Overview

A healthy digestive system begins with the correct balance of good bacteria within the gastrointestinal tract. With adequate levels of 'beneficial' or 'good' bacteria, it has a positive impact on health and wellbeing.

Gut Balance has antimicrobial properties which help control the proliferation of 'bad' bacteria, and it offers anti-inflammatory properties. It contains Prebiotics which provide nutrition for 'friendly' intestinal bacteria to flourish. It is beneficial in treating various digestive problems such as constipation, diarrhoea and inflammatory bowel diseases like irritable bowel syndrome. It is helpful in other conditions which are affected by the digestive function, including skin inflammation, food allergies and candida.

Gut Balance also contains Probiotics which help maintain a healthy balance of intestinal bacteria and Lactoferrin, which promotes the growth of healthy flora in the digestive system. Gastrointestinal disease and relative malabsorption play a significant role in determining the overall nutritional status of an individual. The best diet possible will be of little value unless the food is well digested and assimilated. Poor digestion leads invariably to low levels of absorption and assimilation of food, resulting in ill health.

Gut balance is mixture of quality Probiotics and Prebiotics which mean bacteria can survive longer in the gut. What is more important than the number of bacteria in the gut is an environment for good bacteria to grow.

Gut Balance does not have to be refrigerated as it is made using a high quality blend of Probiotics, and moisture content is minimized during manufacturing process by controlling the humidity.
