INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT YOUR GUT

There is a complex balance of microorganisms in your GI tract, known as the gut microbiota.⁹

The bacteria in the gut microbiota have co-evolved with the human body over thousands of years to form an intricate, mutually beneficial relationship.⁹

The microbiota offers benefits the body by strengthening gut integrity, harvesting energy, protecting against pathogens and regulating immunity.⁹

In an average lifetime, around 60 tonnes of food pass through the GI tract, along with an abundance of microorganisms from the environment, which can affect gut integrity.⁹

When the composition of your gut bacteria is thrown out of balance, you’re at higher risk for inflammatory and infectious diseases.⁹

Symptoms of poor gut health include gas and bloating, fatigue, skin rashes, irritability and sugar cravings.¹⁰

Whether you want to treat a specific condition or give your gut health a boost, coMra is here for you.
