Experience IBS or Chron's, eczema, fatigue? Could be low Faecalibacterium prausnitzii (our firefighter)

Feeling sluggish, constipated, or low on energy after meals?

Roseburia species ferment dietary fibre into butyrate, supporting smooth digestion, gut motility, and metabolic health. Roseburia spp is our fibre whisperer.

Low Roseburia can contribute to constipation, slow digestion, bloating, sugar crashes, and low SCFA production.

High Roseburia generally signals efficient fibre fermentation and a well-functioning microbiome. There is no clear evidence of harmful 'excess' levels in humans.

To support Roseburia, gradually increase fibre intake, hydrate, include prebiotics like beta-glucans and resistant starch, and eat consistent meals.
