Unlocking the Power of Your Microbiome: The Key to Whole-Body Health

Microbiome plays a critical role in your whole-body health.

The microbiome is defined as “the cells, components, and genomes of all the microbes in a particular environment”—for example, in and on a human. Your gut contains 95% of your body’s microbes, and this is known as the gut microbiome.

So why does this matter?

The body is complex and interconnected—and the gut microbiome sits at the core of it all. It’s been found to influence everything from gut barrier integrity to the intestinal cycling of cholesterol and the maintenance of healthy skin. It can synthesize key nutrients like B vitamins which play a major role in our health. It can even impact our mood and behavior, as recent research into the gut-brain axis suggests.

The growing amount of evidence and research substantiating these links presents probiotics as a powerful tool to support and strengthen the gut microbiome, which in turn may impact other crucial areas of health.

Be sure to include probiotics in your nutrition plan; your gut will love you for it!
