The importance of a well-functioning intestinal flora cannot be stressed enough. This is a group of micro-organisms that are found in the intestines and lives in symbiosis with the human body. Non-pathogenic, they play an essential role in digestion and the body's defenses. When our intestinal flora become unbalanced, i.e., we have either too many or too few of certain micro-organisms. This can cause bloating, diarrhea or, on the contrary, problems of constipation, bad breath, wiriness, a drop in the immune system capacity, but also irritability, sleep problems, etc.

Dysfunction of the intestinal flora is caused by multiple factors such as diet, stress, taking certain medications, smoking, alcohol, etc.

The use of food supplements such as probiotics and prebiotics is often recommended to restore intestinal flora to its natural balance. Prebiotics are living organisms that are beneficial to the intestinal flora. Prebiotics are substances that promote the development and function of intestinal flora. The ideal combination of the two in symbiosis for an optimal rebalancing of the micro-organisms that make up intestinal flora.

Caring for our intestinal flora is of the utmost importance because they are one of the key centers of our health capital.
