Healthy gut, healthy you

THE father of modern medicine, Hippocrates, once said, “All disease begins in the gut” – a quote that still holds true today. The gut plays a vital role in our health, especially in bowel function, digestion and immunity. Unfortunately, many people tend to neglect their gut health until they repeatedly experience gastrointestinal problems such as constipation.

According to the American Journal of Gastroentology, irregular bowel movement or constipation affects nearly a quarter of the world population. Most individuals resort to laxatives as a quick fix for bowel irregularity. However, longterm use of laxatives often results in decreased bowel function (also known as lazy gut syndrome) and may lead to laxative dependency.

Therefore, prolonged laxative use is highly discouraged and should be replaced with natural food remedies that combine dietary fibre with probiotics to maintain good gut health.

Natural way to manage bowel movement

Biogrow ProGut is made from all-natural Swedish oat fibre formulated with dual action from the well-researched Oat BG22 fibre powder and Bifidobacterium lactis BB-12 probiotic strain from Denmark – a strain of Bifidobacterium featured in more than 300 scientific publications and with over 130 clinical studies carried out on it.

One sachet daily provides a synergistic effect for improved intestinal function and a balanced gut microbiota. To consume, mix one sachet (≈7g) with cold water, fruit juice, cereal or yoghurt. One or two sachets a day after meals or whenever convenient is recommended.

Each sachet contains 2.4g soluble and insoluble fibres with one billion colony-forming units of live probiotic cultures. Biogrow ProGut is suitable for all who wish to maintain or improve gut health as it offers a natural way to manage bowel movement with the benefits of fibre and probiotics.
