🌿 Mikrofarmens HMO – Scientifically proven effect for stomach, immune system and mental well-being

Mikrofarmens HMO contains 2′-fucosyllactose (2′FL) – a specific type of prebiotic found naturally in breast milk. The version we use is identical to the original , but is made through plant-based fermentation. Research shows that 2′FL not only strengthens the stomach – but can also affect mood, sleep, energy, immune system and the brain .

🔍 What do the studies show?

🧠 Improves mood and reduces anxiety

In a 2023 double-blind study, adult participants reported less stress and anxiety after 4 weeks of 2′FL.

📖 EFFICAD, 2023

🦠 Improves intestinal flora – without gas or bloating

Unlike common prebiotics like FOS (fructooligosaccharides) and GOS (galactooligosaccharides) , which often cause gas and discomfort – especially in IBS and SIBO – 2′FL is much more gentle . It favors good bacteria like Bifidobacterium without overfeeding gas-producing species.

📖 ISAPP, 2022

📖 Nutrients, 2020 – IBS

✅ Particularly safe for IBS and SIBO

2′FL is very well tolerated , even by people with sensitive stomachs, IBS or SIBO , where other types of fiber often worsen symptoms. No increased stomach discomfort was reported in studies.

📖 Azagra-Boronat et al., 2020

📖 Ellison et al., 2016 – AJCN

🛡️ Strengthens the immune system

2′FL helps modulate inflammatory signals and strengthens the body's natural defenses through the gut.

📖 Yu et al., Nutrients, 2023

🧬 Contributes to brain health and development

In infants, higher levels of 2′FL in breast milk have been linked to better cognitive development. Animal studies show improved memory and reduced neuroinflammation.

🍋 Mikrofarmens Vitamin C – Natural, effective and without synthetic additives

Most vitamin C supplements on the market contain synthetically produced ascorbic acid – an isolated, often cheap form of vitamin C that lacks the plant substances naturally found in fruits and berries. Microfarm's vitamin C comes from whole extracts of real berries and fruits , which provides the body with both vitamin C and its natural auxiliary substances – such as bioflavonoids and polyphenols.

🔍 What does the research show?

✅ 1. Same absorption – but different effects in the body

Studies show that both natural and synthetic vitamin C are absorbed equally well in the body. However, natural vitamin C provides higher antioxidant capacity in tissues , thanks to plant-based substances such as bioflavonoids.

📖 Carr & Vissers, Nutrients, 2013

📖 Vinson et al., 1999 - PubMed

✅ 2. Naturally contains more than just vitamin C

When synthetic ascorbic acid was compared to a natural berry extract , stronger protection against oxidative stress, improved skin, and better absorption into the body were seen.

📖 Pincemail et al., OAText, 2017

✅ 3. More benefits with long-term intake

Natural vitamin C is often gentler on the stomach , and the accompanying substances can help the body absorb and use vitamin C more effectively over time .

💊 Documented health effects of vitamin C

Studies show that vitamin C is involved in many important functions in the body:

• 🛡️ Strengthens the immune system

  Reduces the duration and severity of colds.

  📖 NIH Office of Dietary Supplements

• 💪 Promotes collagen formation

  Important for skin, cartilage, bones and blood vessels.

  📖 EFSA, 2012 - Collagen Function

• ❤️ Protects the heart and vessels

  May contribute to better blood vessel function and reduce oxidative stress.

  📖 Harvard Health Publishing

• 🧠 Protects the brain

  Low levels of vitamin C have been seen in people with cognitive impairment – and supplementation may help protect nerve cells.

  📖 PubMed Review – Brain & Vitamin C

• 👁️ Reduces risk of cataracts

  Protects the eye against oxidative damage linked to age-related changes.

  📖 Mayo Clinic

• 🩺 Increases iron absorption

  Helps the body absorb non-heme iron from plants – important for those who eat little meat.

  📖 NIH – Iron Absorption

😊 Mood and energy – what does the research say?

Vitamin C plays an important role in the production of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin, which affect our mood and energy levels.

• Improved mood : Studies have shown that people with higher vitamin C levels tend to have better moods and lower levels of depression and confusion.

  📖 Brody, 2002

• Increased energy : Vitamin C is necessary for the synthesis of carnitine, a molecule that helps convert fat into energy. Vitamin C deficiency can lead to fatigue and decreased physical endurance.

  📖 Carr & Vissers, Nutrients, 2013

💡 Why natural vitamin C is a smarter choice:

• 🍇 Contains real plant extracts – not isolated chemicals

• 💪 Supports immune system, skin, joints and cell protection

• 🛡️ Provides better antioxidant defense than synthetic vitamin C

• 🌿 Gentle on the stomach and better for the body over time

• ❌ No added sugar, citric acid or artificial substances

📦 In short:

If you want to give your body real nutrition from nature – not something chemically produced in a factory – Mikrofarmen’s natural vitamin C is a better choice. It does more than just replenish your vitamin C stores – it protects your body with nature’s entire arsenal of plant substances.

🛡️ Support for the immune system in case of nutritional deficiency

A 12-week study showed that multivitamin supplementation improved immune markers and reduced sick days in adults with low nutritional status.

📖 Keenan et al., 2020 - Nutrients

📊 Comparison: natural vs. synthetic multivitamin

Research shows that while the absorption of synthetic vitamins is sometimes similar, natural multivitamins provide a more complete nutritional value thanks to plant substances that are not found in isolated forms.

📖 Carr & Vissers, 2013 – Nutrients

🧪

1. Higher antioxidant capacity with natural vitamins

A study compared a natural multivitamin (Arkovital® Pur'Energie) with a synthetic counterpart. After 14 days, the group taking the natural product showed a significantly higher antioxidant status (PAOT® Skin Score) compared to the synthetic group.
