True detox begins at night, in the gut.
🌙 The rhythm of your inner universe
You work during the day.
Think. Move. React. Digesting on the side.
But at night...
your body starts to sort itself out.
To heal.
To be renewed.
At the center: your microbiome -
this silent intelligence that works for you when you let go.
🧬 3 things your microbiome does for you at night
1️⃣ It heals your intestinal wall
Your gut has a surface area of around 400 square meters - every night your microbiome uses the rest to repair tiny bits of damage.
Among other things, this produces butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid molecule - it has an anti-inflammatory effect and protects your mucous membrane like an inner balm.
If the barrier is stable, the rest of your body remains calm.
2️⃣ It trains your immune system
Around 70 percent of your immune cells are located in the abdomen.
Your microbiome teaches them what is foreign - and what is harmless.
This nightly training helps to avoid overreactions and keep your immune system in balance.
3️⃣ It talks to your brain
Your microbiome sends signals to your central nervous system via the vagus nerve - a silent communication that influences your sleep rhythm, your mood and even your dreams.
This produces serotonin precursors - the basis for inner peace, emotional stability and restful sleep.
But this work does not happen on its own.
Your microbiome needs energy, diversity - and attention.
💡 What you eat determines how you sleep
Many people ask: "Is something wrong with my melatonin?"
The better question is:
"What have I given my microbiome today?"
- An empty gut (e.g. through fast food, sugar, stress) has little to do at night.
- A nourished gut (dietary fiber, bitter substances, healthy fats) works in the background - like a conductor without a stage.
🍽️ 5 things that help your gut during the night shift
1. eat warm & easy in the evening.
Soup instead of salad. Oats instead of hectic.
2. bring color to the plate.
The more colorful your food, the richer your inner world. 30 plants a week is a good start.
3. take a break.
There should be 12 hours between dinner and breakfast.
This is not a renunciation - this is a gift.
4. support with soluble fiber
Most people can't manage 20 g a day. Your microbiome needs more.
BS Plus provides your inner helpers with resistant strength,
Psyllium husks & D-tagatose - quietly, effectively, lovingly.

5. sleep dark. Really dark.
Because bacteria also follow the light. And sleep loves the night.
🎁 Two little rituals for your evening
✨ Microbiome evening porridge
- 200 ml oat or rice milk (unsweetened)
- 3 tablespoons of soft rolled oats
- 1 tsp ground linseed
- 1 tbsp grated apple or mashed banana
- 1 pinch of cinnamon
Preparation:
Slowly heat the plant milk (do not boil!), then stir in the remaining ingredients. Leave to infuse briefly and enjoy warm.
💡 Why this is important:
A warm, well-tolerated dinner soothes the digestive system - without unnecessary heat or irritants. Ideal for preparing for the night.
🌬️ Abdominal breathing in bed
- Lie comfortably on your back with both hands on your stomach
- Breathe in slowly and gently through your nose
- Feel how your stomach rises in the process
- Breathe out through your nose for longer than you inhaled
- Repeat 10-15 breaths - calmly, without pressure
💡 Why this works:
This gentle form of naso-abdominal breathing activates the vagus nerve, calms your nervous system and brings peace to your belly - exactly what your microbiome needs for the night.
💫 Healing doesn't happen if you do more -
but when you give space to the right one.
A calm belly.
A nourishing dinner.
A breath into the depths.
That is enough.
For today. For the night. For you.
🧘♀️ Not every detox starts with juice
Sometimes a warm evening porridge is enough.
A calm breath.
A moment of care - for your belly, for you.
And sometimes a gentle impulse from outside helps.
BS Plus accompanies your microbiome through the night - with soluble
Dietary fiber, resistant starch and D-tagatose. Quiet. Nourishing. Effective.

🧡 Not as a quick fix.
But as an invitation.
To a new rhythm with yourself.
Healing does not begin in action, but in the space you give it.
