Product Details
Gastrointestinal (GI) health is a hallmark of overall well-being of an individual. Apart from its usual functions of food digestion and absorption, the GI tract plays a host of other roles including gut-microbiome crosstalk which regulates epithelial and immune functions. The gut-brain axis is responsible for communication between the gut and the central nervous system, influencing cognition, emotional and mental health. GI disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), dyspepsia, ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease can severely affect quality of life and mortality.
