Healthy gut allows healthy digestion, which results in adequate,
absorption of nutrients and dispersal of toxins in the body.

Pro-Bone Density, Protein Absorption
Active Adults and Seniors
Good digestion helps regulate
metabolism, which aids weight
management. The resultant good
absorption, prevents bloating post
meals. In addition, good gut health
facilitates function of the gall bladder
which is to digesting fat soluble
components such as proteins and
vitamin D
17. Gut Health: Anti-stress, Anti-depression
Good digestion helps regulate the body clock, and when the
body is not under stress, it releases „good hormones‟ which
alleviate our mood, improve our response to anxiety. Enabling us
to de-stress better, fight depression better, making us less irritable
and agitated through the day.

Good digestion helps regulate the blood
flow in the body, allows better oxygenation
of the blood, and higher production of
anti-bodies. In addition, good digestion
boosts absorption and catalyzation of
good cholesterol versus harmful
cholesterol. Together, this results in more
potent immunity and better heart health.
