Supporting digestive function as a foundation for well-being

Digestive function plays a key role in overall health. In recent years, the prevalence of digestive disorders has increased, raising awareness of the importance of supporting gut function as part of a balanced lifestyle. Scientific advances have shown that the digestive system interacts with various physiological systems. Maintaining normal digestive function may therefore contribute to overall well-being, when combined with a varied, balanced diet and healthy habits.

The role of the digestive system in the human body

Beyond its primary role in nutrient absorption and waste elimination, the digestive system is closely interconnected with other body systems, including the immune and nervous systems.
A healthy diet rich in fibre, along with regular physical activity and sufficient hydration, contributes to normal digestive function.

One important factor is the gut microbiota – a diverse community of microorganisms that naturally inhabit the intestinal tract. The composition of this microbiota is influenced by diet, age, lifestyle and other external factors. Dietary components such as fibre, prebiotics and specific probiotic strains may help support the balance of the intestinal microbiota when used appropriately.

The gut microbiota: a dynamic internal ecosystem

The intestinal microbiota also plays a role in the development and normal function of the immune system. Scientific interest is growing in how gut microorganisms influence various physiological processes, with ongoing exploration of their broader contributions to health.

What are probiotics and prebiotics?

Probiotics are defined by the WHO/FAO as “live microorganisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host.” Scientific interest focuses on the role of individual strains in supporting intestinal microbiota and digestive health. Strain-specific research continues to explore the potential applications of probiotics in maintaining a balanced gut environment.
