'ALL diseases begin in the gut.'It is a quote attributed to the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates nearly 2500 years ago.Why is it important to have a healthy gut microbiome? The gut microbiome plays a very important role in one's health by helping control digestion and benefiting the immune system and many other aspects of health.An imbalance of unhealthy and healthy microbes in the intestines may contribute to weight gain, high blood sugar, high cholesterol and other disorders.Gut friendly bacteria do play a supportive role in better absorption of nutrients, minerals and vitamins. They destroy harmful bacteria and other microorganisms.When the gut flora contains too many harmful bacteria and not enough friendly bacteria, an imbalance can occur, commonly referred in medical terms as dysbiosis.A probiotic drink aids in the digestion of the foods eaten, absorbs nutrients and uses it to fuel and maintain the body.Emuflora is a ready-to-drink probiotic supplement containing bacillus clausii and cacillus subtilis spores combined for a dose of good bacteria to fight off the bad ones. It comes in a mini bottle, handy and can be carried along without any hassle.Emuflora is a registered product and approved by the Food and drug administration of the Philippines as food supplement.Emuflora is exclusively distributed by Preventia Healthcare Inc. and is now available at Mercury Drug stores nationwide.
