Digestive Health

Digestion is one of the most important processes in the body, as its function is to keep the body’s supply of water, electrolytes and nutrients in a continuous flow. It is essential to have a healthy digestive system as it serves all other body systems and also, to have a good bioavailability of nutrients, vitamins and minerals. The compounds that aid digestion act on the health of the gastrointestinal tract, including mouth, throat, stomach, intestine, digestive and absorptive capacity and the microbiome.

Immunity

The immune system is made up of cells, tissues and organs that act in the organism’s defense against the harmful effects of external microorganisms. The supplements indicated for immunity act as strengthening agents of this system, increasing the antibodies production and, consequently, its defense activity.

Anti-Inflammatory

One of the main benefits of ginger is its anti-inflammatory power. It is able to reduce the formation of cytokines, molecules produced by the body during the activation phase of immunity that can generate inflammatory processes.
