What Are Probiotics?
‘Live micro-organisms which, when administered in adequate amount, confer a health benefit on the host’ eg. Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota - (FAO&WHO,2001)
Probiotics are good bacteria that help keep your gut healthy. When you consume
them in the right amount—they reach your gut alive to support digestion, help in better
absorption of nutrients and thus help and improve overall health.
Nutrition Absorption
90% of the food gets digested in the small intestine and reabsorption of water and minerals takes place in the large intestine. Probiotics help in increasing the good bacteria which help in improving gut health for better nutrient absorption.
Immune function
Gut is the largest immune organ of the body. as it contains more than 70% of the body’s immune system. Probiotics help in activating immune cells.
Better Absorption Starts Here
Your body isn’t nourished by what you eat—but by what you absorb.
