Probiotics are microorganisms that work to support your health by assisting in the body’s natural digestive process.
Trillions of good-for-you microorganisms reside in your digestive tract, helping you function at your best every day. Called probiotics, these microorganisms outnumber your human cells 10 to 1, and they play a role in helping you digest foods, fend off diseases, and even create vitamins.
They’re closely related to a term you might be familiar with — the microbiome, which refers to a mysterious, microscopic world in your gut that scientists are rigorously studying.
Pro-Ven Probiotics aim to provide the best support for both you and your health. If you wish to know more about gut health and staying healthy please do not hesitate to call us on 01639 825107 or alternatively, learn more via our blogs or in-depth proven research.
