Low Energy and Birth Control — How Your Gut Might Be to Blame

Low Energy and Birth Control — How Your Gut Might Be to Blame

Your gut does more than digest food — it shapes your hormones, immune system, and even your energy levels. If you’ve been feeling unusually tired since starting birth control, your gut health could be at the root of it.

The Gut–Hormone Connection

Hormonal birth control can disrupt the delicate balance of bacteria in your microbiome. When that balance shifts, your gut can’t absorb nutrients efficiently — especially the B-vitamins and magnesium that fuel energy production.

This imbalance can also lead to inflammation and sluggish digestion, which drain even more energy.

Why Gut Health Equals Energy

A healthy gut produces short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which feed your intestinal cells and help regulate metabolism. When these SCFAs drop, your body has to work harder to create energy, leaving you fatigued.

Enter Corebiome™ — The Postbiotic Powerhouse

Alii’s formula includes Corebiome™ tributyrin, a clinically studied postbiotic that restores gut balance and supports SCFA production. This helps:

  • Strengthen your intestinal barrier

  • Improve nutrient absorption

  • Support balanced inflammation and metabolism

With a healthier gut, your body can finally access the nutrients it needs to feel awake, light, and clear again.

Replenish from Within

Alii combines Corebiome™ with magnesium, zinc, B-vitamins, and CoQ10 — a synergistic blend to restore energy from the inside out.

When your gut and cells are both nourished, everything works better — your digestion, mood, and energy included.
