A few months back, we shared the revolutionary new products from FitBiomics that are changing the way we view probiotic supplements. Today, we are going to dive in on what has become my (Matt's) most impactful supplement discovery of 2025.
While I've been vocal about VNella (the Lactic Acid Metabolizer), today I want to emphasize just how powerful these products are as a complete system. To use another corporate term, it’s called synergy.
Nella isn't a generic probiotic – it's specifically cultivated from the microbiomes of elite athletes. These bacterial strains are selected for their ability to enhance athletic performance, not just general gut health.
My experience with Nella showed three key benefits:
More consistent energy throughout the day
Better digestive comfort during high-training periods
Improved sleep quality (as confirmed by my trusty wearable)
Now, VNella, on the other hand, contains Veillonella – a microbe that "eats" lactic acid and converts it into beneficial short-chain fatty acids. Veillonella isn't a made-up word the advertising team came up with; it's legitimate metabolic science.
My personal results with VNella are as follows:
Extended time to fatigue during high-intensity sessions
Faster recovery between intervals
Better performance on back-to-back training days
The Veillonella strain in VNella was also discovered in marathon runners' microbiomes and increases significantly after intense exercise.
This microbe consumes lactic acid and produces propionate, which becomes an energy source for your muscles.
Still with me? Great. Let’s keep going.
Why They Work Better Together
While effective individually, I've found the most profound benefits using them as a system:
1. Nella optimizes your gut microbiome foundation, improving nutrient absorption and digestive health.
2. VNella adds specialized lactic acid metabolizing capability, directly addressing the fatigue mechanism that limits high-intensity performance.
Together, they create a comprehensive approach that works from the inside out – not just masking fatigue, but transforming how your body handles it.
After months of testing, this combination has been transformative for both my training quality and recovery.
Oh, and remember, consistency is key. You'll likely notice subtle improvements within 2 weeks, but the full benefits emerge after about a month of consistent use.
Check it out. Stick with it. Work better. It’s almost that simple.
