Gut Microbiota
The colony of microorganisms that live inside the intestines can often mean the difference between illness and wellness. We call them gut microbiota.
What are microbiota?
Microbiota refers to tiny organisms found throughout the interior of the small and large intestines. For proper digestive functioning, microbiota colonies need to be in balanced states.
How do microbiota work?
Microbiota works together in a communal fashion so that you receive the necessary nutrients, immunity and protection from everything entering the digestive system.
What is the difference between microbiota and probiotics?
Microbiota refers to the living organisms already present within the gut. Probiotics are live bacterias that, when consumed, will support and stabilize existing microbial communities in the body.
Is there a difference between gut microbiota and intestinal flora?
No, these are simply two names used to refer to the same thing.
What is their role?
Microbiota refers to tiny organisms found throughout the interior of the small and large intestines. For proper digestive functioning, microbiota colonies need to be in balanced states.
Gut Microbiota
An imbalance of the gut microbiota has been linked to various diseases, from gut & mood disorders to autoimmune problems. Still, there are a lot of ongoing studies on these. Learn how balancing microbiota can put you in better control of your body.
Why is microbiota important
The success or failure of your bowel movements is largely dependent on your microbiota colony. More than this, microbiota are essential to nutrient absorption, pathogenic immunity and healthy brain behavior.
What is intestinal flora?
Intestinal flora, or gut flora, are the same as microbiota and include all bacteria, archaea and fungi that live within the digestive tract.
How are they related to good health?
Gut disorder occurs when various daily triggers affect the numbers of microbiota, or intestinal flora, present in the intestines. A balance in microbiota means less susceptibility to gut-related illness, both short-term and long-term.
Different gut disorders stemming from imbalanced microbiota
We all experience gut disorders from time to time. Learn how to identify the different symptoms — are any familiar to you?
Gut Disorders in Adults
Diarrhea’s Impact on Health
An unbalanced gut has the tendency to leak, and the result is watery bowel movement. Triggers include bacterial and viral infections and medications.
Antibiotic Effects
Antibiotics affect the gut by causing sensitivity, making it more vulnerable. Side effects include abdominal pain and diarrhea/ constipation.
Common Bellyache
A most common gut disorder, bellyache can be triggered by an imbalance in intestinal flora. Indigestion and food sensitivity are to be expected.
Lazy Gut, Lazy Life
A condition of various triggers, whereby the gut becomes slow or sluggish. This condition involves constipation and/or painful bowel movements.
The Bloating Experience
Excessive gas in the gut will cause visible bloating and abdominal discomfort, usually alongside constipation.
Gut During Pregnancy
Estrogen and progesterone affect normal gut function while the body is creating life, causing nausea, constipation, gas retention & discomfort. May lead to imbalance. Consult HCP before using any probiotic/EG.
Gut Disorders in Children
Diarrhea’s Impact on Health
Leaky gut is common in kids when the intestinal flora is unbalanced, making them vulnerable to infectious diseases like diarrhea.
Common Antibiotic Effects
Antibiotics can improve overall health, but may eradicate good-bacteria in the process, leading to cramping, nausea, and watery stools. Children are more sensitive to this than adults.
Dealing with Bellyache
Bellyache is a common occurrence in little ones; the array of triggers for this condition are immense. Learn how to identify and treat them.

How can Bacillus clausii help you solve your gut problems?
Bacillus clausii is a type of spore-forming good bacteria that works to rebalance the intestine. When consumed regularly (or as advised by a HCP), it can help to treat and prevent different conditions associated to gut disorder.
