Did you know that over 70% of your immune system is tied to your gut health?
That’s right!
The millions of microorganisms living in your intestines at this very moment are responsible for protecting you against practically every disease known to man.
Your gut microbiome is an indispensable part of your wellbeing.
But when was the last time you paid attention to your gut health? Or that of your children? After all, a healthy gut is the secret to a healthy childhood.
Your child’s gut bacteria play a key role in their growth and development. They help regulate growth hormones, train immune responses and aid nutrient absorption.
That’s why it’s crucial to protect and promote your child’s gut health. Especially while they’re still young.
One simple and easy way to boost good gut health is through probiotic drinks!
When taken regularly, probiotic drinks replenish existing gut bacteria. This helps your body fight off infections, improve digestion, as well as produce important hormones and enzymes that can improve your appetite, sleep, and energy.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Probiotics can also help aid digestion, prevent bowel disorders, and even prevent colds and flu.
One brand that has been a consistent and trusted source for gut health maintenance is VITAGEN.
Read on to learn more about how VITAGEN is the probiotic drink that every family needs.
The Power of Probiotics
A time-honoured probiotic drink, VITAGEN contains billions of two live clinical proven strains named Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus paracasei.
These gut microbiotas impart various benefits when kept at a healthy level within the intestines. These are some of the benefits of probiotics; not only for the gut but for overall health and wellbeing.
VITAGEN Regular, with its four signature flavours (apple, orange, grape and original) have always been part of most of our childhoods.
VITAGEN Less Sugar range is 30% less sugar than the VITAGEN Regular range with the same goodness of probiotic.
Drinking VITAGEN everyday offers many benefits. Here are just some of them.
Aids Digestion and Your Overall Health
Probiotics have been shown to help improve the body’s ability to absorb essential nutrients, particularly protein.
This means that when you have optimal levels of good gut bacteria, you are able to efficiently make use of the food you eat, whether that’s for energy, recovery and even growth.
Plus, probiotics have been shown to greatly improve your immunity, helping fight off infections, inflammation and allergies.
Probiotic cultures are the key components of your body’s immunity. As mentioned, about 70% – 80% of the immune system is found in the gut.
In one study* by Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre (HUKM), the probiotic content found in VITAGEN has a positive impact on gut health and immune system.
Prevent Bowel Issues
Research has also proven that probiotic drink such as VITAGEN can greatly improve digestive processes. Below are the results gathered from the same research* done by VITAGEN:
- 96% of respondents saw improvement with constipation symptoms
- 45% of respondents experienced shorter toilet time
- 33% of respondents spent less time digesting food
- 36% of respondents had less straining
- 31% of respondents had softer stools
If you’re taking antibiotics, a good probiotic beverage like VITAGEN can also help with antibiotic-induced diarrhoea by replenishing good bacteria, which many people struggle with.
Prevent Colds and Flu
Does your child suffer regularly from the sniffles? The probiotics in VITAGEN may help minimise their symptoms and even prevent recurring infections.
Due to the immunity boosting powers of the good bacteria contained in this probiotic drink, VITAGEN can help reduce the severity upper respiratory infections.
