Did you know that health starts in the gut?

We have a lot to thank the digestive system for.  But because it is safely hidden from view it often doesn't get any attention - until it is causing us discomfort!

The gut consists of 9 metres of intestines with a surface area of a football field.  This huge organ inside our bodies is responsible for absorbing the nutrients we need and eliminating waste and toxins.  It is also where a lot of our immune system activity takes place.

The digestive-immune system provides us with defence against harmful bacteria, viruses, toxins and other environmental challenges such as allergens.

The gut is keeping us healthy 24/7 - but who is looking after it?  That job falls to the beneficial flora that reside within our intestines.  Not only are these bacterial flora the caretakers of the gut but they also work with the immune system to modulate immune response.

Gut health therefore depends on maintaining a healthy population of bacterial flora, and this is regularly compromised by stress, a low fibre diet, coffee, alcohol, antibiotics and infections.  And when our gut is suffering, so do we!

Taking a probiotic supplement helps provide the assurance that the digestive system is in optimal condition, helping us to resist immune challenges, elimate waste and maintain excellent health.

As well as providing a full range of premium probiotics, Primadophilus Reuteri provides Lactobacillus Reuteri, a strain of probiotic with extra power!  L.Reuteri is one of teh first strains to colonise the intestines and is crucial in encouraging the growth of your existing flora - resulting in faster colinisation of all probiotic strains.  L.Reuteri is especially effective in protecting the digestive tract against harmful bugs that find their way into our digestive systems.

Don't wait until you're feeling unwell to look after your hard working digestive system.  Take a probiotic today and every day.
