SIMCAPS®: Probiotics for Gastrointestinal Health

Gut Health: A Path to Well-Being and Wholeness
The intestine plays a crucial role in the absorption of nutrients and the elimination of toxins, and is essential for maintaining the overall health of the body. The intestinal microbiota, composed of more than a trillion microorganisms, when balanced, ensures the proper functioning of the intestine, which in turn is closely linked to the brain, often referred to as the "second brain". This organ is responsible for releasing neurotransmitters such as serotonin, contributing to emotional well-being and playing a vital role in the immune system, where 70% of immune cells are concentrated.
