Research overwhelmingly indicates that gut health impacts overall health. Gut health plays a central role in digestion, immune function, and overall well-being.

A healthy gut helps absorb nutrients, protect against harmful bacteria, and regulate the immune system. It also influences brain health through the gut-brain connection, affecting mood, cognition, and mental health.

Imbalances in the gut microbiome can contribute to various health issues, including digestive disorders, autoimmune conditions, skin problems, and even mental health challenges.
