Uplift Food has introduced Daily Uplifter, an allergen-free, powdered mix-in packed with gut-nourishing prebiotics, which is dietitian-formulated to improve gut health and, by extension, mood.
 
Maintaining a balanced intestinal ecosystem does more than just impact digestive health. Research suggests 90% of mood elevating serotonin is found within the gut (Yano, Jessica M. et al. Cell, 2015) and when gut flora is thrown out of balance due to poor diet, medications and stress, it can lead to decreases in nutrient absorption from healthy foods, increase inflammatory markers within the body, and influence mood (Roberfroid, et al. British Journal of Nutrition, 2010).
 
Consumers have come to understand the role of probiotics on gut health however it’s less widely known that living probiotics need to be “fed” to be effective. Prebiotics are fuel for probiotics. The two most effective types of prebiotics that fuel the growth of good bacteria in the gut are soluble fiber and resistant starch. Unfortunately, it’s estimated that Western populations consume less than 25% of the advised intake (Van Loo J et al. Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, 1995).  
 
Uplift Food’s Daily Uplifter is a dietitian-formulated powder with whole food-derived nutrients in significant levels that are supported by science to have a positive benefit on the body. 
 
Each 25g serving of vanilla Daily Uplifter provides 5g of prebiotic soluble fiber from organic Jerusalem artichoke, 2g of prebiotic resistant starch from green banana flour (which is 38% resistant starch), 10g of protein, 50% of the RDA of vitamin D from organic high vitamin D mushrooms, and 1 billion CFU probiotics.
 
In addition to supplying valuable key mood supportive nutrients, Daily Uplifter is non-GMO and free of common allergens to suit an abundance of specialty diets, including gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free and vegan. Daily Uplifter also contains less than 1 gram of naturally occurring sugars, no artificial ingredients, and provides less than 90 calories per serving. It can easily be blended into smoothies and shakes or sprinkled onto breakfast cereals, delivering a tasty way to enjoy a significant dose of beneficial nutrients.
