6 Powerful Uses of Braxis Explained
The gut, also known as the gastrointestinal tract, is a complex system responsible for digesting food, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating waste. But it does much more than that — it's also home to trillions of microbes that play a key role in immunity, metabolism, and even brain function. Home to various strains of micro-organisms, the human gut is like a garden teeming with diverse insects. Just as insects find food and shelter in the garden while contributing to its health and balance, gut microbes thrive within us, aiding digestion, supporting immunity, and promoting overall well-being.
Understanding the Gut-Brain Axis:
While the role of gut in the digestive system is undeniably important, it also works in synergy with one of the most important organs in the body: the brain. This is known as the Gut-brain Axis.
The gut-brain axis is the two-way communication system between your gut and your brain. This connection involves a complex network of nerves (especially the vagus nerve), hormones, and chemical messengers like neurotransmitters.
Your gut is home to trillions of microbes—collectively known as the gut microbiota—which help regulate digestion, immunity, and even mental health. These microbes produce substances like serotonin, dopamine, and GABA, which influence mood, stress, and behavior.
The brain sends signals to the gut (like during stress or anxiety), and the gut can send signals back (affecting how you feel). This constant conversation plays a major role in conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), depression, anxiety, and even cognitive decline.
What is Braxis?
Braxis is a psychobiotic , a class of probiotics, known for affecting mood and behavior by influencing the gut-brain axis. Braxis contains strains of the two very important micro-organism called Lactobacillus helveticus & Bifidobacterium longum. Both of these microbial strains make a powerful blend that provides immense benefits for both gut and brain.
Braxis uses for Brain health
1-Reduce stress and anxiety
Braxis helps the body adapt to stress by modulating key biological pathways involved in the stress response. Its ingredients work to balance stress hormones and reduce the physical and mental impact of chronic stress. In fact, a study by Messaoudi et al. (2010) demonstrated a 44% reduction in the cycle of everyday and general stress, highlighting the clinically backed effectiveness of the formulation. By promoting a calmer, more resilient state, Braxis supports emotional well-being and helps prevent stress-related fatigue.
2-Help Keep Stress Hormones in Balance
Cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone, plays a crucial role in energy regulation and mood stability. Braxis supports the maintenance of healthy cortisol levels, helping to keep them within a normal range throughout the day. This balance can prevent the highs and lows associated with adrenal dysregulation and contributes to more sustained mental clarity and physical energy.
3-Improves mood, focus and cognitive performance
Neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and GABA are essential for mood, focus, and cognitive performance. Braxis provides key nutrients and cofactors that support the body’s natural synthesis of these brain chemicals and their precursors. By optimizing neurotransmitter production, Braxis helps promote emotional balance, improved concentration, and overall brain function.
Braxis uses for gut health
1-Reduce bloating, nausea and vomiting
Digestive discomfort such as bloating, nausea, and vomiting can significantly impact daily life. Braxis contains targeted ingredients that help soothe the digestive tract and support normal gastrointestinal function. In a clinical study by Diop et al. (2008), participants reported a 25.9% improvement in overall intestinal comfort and an 8% reduction in nausea and vomiting, demonstrating Braxis’s effectiveness in promoting digestive relief. These benefits make it especially useful during times of dietary stress or sensitivity.
2-Maintaining normal gut micro-flora
A healthy gut microbiome is vital for digestion, immune defense, and overall wellness. Braxis helps maintain a balanced gut micro-flora by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria and limiting harmful strains. This microbial balance supports efficient nutrient absorption, regular bowel movements, and a stronger immune response.
3-Protecting intestinal barrier
The intestinal barrier acts as the body’s frontline defense against toxins, pathogens, and undigested food particles. Braxis supports the integrity of this barrier by strengthening tight junctions and reducing inflammation. This helps prevent "leaky gut" and maintains proper nutrient absorption while lowering the risk of gut-related immune issues.
Key takeaway:
The use of psychobiotics to improve symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress is a fairly new field with the healthcare realm but it poses immense potential. Genetics Wellness embraced this new trajectory by introducing Braxis, Pakistan's first psychobiotic for gut and brain health. Available in both sachet and capsule formulation, Braxis is a must-have for anyone who wants to experience the power of psychobiotics in modulating the gut-brain axis.
