The intestine can be considered the second brain.
Our digestive tract is home to some 100,000 billion bacteria. This set constitutes our intestinal flora called microbiota and lives in harmony (symbiosis) with our body. Its role is not limited to digestive or immune functions, but also nervous ones. Did you know that the brain is influenced by the intestine? Indeed, the enteric nervous system (ENS) which governs the intestine contains 200 million neurons The intestine interacts closely and bidirectionally with the central nervous system (NES). We speak of a gut-brain axis, through which the two organs communicate. That's why we call the intestine our second brain.
Flora ou microbiota?
They are two expressions for the same thing. “Flore” is commonly used in French when the Anglo-Saxons prefer the term “microbiota” (the content) which designates the set of microorganisms living in a “microbiome” (the container). Microbiota and health It is now accepted that the microbiota plays a role in well-being and health. The list of microbiota disruptors is wide: a diet low in fiber, vitamins and trace elements, but rich in refined foods, various pollutants; alcohol and tobacco; everyday tensions causing stress; hormonal changes; bacterial infections; taking medication; excessive sporting activity… They will trigger an imbalance: some members of the microbiota will find themselves in insufficient numbers and others will see their population increase until they become pathogenic, we speak of dysbiosis.
Mood disorders and anxiety
This imbalance of the microbiota is systematically found in certain diseases and in particular in mood disorders and anxiety. The food intake of selected lactic ferments (microbiotics) is able to restore the intestinal ecosystem, in order to better preserve our neuro-health capital. Some of them produce GABA, one of the main neurotransmitters, which is involved in cerebral well-being and Serotonin: This is the concept of “psychobiotics”. To better manage the quality of your microbiota, trust food supplements manufactured according to the highest quality standards. Also check the excipients, the absence of preservatives, or nanoparticles, and vegetable capsules... Yunova® Pharma offers you Gababiotic®, Combination of four microbiotic strains (Bifidobacterium infantis, Bifidobacterium longum, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus helveticus) and vitamins from group B.
