Hello!

Years ago it was thought 37% of our immune system was in the gut. With continued research we now know 75-80% of it lives there.

The flora, living in our digestive tract is VERY important to the immune system. It is now termed “microbiome”. The microbiome is now called an endocrine (hormone producing) gland. In truth, cancer, auto-immune disease, asthma, allergies, diabetes, alzheimer’s ….are all on the rise and are all connected with digestive health. We want to look to the digestive tract as it controls all the major systems of the body including cardiovascular and the central nervous system.
Gastrointestinal immune cells are called Peyer’s Patches-they protect the mucus membranes of the small intestines against infection. The proper flora directly boosts these immune cells to do a better job.

High quality probiotics backed by clinical studies and proper testing give full coverage of the digestive tract to help keep our immune systems strong. You want probiotics that have different flora proven to be live when ingested. That’s the only way we get help. Many products list the amount of flora on the label but it died off long before it was swallowed. This is wasting people’s valuable resources.-their money!

I do work with high quality probiotics that I can recommend that have been proven to work. This is one of the most important areas of our health that we certainly do not want to neglect.

Love your gut!
