What’s your gut feeling?
The immune system can often need some extra help to fight bugs, and illnesses. Up to 70% of our immune cells are located in the gut, and supported by a strong microflora. Therefore, one strategy to support the body’s natural immunity in order to prevent initial infection and reduce the need for antibiotics is to consider regular consumption of fermented foods or live bacteria supplements. Bio-Kult is a scientifically developed, advanced multi-strain formula containing 14 live bacterial cultures which are proven to survive the high acidity of the stomach. www.bio-kult.com
