Towards a healthier gut
DO you know that our gut harbours over 100 trillion microbial cells which influence our physiology, nutrition, metabolism and immune function?
Disruption to the gut microbiota (microbial imbalance) may cause constipation, diarrhoea and bloating. Ageing is one of the factors of a disrupted gut microbiota.
The gut microbiota composition of the elderly will change as we age and “bad” bacteria will gradually become more dominant than “good” bacteria.

Biogrow Progut is suitable for those who wish to maintain or improve gut health as it offers a drug-free way to manage bowel movement with the power of fibre and probiotics.
Constipation is a commonly reported bowel symptom among the elderly due to a low-fibre diet and poor lifestyle.
Therefore, many frustrated elderly patients resort to laxatives as a quick fix for constipation.
However, long-term use of laxatives often results in decreased bowel function or lazy bowel syndrome and it may also lead to laxative dependency.
Therefore, prolonged laxative
use is discouraged and should be replaced with natural food remedies that combine dietary fibre and probiotics for the improvement of bowel movement and restoration of gut function.
