TrueForm Health
Introducing TrueForm Health, the newest member of our Ethical Lifestyle Hub. We have a wide range of members; we love finding out how their business got started and a bit about themselves and their products, what makes them ethical or sustainable.
TrueForm Health’s Journey
We are a science-based organisation with extensive experience in microbiology, biochemistry and the life-sciences industries. The idea of TrueForm began just over two years ago with the aim of creating a superpowered health supplement by combining probiotics and prebiotics with essential vitamins and minerals.
At TrueForm we understand the critical influence that our gut microbiome has over the rest of our body, particularly the influence over our gut-brain axis which promotes whole body and mind health.
Information On The Products & Why They’re Important
Trueform is a scientifically formulated 4 in 1 Supplement. Through extensive research, we’ve selected a blend of probiotics, prebiotics and essential vitamins and minerals which deliver a daily boost to your overall health in one unique combination. Trueform products strengthen the immune system and optimise whole body and mind health.
We have three products:
1. Daily Boost Premium
2. Daily Boost Essential
3. Daily Boost Cranberry
Daily Boost Premium and Daily Boost Essential contain two very well researched probiotics:
· Bifidobacterium Animalis Lactis (Hansen BB-12)
· Lactobacillus Acidophilus (Hansen LA-5)
We chose Hansen because they provide extensive evidence-based research support for their probiotics. We know that good quality probiotics have many benefits for whole-body health, including the absorption of essential nutrients. We also know that prebiotics creates the best possible environment for probiotics to flourish. Add a mix of essential vitamins and minerals, and you are giving your body that daily boost it needs all in one sachet
How are TrueForm Health’s products both sustainable and ethical?
We source all of our ingredients from companies that are globally well renowned and have exemplary quality systems and rigorous testing of ingredients. Our ingredients do not contain artificial colours or preservatives. There are also no animal sources in the products and no animal testing making our product Vegan!
Our packaging is also recyclable.
What is the current environment life in the health community?
The community is turning more and more towards ethical and well-researched supplements. In particular, there is extensive research on the influence our microbiome has on our whole-body health and well-being.
Are there any other lifestyle factors that affect our health, and how can TureForm Health’s product combat this?
We know that western diets are not ideal, which can lead to dysbiosis (gut out of balance). There is a growing need for scientifically based probiotics and prebiotics with essential vitamins and minerals. Our research tells us that our Daily Boost combination can positively impact gut-brain health.
What is our microbiome, and what impact does it have on our health?
Trillions of tiny microbes exist mainly inside your intestines and on your skin. Most of the microbes in your intestines are found in a "pocket" of your large intestine called the cecum, and they are referred to as the gut microbiome. What's more, there are up to 1,000 species of bacteria in the human gut microbiome, and each of them plays a different role in your body. Most of them are extremely important for your health, while others may cause disease.
It is well understood now that there is a direct and critical connection between the health of your gut microbiome and your overall health and wellbeing. There is now exciting research seeking to understand the exact mechanisms at play, but it has been established that a “healthy gut is the engine to a healthy body”. For more information in this area, read GUT by Giulia Enders.
Findings published in the journal 'Nature' report that scientists have discovered that resident bacteria of the intestine, collectively known as the gut microbiome, can influence our ability to overcome fear. This research focused on the vagus nerve, which is something of a direct signalling superhighway between the gut and the brain, now known as the gut-brain axis. There are now some 20 human studies that have confirmed that the profile of our gut microbiome has an important role in our stress, anxiety and mood. Accumulating clinical evidence suggests that probiotics can modulate the stress response and improve mood and anxiety symptoms in patients with chronic fatigue and irritable bowel syndrome. One such organism studied is Lactobacillus Rhamnosus.
What are probiotics, and why are they important?
Simply put, probiotics are live microorganisms that live in your gut. While a lot of people think that microorganisms — especially the bacteria variety — are harmful to your health, probiotics are actually there to provide health benefits. But sometimes, you need a little boost from outside sources in order to secure those benefits, which is why a lot of experts recommend getting an extra hit of probiotics either through certain fermented foods or via a daily probiotics supplement. Probiotics have been known to restore good gut bacteria, prevent urinary tract infections, strengthen immunity, boost digestion, improve brain health and promote overall wellbeing.
How do TrueForm’s products promote and support a healthier gut?
Trueform probiotics are specifically designed to optimize your gut microbiome over time, giving you a daily boost. Our selected probiotics progressively displace the “bad” bacteria in your gut and sustain a healthier gut balance over time. We know it takes around three months for this displacement to take full effect. We boost this transformation by including specific pre-biotics designed to selectively promote the good bacteria and therefore overcome the “bad” bacteria. In addition, we have added some essential vitamins and minerals to really boost your well-being.
TrueForm's owners have over 45 years of experience in the biopharmaceutical industry in the fields of biochemistry, microbiology, quality and industry consulting. Our unique backgrounds enable us to design and develop scientifically sound formulations, dose presentations and quality assure our ingredients and manufacturing programs to the highest international standards.
