DNA-PROBIO
A patent-pending blend of protease enzymes, five probiotics species, and a prebiotic designed to promote optimal protein digestion, a healthy gut microbiome, and enhanced absorption of Branched Chain (BCAAs), Essential and Non-Essential Amino Acids.
Designed to support protein digestion and absorption of amino acids and postbiotics DNA-Probio is a patent-pending blend of protease enzymes, five probiotics species, and a prebiotic shown in clinical trials to promote optimal protein digestion, a healthy gut microbiome, and enhanced absorption of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), essential and non-essential amino acids. Clinical studies show DNA-Probio (DigeSEB SportTM) promotes the production and bioavailability of postbiotics L-citrulline, L-alanine, L-ornithine, Anserine, and the neurotransmitter Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).
Some probiotics don’t survive the harsh acidic conditions of the stomach. Many don’t reach the gut, limiting their efficacy. DNA-PROBIO Capsules use a patented slow release capsule (DRcaps®). The innovative DRcaps® capsule dissolves after an extended time period (approx 40 minutes), protecting ingredients from degradation in the stomach and delivering them into the small intestine where they are most effective.
Probiotics, Enzymes & Protein Absorption
For athletes and health enthusiasts alike, undigested protein can lead to an unhealthy gut microbiome and symptoms such as bloating, gas, and even kidney and liver problems. DNA-Probio promotes microflora diversity and balance, helping to prevent the negative effects of protein indigestion.
Enzymes and probiotics are a 1-2 punch for protein. Proteolytic enzymes break down protein and probiotics keep the gut in check. Proper protein digestion supports a healthy appetite, hormone levels, fat storage, metabolism and muscle strength and building, as well as promoting cognitive function, emotional health, energy production, and immune health.
Science and research
Randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, crossover clinical trials evaluated the effect of DNA-Probio when taken with whey or pea protein on amino acid absorption and the gut microbiome. Results of these two studies found that DNA-Probio improved protein digestion, increased essential amino acid and branched chain amino acid (BCAA) release and absorption, and supported the maintenance of a health gut microbiome.
The clinical trials also showed that DNA-Probio supports increased production of postbiotics such as GABA, shown to regulate skin health, stress, anxiety and depression, physical endurance, healthy ageing, inflammation and cardiac health.
Postbiotics released when DNA-Probio is taken with protein include:
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). A non-protein inhibitory neurotransmitter of the central nervous system that modulates synaptic transmission, promotes neuronal development and relaxation, and prevents sleeplessness and depression. Low GABA levels lead to anxiety, depression, insomnia, mood disorders, seizures and epilepsy. GABA also shows cardio-protection, antioxidant, pain relieving and anti-diabetic effects.
Beta-Alanine. Beta-Alanine promotes athletic performance, cognitive function during stressful conditions, and resiliency to stress. Beta-Alanine also promotes cellular oxygen consumption and the expression of cellular proteins associated with improved oxidative metabolism.
L-Citrulline. A neutral, non-proteinogenic alpha-amino acid, and an important component of the urea cycle in the kidney and liver which removes ammonia from the blood. L-Citrulline promotes healthy blood pressure, regulation of innate and adaptive immunity, functional antioxidant management, muscle and metabolic health, cardiac function, age-related muscle damage, endothelial vasodilator, and anti-diabetic functions.
L-Ornithine. A non-proteinogenic amino acid shown to promote stress reduction, sleep, energy levels, mental focus, skin health, the synthesis and production of collagen, muscle growth and basal metabolism.
Anserine. A histidine containing dipeptide that acts as a biochemical buffer, chelator, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-glycation agent. Anserine promotes relief from stress, anxiety and fatigue, post-partum lactation, exercise performance, healthy blood sugar and pressure levels, immune health, healthy ageing, immune health and wound healing.
The largest number of probiotics live in the colon, but billions also live in the mouth, oral cavity, nasal cavity, the esophagus, around the gums, in the pockets of our pleural cavity (surrounding our lungs). They dwell within our stomach, our intestines, within the vagina, around the rectum. within joints, under the armpits, under the toenails, between the toes, urinary tract, inside our urinary tract and many other places!
Intestinal microflora balance can be disrupted by factors such as antibiotics, stress, alcohol, among others, which can lead to diarrhea, cramping, bloating and overgrowth of opportunistic organisms. Supplemental DNA-PROBIO promotes a healthy gut microbiome.
Ideal for athletes, DNA-Probio promotes BCAA and essential amino acid release and absorption, and a healthy gut microbiome. The benefits continue post-workout as it may support muscle repair and recovery, relief from anxiety, sleeplessness and depression.

How probiotics might improve immune function
There are all sorts of things that can throw the balance of “good” and “bad” bacteria in your intestines out of whack. Something as simple as a week-long course of antibiotics can devastate a bacteria colony that’s been thriving in your body for decades. And that, in turn, can give you anything from diarrhea to chronic headaches, skin problems, the sniffles or worse. Some researchers theorize that an imbalance in the gut microbiome could be a cause of irritable bowel syndrome. It’s also been linked to an increase in depression or anxiety, multiple sclerosis flares and chronic kidney disease. While they’re not sure how it happens, all this research points to rebalancing the microbiome as a potential solution. And, in some small studies, using probiotics to do just that has resulted in a decrease of symptoms.
The link between your gut and your immune system
To get how probiotics affect your immune function, you first need to understand the relationship between the gastrointestinal tract and your immune health. In the last few years, scientists at the best research universities in the world have begun to figure out how bacteria in the gut impacts the immune system and your overall wellness. It turns out that much of the immune system is actually in the GI tract. There are cells in the intestines that secrete antibodies into your bloodstream, which help your body fight different illnesses and ailments. It turns out that the immune system is all about balance. If your body fights off too many “bad” cells, it can trigger a negative bodily response that can potentially cause other health complications. However, if it doesn’t fight off enough, you can become seriously ill. Your gut is all about balance, too. This balance is between “good” bacteria and “bad” bacteria, trillions of which reside in your intestines. Some of these bacteria help you digest food, breaking it down into essential nutrients that your body can use as fuel. Other types of bacteria trigger an immune response, which could lead to the release of antibodies that we mentioned earlier. Scientists don’t yet understand exactly how these bacteria work together to keep you healthy, or why certain types of bacteria are more prevalent than others. What they do know is that when the balance is off, people get sick.
