Our gastrointestinal system is the principal “portal” for obtaining and processing vitamins and minerals, but this system also serves a communication centre and sickness fighter. From our immune and nervous systems to our digestive functions and mental health, a healthy gut plays an important part in our overall well-being. Digestion is pivotal for breaking down foods into nutrients that our bodies use for growth, energy, and cell repair. Food and drinks need to be converted into tinier molecules of nutrients before our blood absorbs them and carry them to cells across our bodies.

“Gut health is the key to overall health.” - Kris Carr
