Microbiota - what is it?
The microbiota is a collection of living microorganisms—bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and viruses—that inhabit the digestive tracts of humans and animals. They form a complex ecosystem, unique to each individual. Disturbances in the microbiota can lead to conditions such as diarrhea, allergies, obesity, and stress-related problems. The microbiota also plays a crucial role in the proper functioning of the immune system.
The composition of the microbiota is influenced by many factors, such as diet, genetics, and the animal's health. Therefore, it's crucial to support it with appropriate nutrition. As knowledge about microbiota and gut health grows, so does the awareness that a daily diet can be an effective tool for supporting the digestion and overall well-being of our pets.
How to support microbiota on a daily basis?
Instead of merely reacting to your pet's digestive issues, it's worth focusing on rebuilding and supporting healthy gut microflora. One effective way is to provide your pet with the following daily:
- Probiotics – i.e. live, beneficial bacteria,
- Prebiotics – ingredients (mainly fiber) that support the development of beneficial microorganisms.
ProBiotic LIVE is a complete food that combines these two elements – it contains both live probiotics and a rich blend of natural sources of fiber with prebiotic properties. This supports the unique microbiota of each animal, ensuring its digestion, immunity, and overall well-being every day.
