The Importance of Gut Health
Our gut is the primary connection to the outside world, and the human body is designed to have a balanced gut bacteria population.
80% of the immune system is located in our gut
Good bacteria help us resist disease
Unfortunately, the standard American diet, high in processed foods and artificial preservatives, hinders the growth of good, health promoting gut bacteria. The good bacteria in Flourish probiotics may help restore and replenish the natural balance of good microbes in our gut.
