Bio X4 Dietary Supplement Real Review

Bio X4 is a dietary probiotic supplement produced or manufactured by  Nucific. I will be reviewing it in this article and for starters, I definitely want to say that it has a lot of claims, it reaches too far and tries to do too much in my opinion, and it does not appear to fulfill all of its claims. I am not surprised, though, probably 99% of the time most dietary online supplements do not work as advertised or as the manufacturers claim. 

Of course, this is not only due to the supplements being low quality or having buffed up claims, although it's definitely a thing with dietary supplements. There are other factors that determine how much you will benefit from using a probiotic supplement and perhaps any sort of dietary supplement for that matter. 

There are factors in your lifestyle, such as your diet. Probiotics are healthy bacteria that live in your body, most of them in the intestines, and offer their benefits to you, such as immune and digestive support. They are actually spread through your body, you have bacteria in your mouth as well and a lot of them.

Now, these bacteria normally come from diet. Actually there are bacteria all around us but healthy probiotics must be taken from diet and if anyone is interested, there are certain foods actually called probiotic foods, that are rich in these types or species of bacteria and such foods are yogurt for example, or fermented cheese, kefir as well as pickled vegetables and so on, a lot of fermented products essentially have healthy strains of bacteria within them. 

If you don't eat such foods, your gut will lack these bacteria in CFUs and in strains but there's more to it than that. These bacteria can die or get killed.

Antibiotics are most known for killing them. Antibiotics, of course, are made to kill bacteria, the name itself stands for "against life", anti and bios which refer to being against living microorganisms as bacteria but specifically those that are harmful to us and cause infections and so on. 

However, probiotics are also lost in the process of using antibiotics, which is why it's so important to not abuse antibiotics because they come with side-effects and abuse can, in fact, make your immune system weaker and make you more vulnerable to infections, especially in the winter.

Obviously, for a person with a healthy gut microbiome, there's not much point in taking probiotic supplementation and the benefits would be very mild but for someone that has a gut imbalance, supplementation may be recommended so, in the end, you have to consult a medic to know more. As for Bio X4, it does not have FDA approval or clinical supplementation however it has some interesting ingredients. 

It is composed of 5 strains Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium but it only has 4 billion CFUs per capsule, which is not much at all and that is what worries me. The feedback for it is very mixed so again, depending on things like diet, stress, medication and so on, it could be more or less effective or beneficial for you. 

A lot of people use supplements as support for weight loss and by weight loss, of course, I mean fat loss. Losing fat is done by most people through changes in their diet or changes in their level of activity because there are many those that are sedentary and being sedentary is a pretty bad habit, it makes a person used to not being very active and it makes a person lazy so going from being sedentary to being active will obviously be a challenge since you won't like to be active but that is why it is important to take it easy and slowly and build your way up. 

People often make the mistake of going too hard when they start out because they want fast results but that is bad, you will get very tired and especially if you don't eat properly you won't have enough to fuel your body and especially not enough for your body to recover so you will feel very tired and sore the next day and another problem is that most people don't know how to eat properly before or after an exercise or workout routine or even before and after a run in the park. 

Not eating properly means bad performance and bad recovery and it makes everything awful, there are a lot of mistakes that people do and they think it's very hard but it's because they are not doing it properly so just take it slowly, don't rush things.
