01 — The Science

The gut is your athlete's second coach.

Scheiman et al. showed that in elite runners, Veillonella converts lactate into propionate, boosting endurance. Species like Faecalibacterium, Akkermansia and Prevotella are directly linked to muscle recovery, inflammation control and energy efficiency.

01
SCFA Production
Short-chain fatty acids fuel muscle metabolism and energy availability during long efforts.
02
Immune Modulation
A balanced microbiome reduces upper respiratory infection risk during heavy training blocks.
03
Gut–Brain Axis
Microbial metabolites directly affect stress tolerance, sleep depth and competition motivation.
04
Lactate Recycling
Veillonella converts muscle lactate into propionate — the endurance edge of elite runners.
02 — The Report
