THE GUT-BODY CONNECTION
You might wonder what your digestive system has to do with spinal health. The connection? Inflammation. When your gut microbiome is out of whack, it can initiate systemic bodily systemic inflammation, including the tissues surrounding your spine. This inflammation can contribute to back pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. New research reveals the powerful role probiotics play in bringing balance back to your gut microbiota. These beneficial bacteria help maintain the delicate ecosystem in your digestive tract, supporting not just digestive health but overall wellness.
