GUT HEALTH

A focus on gut microbiome and digestion.

IT ALL STARTS WITH THE GUT

About 200 species of microorganisms live in your intestines.

How well do we feed the 'good' bacteria in our gut? Significant health impacts stem from our gut. Prebiotic compounds help feed living probiotic micro-organisms that cultivate gut microbiome balance and support overall health.
