Wether it’s weight-loss, immune support, or improved energy levels the Gut or GI track is at the centre of it all.

The gut plays important roles in creating essential nutrients that we can’t live without, improving function of organs, and combating pathogens, infection and disease.

Strong GI system (Gut) has been linked to numerous total body health benefits including greater immunity, lower inflammation, and decrease of metabolic diseases, cancers and neurodegeneration.

To do all these things, the body hosts trillions of micro-organisms that make up the microbiome (also known as gut flora). This unique environment of unicellular organisms is super important to overall health and needs to be balanced through proper foods or polyphenols.
