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.
“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, by way of explanation. He believes the answer to true sporting prowess isn’t just a great trainer or a strict diet. Superstar athletes have something in common, and the way he found it out was via their poop.
In the runners, levels of the bacterium Veillonella atypica were consistently high. That microbe is one that spikes in the wake of exertion and loves to feed on lactic acid. That’s the same molecule, of course, that causes soreness in muscles after exercise.
So...any volunteers? Also any supp company wants to get in on this? Imagine taking the poop of IFBB pro bodybuilders and turning it into a power poo pill?!
