Digestive Health

Digestive health lies at the core of overall health. A healthy digestive system helps the body efficiently break down many of the nutrients we consume into forms that are easily absorbed, maximising the benefits of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants and defending against nutritional deficiencies. A healthy digestive system is important for avoiding digestive discomfort such as bloating, constipation, heartburn and diarrhoea, all of which can cause temporary discomfort.

A large percentage of the immune cells in the body are located in the gut, so taking care of your digestive health can also help support your immune system.

What is gut microbiota?

Gut microbiota (formerly called gut flora) is the name given today to the microbe population living in our intestine. Our gut microbiota contains tens of trillions of microorganisms, including at least 1000 different species of known bacteria with more than 3 million genes (150 times more than human genes). Microbiota can, in total, weigh up to 2kg. One third of our gut microbiota is common to most people, while two thirds are specific to each one of us. In other words, the microbiota in your intestine is like an individual identity card.
