Meluka Australia has released the first postbiotic tonic on the Australian market, the P3 Gut Builder.

The new Triple Action Postbiotic Tonic is a wellbeing booster, formulated with Meluka’s exclusive Lactobacillus rhamnosus Beebiotic probiotic strain, plus seven multi strain probiotics, with the power to rapidly boost gut health.

Made from a slow fermentation process of prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics it is designed to produce beneficial bioactive compounds that are ready for direct and fast delivery to the gut in support of good gut health and wellbeing.

Meluka Australia founder and CEO Ben Rohr said that the Lactobacillus rhamnosus Beebiotic probiotic was a ‘real gamechanger’ in the probiotic space.

“Derived from beehives on our organic farm in the Bungawalbin Valley in Northern NSW, this strain was studied by our scientists for years and has been linked with well-known studies to increase gut microbial diversity.

“With our P3 Gut Builder, the postbiotics are bio-fermented outside the body, allowing for the immediate delivery of these beneficial metabolites to your body for health benefits such as reducing inflammation, regulating the acid balance in the GI tract, directly fighting pathogens, regulating digestion and absorption of nutrients, detoxification, regulating the immune system, gut-brain communication, and much much more,” said Rohr.

Meluka Australia Dietician and Consulting Dietitian Chloe McLeod said research had showed that postbiotics could provide the benefits of probiotics and prebiotics almost immediately.

“While adding probiotics and prebiotics to your diet can help you nurture your gut flora over time, emerging research is showing us that postbiotics can help to provide these benefits almost immediately. With the link between gut health and overall wellbeing being documented in studies worldwide, the postbiotic tonic will provide a new way to assist in balancing the microbiome.”

The Lactobacillus rhamnosus Beebiotic strain is linked to several health benefits including:

  • Improved mood;
  • helping to regulate weight;
  • increasing microbial diversity;
  • reducing stress;
  • improving skin barrier function;
  • improving IBS symptoms;
  • aiding metabolic health. 

Meluka Australia’s P3 Gut Builder is available now online at an RRP of $55.00.
