Stomach and gut well-being
The proper functioning of the gastrointestinal system is critical to the health of the entire body because it conditions the efficiency of the immune system and influences the endocrine system e nervous system.
Common situations such as stress, poor eating habits, hurried lifestyle or food intolerances can impair the digestive process and cause symptoms such as heaviness of the stomach, feeling of nausea, acidity, abdominal bloating, meteorism e flatulence.
Factors such as taking certain medications-antibiotics in particular-gastrointestinal infections or improper lifestyles can result in dysbiosis, the alteration of the intestinal microbiota which manifests as abdominal cramps, diarrhea and general malaise.
For promote gastrointestinal well-being, Principium offers a range of solutions to help prevent and counteract these disorders.
Reflumax Acidità

When digestion becomes difficult
Heavy and hastily consumed meals can make the digestive process difficult by causing a sense of heaviness, bloated stomach and nausea. In these cases of blocked digestion, effervescence is useful, which, by increasing the pressure in the stomach, signals the brain to proceed with gastric emptying.
There are several natural substances that can help: first of all, the ginger, useful for promoting digestive function and counteracting nausea. In fact, ginger root increases the production of gastric juices and bile, helping the elimination of intestinal gas.
Another very common symptom in these cases is the stomach acidity, that uncomfortable burning sensation in the stomach that can occur immediately after meals.
One of the most effective solutions comes from rice, which controls excess acidity and has a soothing action – that’s why dietary supplements with rice extract are ideal for reduce this problem, especially when combined with other ingredients such as gamma oryzanol – a substance extracted from rice bran oil – and the lemon essential oil.
Principium research has designed a solution that encapsulates the beneficial properties of all these natural substances in one product.

Naudigest Effervescente
Effervescent powdered supplement with ginger, rice extract, gamma oryzanol and lemon essential oil. Promotes digestion by facilitating gastric emptying, buffering acidity and counteracting nausea.
Principium's proposal for aiding the digestive process and counteracting gas formation is based on an optimal dosage formulation of digestive enzymes and phytoextracts with well-known eupeptic properties.
-
Enzimi No Gas
based on biofermentation enzymes, Gentian, Fennel and Lemon Balm, facilitates digestion and prevents the formation of intestinal gas. In double-layer fast/retard tablets, to act where and when needed: the first layer acts in the stomach, the second in the intestines.
The importance of enzymes to digest well
Digestive enzymes are essential because they help the digestive system break down food, counteracting abdominal bloating, slow digestion, meteorism and flatulence: It is precisely from the intestinal fermentation of food that is not well digested that annoying abdominal bloating originates, and proper digestion of food is essential to ensure the absorption and assimilation of vitamins, minerals and trace elements.
Digestive enzymes are produced naturally by our bodies but they are also supplemented with fresh fruits and vegetables, which precisely to promote digestion should be eaten at the beginning of every meal.
Digestive enzyme supplementation is recommended with advancing age – when the body begins to produce less – but also in cases of:
- Unbalanced diet;
- Meals that are too large;
- Use of alcoholic beverages;
- Prolonged stressful situations;
- Food intolerances and alterations in gastric acid secretion due to taking certain drugs (such as PPIs, NSAIDs).
Microbiota balance, key to intestinal well-being
The gut microbiota is the set of microorganisms-different from individual to individual-that populate the gut: “good” bacteria called symbionts and “bad” bacteria, the pathobionts, which under normal conditions find their own balance (eubiosis).
As a result of drug treatments, gastrointestinal infections, unhealthy lifestyle and improper diet, the balance of the intestinal microbiota can alter.
As a result of this alteration (dysbiosis), the microbiota reduces or terminates the synthesis of substances important for the body’s well-being: this can result in inflammation of the intestinal mucosa and an increase in its permeability, related to disorders such as diarrhea or constipation, abdominal cramps e meteorism.
Supplementation with probiotic-acting microorganisms can help restore the eubiosis, promoting the recolonization of symbiont bacteria at the expense of pathobionts. This process is not immediate, requiring a few days during which the organism may be deficient in substances useful for the well-being of the intestinal mucosa, normally synthesized by symbionts.
Thus, the postbiotics, products of various kinds released by symbiotic bacteria during fermentation processes, referred to by many as the new frontier of gut well-being. Postbiotics (including Butyric Acid) exert an anti-inflammatory and soothing action on the intestinal mucosa altered by dysbiosis, restoring its integrity and accelerating the restoration of eubiosis.
Principium's proposal is based on the exclusive Boostbiotic complex, which exploits the synergy between two powerful active ingredients for restorative action and rebalancing of intestinal function.

Florbioma Rigenera
supplement based on Boostbiotic, a complex of Butyric Acid and Glutamine in gastroresistant tablets that protect the contents from attack by gastric juices, allowing gradual release in the intestines.
