With cutting-edge technology and treatment modalities as well as time-tested holistic approaches, gut issues can be treated in a preventive manner. Scientific & modern technology treatments at VitalLife Scientific Wellness Centre at RAKxa Wellness are highlighted as follows:
- Gut Health IV Formula: This formula improves the function of the intestines and balances nutrients and essential amino acids to increase gut health. Moreover, it is helpful to cure abnormal intestine function which may lead to poor nutrient absorption. Examples of the abnormalities are leaky gut syndrome, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, hypochlorhydria, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, food allergy, etc.
- Probiotic Replacement Therapy (Probac 10): A complete synbiotic formulation, composed of 10 probiotic strains, combined with a prebiotic, produces a synergistic effect. Benefits for acute infectious diarrhea, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), H. pylori infection, Antibiotic Associated Diarrhea (AAD), lowering the risk for colon cancer, alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), cirrhosis (Hepatic Encephalopathy), allergy, lactose intolerance, chronic acne, eczema, urogenital infections as well as to help promote immunomodulation.
- Food Intolerance Test: The blood test method is among the fastest and most accurate methods for identifying specific food intolerances or sensitivities. While traditional skin-prick tests measure a person’s reaction to one food item at a time, blood testing checks reactions to over 200 food items with a single blood draw.

- Abhyanga: highly recommended in Ayurveda, a traditional Indian massage practice. The massaging with warm medicated oil in specific directions helps loosen toxins from the body's soft tissues, allowing them to be removed by the body's waste elimination process, which in turn supports our immunity and the active communication between skin microbes, environmental microbes, gut microbes, and the entire body.
- Private Yoga: The yoga movement, in particular, may restore our microbiome by reducing stress, improving gastrointestinal motility, and aiding digestion. In addition, some yoga poses can aid digestion while also cleansing and detoxifying toxins from the body. A yoga posture can also serve as a massage for the internal organs, enhancing lymphatic detox and increasing oxygenated blood flow to a variety of organs, particularly the gut.
