Description

FloraGenex and The immune System: The immune system is the body’s first line of defence against infection, inflammation and allergy, with a major part of the human immune function residing in the digestive tract.

Much of the activity of the immune system is determined by the close relationship between the cells lining the digestive tract and the hundred trillion of so bacteria and the microflora inhabiting the gut. Greater diversity in the types of microflora inhabiting the gut is associated with better health of the individual.

FloraGenex has been formulated using five plant-derived ingredients, carefully-selected to provide the preferred source of nutrients for the microflora and to supply energy for their own growth and development.

When the microflora digest polysaccharides and polyphenols such as in FloraGenex they produce Short-Chain Fatty Acids (SCFA). The SCFA sends signals to the intestinal cells, activating complex cellular processes that trigger beneficial responses in the body’s many distant cells.
