A healthy intestinal flora is extremely important for everyone. The main ingredient of our three Gut Support formulas is an HMO (human milk oligosaccharide). HMO’s are very specific indigestible carbohydrates (prebiotics) that support intestinal health and have nutrigenomic effects.
This type of prebiotics can boost the growth of probiotics (beneficial bacteria) in the gut, because they feed bifidobacteria, one of the most important probiotics. Bifidobacteria and other probiotics dominate the gut microbiome to prevent colonization by potential pathogens.
Besides that, there are common genetic variants, that can lead to an increased need for HMO's for healthy intestinal flora.
