Here are some of these functions that could not be done without the active participation of your Commensal Bacteria:
● Nutrient metabolism – by co-existing with a host body, the Commensal Bacteria extract beneficial nutrients and energy from our diet
● Xenobiotic and drug metabolism – generally assumed that this function is assigned exclusively to the liver as the main filter of the body, but studies show that the Commensal Bacteria are contributing to digestion of such substances, thus offloading the liver
● Antimicrobial protection – Commensal Bacteria provides gut barrier function to protect your body from harmful effects of microbial activity by forming an additional protective layer in the intestine, in such a way, regulating a potential overgrowth of bacterial pathogens
● Immunomodulation – Commensal Bacteria is an active member of immune tandem together with an innate and adaptive system. Mutually, they are straightening the host body to resist the external negative influence on health.
