Q: What is the role of Prebiotic Soluble Corn Fibre in the formulation and how it supports digestive health?
Prebiotic Soluble Corn Fibre plays a role in the following...
Nutrient Absorption: The gut lining serves as the gateway from the digestive system to the bloodstream, which flows to organs and tissues. When the inner lining of gut tissues is healthy, the function of nutrient absorption is optimal, facilitating optimal skin nourishment.
Inflammation Control: The gut plays a role in regulating systemic inflammation. Chronic inflammation is associated with various skin conditions, so a healthy gut can contribute to a reduction in skin inflammation.
Stress Management: The gut-brain axis is a bidirectional communication system between the gut and the brain. Stress can impact gut health, and a compromised gut can contribute to stress. Stress is involved as trigger factor in different skin conditions. Thus, managing stress through a healthy gut may positively influence skin conditions exacerbated by stress."
