Adequate digestive function is required to maintain a healthy microbiome and intestinal environment. Digestive secretions inhibit undesirable microflora and promote an environment that favors the colonization of beneficial microbiota.\u003csup\u003e1,2\u003c\/sup\u003e In turn, these microbiota benefit the host by supporting digestive function (i.e. metabolizing nutrients for energy), helps in reducing undesirable microflora, and by producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and other metabolites that help to maintain intestinal health and balance.\u003csup\u003e3\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA healthy microbiome also supports immune function via the immune-related tissues of the intestine such as the intestinal lymph tissue. If this balance is disrupted – commonly due to poor diet, gastrointestinal upsets or stress\u003csup\u003e4\u003c\/sup\u003e – the intestinal environment and subsequent function can become unbalanced. This results in gastrointestinal symptoms such as intestinal bloating, flatulence and discomfort.\u003csup\u003e5\u003c\/sup\u003e As such, rebalancing the intestinal environment may help to reduce these symptoms, promote a healthy microbiome and restore optimal digestive function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat is Gut Flora Complex?\u003cbr\u003eGut Flora Complex is a unique supplement that combines herbs and essential oils to support a healthy digestive environment and digestive function.*\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhen should I take Gut Flora Complex?\u003cbr\u003eThe ideal time to take Gut Flora Complex is before food, or as directed by your health care professional.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWho can benefit from Gut Flora Complex?\u003cbr\u003ePatients experiencing stress, digestive upset, or who don’t eat as well as they should, may benefit from Gut Flora Complex.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003csup\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReferences: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1.
