Hi,
We’ve all dealt with some serious gut issues, especially after ramping up training. Cramping, bloating after eating a gel and a general “off” feeling—every athlete has been there.
Doctors often suggest probiotics, but they seem like generic, off-the-shelf stuff.
But The Feed discovered FitBiomics – its probiotics are like no other, and the story is fascinating.
Read on, and you’ll see that this isn’t an exaggeration.
The Backstory that is Worth The Read:
FitBiomics did something that had never been done.
FitBiomics partnered with Harvard's Wyss Institute to analyze the gut microbiome of elite athletes, the top 0.01% of the fittest people on the planet.
Think about it. These athletes have something the rest of us don't, and it's not just the training. Their gut bacteria are actually different, giving them performance advantages.
So instead of guessing what might work, FitBiomics reverse-engineered the specific bacterial strains that make elite athletes... well, elite.
Instead of mixing generic bacterial strains like everyone else, FitBiomics created and patented strains based on elite athletes’ optimized gut microbiomes.
What We Use and Why
After testing both FitBiomics products, here's what we found:
Nella - This one targets sleep and gut health.
Some of us took it for 6 weeks and reported the best sleep in years. And throwing down 80+ grams of carbs per hour on long, brutal rides didn’t rattle our guts nearly as much.
V·Nella - This is the one that really got our attention. It contains a bacterial strain that consumes lactic acid.
Yes, you read that right. V·Nella’s bacterial strain consumes lactic acid and converts it into beneficial compounds. We’re not making this up—there's real science behind this.
Some of us have taken it daily for the past month, and swear the legs feel fresher during hard intervals.
Real Talk
We’ve all tried a lot of probiotics over the years.
Most contain generic bacterial strains (may not survive stomach acid). FitBiomics is different because it does not guess—it uses the actual genetic blueprint of the world's fittest athletes to develop its strains.
And here's what really matters to us as athletes: all those gels, drink mixes and high-carb fueling strategies we need to fuel training and racing can damage your gut microbiome over time. Countless athletes have reported this to us, and we’ve also experienced it.
Our Recommendation
If you're serious about training and recovery, try FitBiomics for a month. Start with V·Nella if you want to target performance, or Nella if sleep and gut health are priorities.
We don’t claim this will turn you into an elite athlete overnight, but why not give yourself the same advantages they have? Your gut (and your training) will thank you.
Be smart out there.
