Mental Health Starts in the Gut: Why We Support Biome Elevate™ by Activated Probiotics®
Supporting the Gut-Brain Connection with Clinically Studied Probiotics
Mental health conversations are evolving, and so is the science. While awareness is growing around stress, sleep, and emotional well-being, fewer people realize that one of the most influential players in our mental health lives quietly in our gut: the microbiome.
At Ecotrend, we’re proud to partner with Activated Probiotics®, a brand that’s redefining probiotic science through precision, clinical research, and purpose-built formulations. Their product, Biome Elevate™, is a standout example, designed to target psychological well-being and sleep quality through the gut-brain axis.
Here’s how Biome Elevate™ is helping practitioners take a truly whole-body approach to mental wellness.
The Gut-Brain Axis: A Two-Way Street of Mental Health
The connection between the gut and the brain is more than just a trend, it’s one of the most researched areas in integrative health. Known as the gut-brain axis, this system allows communication between the digestive tract and the central nervous system via neurotransmitters, the vagus nerve, immune signals, and even gut bacteria.
Disruptions in the gut microbiome are now being linked to a range of mental health concerns, from low mood and poor sleep to chronic fatigue and heightened stress. This is why gut care is becoming central to mental health support.
What Makes Biome Elevate™ Different?
Most probiotics offer general benefits like “immune support” or “digestive health.” But Activated Probiotics® takes a different approach: every product is built around strain-specific clinical evidence.
Biome Elevate™ contains four precisely selected probiotic strains studied for their impact on mood, fatigue, and sleep quality:
- Bifidobacterium longum 04
- Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus LR06
- Lactiplantibacillus plantarum LP01
- Limosilactobacillus fermentum LF16
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled human trial, these strains delivered real mental health outcomes in just 6 weeks:
- 49% reduction in depressed mood
- 49% reduction in anger-hostility
- 40% reduction in fatigue
- 29% improvement in sleep quality
This isn’t guesswork, it’s science you can feel.
Backed by Technology That Delivers
It’s not just about having the right strains; it’s about getting them to where they’re needed. Biome Elevate™ uses Microbac™ microencapsulation technology, a plant-based lipid coating that protects the probiotics from stomach acid and ensures up to 5x greater delivery to the large intestine.
This advanced delivery system, along with shelf-stable packaging and the Live Probiotic Promise™, ensures every capsule delivers what it claims, through to expiry.
Practitioner-Only, Evidence-Driven
Biome Elevate™ is available exclusively through healthcare practitioners, aligning with Ecotrend’s commitment to educational support and professional guidance. As a distributor deeply focused on natural health, we support brands like Activated Probiotics® that prioritize clinical research, therapeutic dosing, and practitioner education.
These are the kinds of products that make a difference in real-world care, and that’s what Ecotrend is all about.
A New Era of Mental Health Awareness
As we recognize Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re reminded that mental well-being is complex and requires multidimensional support. Sleep, stress, and emotional balance aren’t isolated, they’re interconnected, and your gut plays a bigger role than you might think.
That’s why we support Biome Elevate™ and the work of Activated Probiotics®. Together, we’re helping health professionals bring real, evidence-based solutions to patients, starting from the inside out.
