When we talk about your ‘gut’, we are referring to your intestines. The long tube that helps your digest food and that takes waste from your stomach all the way out of your body.
Although we often say we have ‘stomach’ pain, this pain is rarely actually in your stomach, and is instead in your intestines.
Your gut is central to your whole body and is connected, in some way or another, to every other organ. It has large, direct connections to other organs involved in digestion (liver, kidneys, pancreas etc) as well as more subtle connections with your heart, lungs, skin, bones and brain.
Your gut microbiome is a hugely complex ecosystem. It’s much like a coral reef or rainforest. Made up of trillions of bacteria, viruses, fungi and other microbes, over 1000 different species interact in the intestine, competing for food and space.
Like a coral reef, the greater diversity of life, the healthier the ecosystem. The same is generally true of the gut.
Historically, scientists believed that the only function of the gut was to digest your food, by absorbing nutrients and excreting waste.
However, exciting science in the last 10 years has proven that your gut (and microbiome) does so much more for your body.
Keeping in shape is something that many of us find difficult, but maintaining a healthy gut could help to change that for good.
The immune system is the body’s first form of defence - around 70% of this system relies on the health of your gut.
The connection between your gut and your heart is more central to your health and wellbeing than we’d ever thought before.
A healthy brain requires a healthy gut - the connection between these two organs could be the key to improving your health.
LP299v® is one of the most clinically tested and supported bacteria ever made. Over fifty clinical studies in thousands of adults show proven results in improving gut health.
LP299v is highly resistant to the digestive processes, meaning it will arrive at the gut intact to bind effectively with what’s the mannose receptor.

WLP299v is highly resistant to the digestive processes, meaning it arrives in your gut intact. Once it gets there, it binds effectively with your gut cells through a connection called the mannose receptor.
Binding to gut cells in this way leads to more production of mucus, which strengthens the gut wall. This may also prevent other harmful bacteria from binding to your gut.
of the active group were shown to have LP299v activated and colonised in the gut.
men reported that LP299v help them to treat Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).

"The gut microbiome is one of the most exciting areas of research in human biology today. We are only just uncovering how important your gut microbes are for every aspect of your health, from belly to brain."

Sons live probiotic is designed to arrive at the gut intact. Here it binds closely to the cells lining your gut using a connection called the mannose receptor.
Binding to gut cells in this way leads to more production of mucus in the gut which strengthens the gut wall. This binding may also prevent other harmful bacteria from binding to your gut.
