PROBIOTICS | GUT
The gut, along with its intestinal flora, serves as more than just the primary organ for digestion and nutrient absorption; it also plays a vital role in overall well-being and mood regulation. Intestinal flora refers to the collective community of microorganisms that inhabit the digestive tracts of both humans and animals. This dynamic and intricate bacterial ecosystem is responsible for a multitude of essential functions.
Microorganisms
Gastrointestinal flora, or gut flora, refers to all the microorganisms that inhabit the intestines of humans and animals. This dynamic and complex bacterial ecosystem has several important tasks as the gut flora influences digestion, the immune system, produces nutrients and neurotransmitters and represents a central element of health.
Dietary Fibre
Plant-based foods contain a variety of dietary fibres. These special oligo- and polysaccharides are fermented by the numerous bacterial strains in the gut collectively known as the microbiome. Scientific studies have shown that dietary fibre exhibits different properties depending on the plant from which it was isolated, with each type serving as a source of food for specific bacterial species (e.g., Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, Lactobacilli or Bifidobacteria). Focusing on the intake of a variety of dietary fibre therefore seems to be key. All of our plant-based fibres are completely vegan. Our new human milk oligosaccharides (HMO) are vegetarian.
Gut Relief
The gut is an organ of particular importance; relieving it plays a vital role in our well-being.

Human Milk Oligosaccharide (HMO)
Human breast milk contains unique components of various non-digestible carbohydrates called human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). After lactose and lipids, they are the third most common solid component found in human breast milk.
