Created by looking at the eco-systems of high-performing athletes, a new probiotic pill may be the key to handling certain diseases and lose weight.
For more than a decade, 51-year-old management consultant Steve Gallagher has been managing his rheumatoid arthritis — and chronic pain — via diet and exercise. The North Fork, LI, resident stuck to a strict regimen despite being bombarded with quack suggestions.
“We’re looking for what’s in the eco-system of super-healthy people,” said Dr. Jonathan Scheiman, the inventor of Nella and the CEO of its parents company Fitbiomics.What he’s come to believe in, specifically, isn’t just any old gut health vitamin. Gallagher was part of a trial for a pill, which is being marketed under the name Nella, that contains bacteria harvested from the poop of high-performing athletes.
The stools samples came from 15 elite runners training for the Boston Marathon, plus a control group of ordinary folks he’d recruited. Once he got back to his lab, Scheiman started sifting through the poo looking for a common link — and he struck on something exciting. So, Scheiman and his team set about testing what that might mean. They dosed up some lab mice with this lactic acid-munching bacteria and set them on a treadmill until exhausted, alongside a control group. The Veillonella-assisted group ran for 13% longer than the control. The microbe appeared to be an all-natural endurance-booster.
