The body’s immune system is a vast collection of white blood cells, antibody proteins and other factors that keep us healthy. It fights and overcomes just about every nasty virus and bacteria we are constantly exposed to. Most folks know this already.
What few people know is that about 70% of our immune system is in the colon. It is here that there is a constant battle being waged between the good bacteria that promote and enhance our immune system and the nasty characters that wish to do us ill. E. Coli, Clostridium Difficile (AKA C. Dif), and Salmonella are a few of these nasty bugs you've probably heard of. Bad news indeed!
But when the beneficial bacteria grow prodigiously in the colon, they strengthen the immune system. Prebiotic plant fibers, in particular inulin and oligofructose, are the fuel that drives the system. A diet rich in a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains along with our Prebiotin™ prebiotics, provide the required level of prebiotic fibers and ensure your colon continues to win the war on 'bad bugs'.
