Vekovia · Microbiome Powder

It does not add bacteria. Instead, it feeds the bacteria you already have — with prebiotic fibres in a full, effective dose, combined with plant-derived polyphenols. Simply mix one scoop into water.

It all starts in the gut

The colon is home to an ecosystem of more than a thousand bacterial species that supports digestion, the gut barrier, and the immune system. Beneficial bacteria feed on fermentable fibres — their preferred substrates, known as prebiotics. When given the right nourishment, they ferment these fibres and produce biologically active compounds known as postbiotics, which help nourish the intestinal wall.

Vekovia Microbiome Powder delivers these fibres in a full, effective dose — something capsules simply cannot provide in comparable amounts. It is complemented by polyphenols from cranberry and pomegranate to support the environment in which gut bacteria function.

Akkermansia muciniphila — a key bacterium for the gut environment

Akkermansia muciniphila lives within the mucus layer of the colon and is involved in its renewal, which is why it is often regarded as a guardian of the gut barrier. It is strictly anaerobic and difficult to cultivate, making direct supplementation as a live culture challenging.

A more practical approach is to provide the environment and nutrients that may support its presence. That is precisely what this powder is designed to do.

The ingredients

Chicory inulin — 12 g

One of the most extensively studied prebiotic fibres. It is fermented by beneficial bacteria in the colon and can promote their growth. At a daily intake of 12 g, chicory inulin contributes to normal bowel function by increasing stool frequency.

Partially hydrolysed guar gum (PHGG) — 3 g

A gentle, well-tolerated soluble fibre. It helps balance the formula and is particularly suitable for people with sensitive digestion or increased sensitivity to fermentable fibres.

Polyphenol blend: cranberry + pomegranate

Standardised polyphenols — including proanthocyanidins and ellagitannins — that reach the colon and support the environment in which beneficial bacteria thrive.

Vitamin C from rosehip, zinc and riboflavin

Three micronutrients with well-established physiological functions that complement the formula and support authorised health claims, listed below.

• Chicory inulin contributes to normal bowel function by increasing stool frequency. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 12 g chicory inulin.
• Vitamin C and zinc contribute to the normal function of the immune system and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
• Vitamin C increases iron absorption.
• Riboflavin contributes to the maintenance of normal mucous membranes.
• Zinc contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism.

Why Vekovia

• A full prebiotic dose — fibres in quantities that capsules cannot realistically provide.
• No added dairy ingredients, gluten or yeast.
• Standardised polyphenols to support the gut environment.
• EU-sourced ingredients and EU manufacturing, with quality control for every batch.
• Based on published research — with clearly referenced sources.

Directions for use

Mix 1 scoop (~5 g) into approximately 200 ml of water or juice, 3 times daily, or as directed on the label.

Start gradually to allow your digestive system to adapt to the fibre, and drink plenty of fluids throughout the day.

Changes in the gut microbiota take time. A regular intake period of at least 8 weeks is therefore a reasonable approach.

Important information

Not suitable for children under 12 years of age, or for pregnant and breastfeeding women without prior consultation with a healthcare professional.

When increasing fibre intake, temporary bloating may occur. For this reason, begin with a smaller amount and increase gradually. Take with sufficient fluids.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Keep out of reach of young children.
