of specific compounds) of specific prebiotics or other non-digestible carbohydrates is associated with the secretion of enteroendocrine peptides, such as the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and peptide YY (PYY), produced by L-cells
For autoimmune patients whose conditions have a gut component, which includes most of them to varying degrees, the local gut effects of GLP-1 receptor activation may contribute to systemic immune improvement
What is GLP-UP designed to support
Protein helps your body build muscle and increases your metabolism, allowing you to burn calories faster
The concept is similar to how multiple pathways are addressed in comprehensive wellness research with peptides, such as those discussed in Adaptive Capacity and Peptide Mapping
