The human digestive tract is the residence of thousands of species of bacteria and microbes – some good, and some bad. Most species will coexist peacefully and serve to enhance the digestion of food, absorption of nutrients, and detoxification of toxins. They will also support the immune system, keeping pathological conditions in check.

It then becomes necessary to restore microbial balance for optimal health.
