What is gut health?

Gut health looks at the digestion and absorption of nutrients along with the balance of microorganisms living in your digestive tract. Making sure these microorganisms are working together properly plays a huge role in immunity as well as physical, skin and even mental health.

Everyone at some point has experienced digestive problems such as heartburn, gas, bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea and constipation, which can have a negative impact on a person’s wellbeing.

A healthy, fully-functioning gut contains healthy bacteria and immune cells, that can support a better mood, effective digestion that’s free of discomfort and helps with the gut-brain axis connection.
