A healthy gut lining acts as a barrier- keeping most microbes and toxins inside the intestines and helping prevent unnecessary immune activation. Good bacteria contribute to this defense by supporting mucus and gut-wall integrity. 🧱

Certain gut microbes break down dietary fiber into short-chain fatty acids, which act as messengers that support a calm, well-regulated immune response. This is one of the many ways diet and microbial health intersect. 🌱

The gut and immune system are deeply connected. A balanced microbiome helps the body respond appropriately, meaning not overreacting to harmless exposures and staying ready to defend against true threats that come through the gut. 🧬

When it’s balanced, you feel well.
When it’s depleted or overrun by “weeds” (ie bad bacteria), it can affect your whole body from inflammation to energy levels.

A synbiotic combines probiotics AND prebiotics together in one formula, for a synergistic effect.
The probiotic provides beneficial bacteria, while the prebiotic helps to feed certain butyrate-producing species which can't be taken as a probiotic.

We all need certain types of good bacteria to produce an anti-inflammatory substance called butyrate that supports the gut barrier.
Prebiotics are special fibers that pass through your stomach to feed these good bacteria in your lower gut.

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that you can take orally for good health.
They generate short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that help support immunity, reduce inflammation, and can help with production of vitamins.💊
