AstraGin® comes from two plants. It's been around for almost 20 years, and it's already in a lot of the products in your kitchen or gym bag: energy drinks, protein powders, pre-workouts, vitamins. Why do brands add it? Because most of what you eat doesn't actually make it into your body. You eat something healthy, and a big chunk of it just passes through. AstraGin® helps your body absorb more of it. Same food. More benefit. ![Plant roots and a scoop of light plant extract powder on a bright green background](https://discover.nulivscience.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Client%20Ingredient%20Landing%20Pages/AstraGin%20Ghost/botanicals.jpg?width=1200&height=1200&name=botanicals.jpg) Why your gut matters ## Your gut is the gatekeeper. 01 Everything you eat has to get past your gut before your body can use it. Picture a security checkpoint. 02 The good stuff gets waved through. The rest gets turned away. 03 Now picture that checkpoint worn down and not working at its best. Even the good stuff can get stuck outside. That can happen even when you are eating well. ### Supports Probiotics & a Healthy Gut Lining It supports a healthy gut lining. That lining is your barrier. It helps keep what belongs out, out. ### Helps Your Body Absorb More Nutrients When the lining is doing its job, more of the nutrients you eat actually make it in, instead of passing right through. The proof ## More good bacteria. Your gut is packed with bacteria. Some help you. Some don't. The balance between them shapes your digestion, your energy, a lot more than people realize. Over a 3-month human study, people taking AstraGin® saw their good bacteria climb. That's the whole story; AstraGin® shifts your microbiome toward the bacteria you want more of. ### Good bacteria went up. Over 3 months, in a human study. Without AstraGin® With AstraGin® -23% +77% Firmicutes -52% +420% F. prausenitzii +57% +181% B. adolescentis Change in three beneficial gut bacteria after 3 months, with AstraGin® versus without, in a human study. ### More of your drink gets absorbed. Common energy-drink ingredients, better absorbed. Without AstraGin® With AstraGin® +53% Choline +33% Carnitine +13% Taurine Uptake of choline, carnitine, and taurine in an intestinal cell model (preclinical research), with AstraGin® versus without. ### A stronger gut barrier. How well the gut lining holds together. Without AstraGin® With AstraGin® lower is better −1% Without AstraGin® −13% With AstraGin® In a 4-week human study, zonulin (a marker of how well the gut lining seals) dropped further with AstraGin®. Lower zonulin supports the natural integrity of the intestinal lining. ![Two runners climbing outdoor stairs in bright morning sunlight](https://discover.nulivscience.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Client%20Ingredient%20Landing%20Pages/AstraGin%20Ghost/runners.jpg?width=1408&height=1008&name=runners.jpg) Why it's everywhere ## It makes the rest of the formula work harder. Vitamins, protein, creatine, plant compounds like curcumin (the stuff in turmeric) only help you if your body actually absorbs them. Otherwise you paid for it and your body never got the memo. AstraGin® helps close that gap. That's why it shows up in: - Pre-workouts & energy drinks - Protein powders & BCAAs - Multivitamins - Creatine products ![A person laughing while holding a plain unbranded drink can against a green background](https://discover.nulivscience.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Client%20Ingredient%20Landing%20Pages/AstraGin%20Ghost/athlete-can.jpg?width=1200&height=1504&name=athlete-can.jpg) Unbranded, on purpose ## You've probably had it without knowing. ![Three plain unbranded aluminium cans on a bright yellow surface](https://discover.nulivscience.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Client%20Ingredient%20Landing%20Pages/AstraGin%20Ghost/cans.jpg?width=1408&height=1008&name=cans.jpg) ![Certified B Corporation logo](https://discover.nulivscience.com/hubfs/Client%20Ingredient%20Landing%20Pages/AstraGin%20Ghost/B-Corp-Logo-White-RGB.svg) We're a Certified B-Corp ## What that badge actually means. You've probably seen that badge before. Most people scroll right past it. Here's what it actually means. Most companies answer to one group only- shareholders, the people who own stock. Legally, that means profit can come before everything else. Workers, community, environment, all of it can take a back seat. A Certified B-Corp doesn't get to do that. Earning the certification means an outside auditor checks how a company treats its employees, its suppliers, its community, and the planet, not just its balance sheet. We went through that audit. We passed it. That's not a claim we get to make about ourselves. It's one we had to prove. 15.7 Governance 30.1 Workers 16.8 Community 16.0 Environment 3.6 Customers NuLiv Science scored 82.4 overall on its first B Impact Assessment in 2022. The median score for businesses that complete the assessment is 50.9; the pass mark is 80. ![AstraGin logo](https://discover.nulivscience.com/hubfs/Client%20Ingredient%20Landing%20Pages/AstraGin%20Ghost/AstraGin-logo-RGB.png) [Follow us on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nulivscience/) **AstraGin® is a registered trademark of NuLiv Science.** These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
