Digestive Enzymes for Gut Health and Immune Support

Boosts Immune System

Did you know 70% of the immune system is located in the intestines?

The food we eat and the nutrients it contains don’t actually enter the bloodstream without first making its way through the gut wall. This makes the gut key for the proper function of the body’s immune system.

Good gut bacteria protect us by strengthening the gut wall, regulating the inflammatory immune response. Fatigue, occasional headaches and digestive issues can all be signs of a sub-optimal immune system.

Relieves Allergies

A healthy immune system easily distinguishes between harmless compounds and those that trigger disease. In people with allergies, however, these signals get mixed. Harmless compounds — such as pollen — get flagged as harmful invaders / a potential threat.

The immune system then creates antibodies to target that particular allergen. The immune system’s response to the allergen is the release of histamines, which leads to the classic allergy symptoms of sneezing, itchy nose or eyes, runny nose and watery eyes. Probiotics help keep the immune response regulated without going overboard and attacking harmless compounds that may cause you to experience allergy symptoms.

Healthy Brain Function

Research shows that the gut and brain are connected, a partnership called the gut-brain axis. The two are linked through biochemical signaling. More specifically, this communication occurs between the nervous system in the digestive tract and the central nervous system, which includes the brain. When your brain senses trouble, it sends warning signals to the gut, which is why stressful events can cause digestive problems like a nervous or upset stomach.

Research has found that probiotics may help boost mood and cognitive function and lower stress and unease.
