How do I improve my gut health?
We recommend:
- Begin with a broad-spectrum live probiotic and take it for three months. It takes time for the gut microbiome to rebalance especially if you are recovering from antibiotics, or if you have a gut disorder
- It’s easy. Take a small dose in the morning before food. You can dilute microbz with water or weak juice
- If your gut is sensitive you can start with a smaller dose and build up gradually. Your gut is unique to you, so your response will be personal to you
- Know that this is a 100% natural product and cannot do any harm. The clue is in the name – the pro (positive) microbes will only benefit the gut and anything not used will pass through naturally.
- To have the best chance to work for you, aim to eat a healthy diet, stay active, drink filtered water and find ways to minimise stress in your life.
Good Luck!

The gut-brain connection
Have you ever had a ‘gut-wrenching feeling’ or ‘butterflies in your stomach’? We use these expressions for a reason. The gastrointestinal tract is very sensitive to emotion.
Your gut is your “second brain”. Ninety per cent of serotonin receptors (the happiness hormone) are found in the gut, not the brain. This is why gut disorders are now linked to anxiety and depression.
We now know that the brain and gut are connected by the vagus nerve which links most of the organs within the body and plays an important role in activating the nervous system. Nearly all of the signals that pass along the vagus nerve come from the enteric nervous system, a huge complex of neurons which lives in and controls the entire gut.
Your enteric nervous system independently and automatically takes care of your nutrition, a huge job in anyone’s book. The brain receives most information about the state of your body through the gut. So let's look after it!
