Immune support for wellness is of utmost importance, for without it, the body simply cannot function to serve and protect you. And this is the purpose of your immune function: to serve and protect. 

When we think of immune support, we automatically focus on the many vitamins and minerals that we need to enhance immune function- Vitamin C is one of the most prominent. Of course, Vitamin C is a major player in immune function but it naturally acts more powerfully when broader actions for immune function are taken. 

Absorption

It is commonly pushed aside that our digestive function is heavily tied into our immune system and how well it works. Often, we are conditioned to taking our wellbeing supplements without ever really appreciating what they need to do the job. 

This is why absorption is a vital component in vitamin supplementation as well as daily nutrition. After all, if your body is not able to digest vitamins and minerals appropriately then how can this improve your immune function and overall wellness? 

How your body absorbs vitamins and minerals is crucial to how effectively they support your health and wellbeing! Factors that can affect how you digest vitamins and minerals may include: taking antibiotics or other prescribed medication, not drinking enough water, poor nutrition, stress, and food sensitivity or allergy. 

Gut health is fundamental to improved immune function. The more you can work toward better digestive health, the more you can improve the strength of your immune system. 

Why you need great gut health! 

The gut microbiome is often considered to be the "second brain." The brain and your gut are intrinsically connected and much has been noted about the relationship between good gut health and overall wellness in all aspects, physical, mental, and emotional. Yes, we also hold a lot of emotion in our gut! Hence the feelings we get such as butterflies when we are nervous or excited, or knots of anxiety when we are feeling stressed which can lead to poor digestive function. 

Ultimately, the gut microbiome is home to trillions of bacteria and this balance of good and bad bacteria can often affect the rest of your body. 

When there are too many harmful bacteria, it may lead to a risk of inflammation. Inflammation in the body can weaken the immune response and also cause bloating and poor digestion (among other health issues). When there are enough good bacteria, this helps strengthen the immune system response, improves overall wellness, and can also positively affect your mood. Remember, the longest relationship you will ever have is with your body, so treat it well!

Wellness begins with the gut microbiome and Kibow® Biotech are specialists in this area! 

“Within your gut microbiome, there's a balance between "good" and "bad" bacteria. When an imbalance of "good" and "bad" bacteria occurs, it starts to affect the immune system. The gut cannot effectively assist the immune system until there are enough "good" bacteria present”- Kibow Biotech 

Kibow® Biotech is a small, family-owned biotechnology company located in the suburbs of Philadelphia, PA. Kibow® Biotech was founded in 1997 and specializes in the development and commercialization of scientifically-formulated and well-documented prebiotic and probiotic dietary supplements. 

Kibow® specializes in supplements for maintaining overall wellness through the gut microbiome. They provide the highest quality non-drug dietary supplements at affordable prices and all of Kibow's pre/probiotics are manufactured in an FDA approved cGMP facility (Current Good Manufacturing Practice). 

Kibow's supplements are made with all-natural ingredients and are gluten-free, sugar-free, and non-GMO. All of the ingredients in Kibow® products are GRAS Certified (Generally Regarded As Safe). Kibow® is passionate about your health! Their products are available through their online website and also on Amazon. Here are two of them, Kibow Flora™ and Kibow Fortis®. 

Kibow Flora™: 

Kibow Flora™ is an all-natural probiotic dietary supplement. Kibow Flora™ is comprised of 6 probiotic bacteria strains with 30 billion Colony Forming Units (CFUs) per capsule. 

Each strain in Kibow Flora™ has been well-studied and highly documented, and is known for its unique wellness properties. Together, these strains help restore a healthy gut microbial balance and improve immunity. 

Some of the other health benefits of Kibow Flora™ include:

• Intestinal flora maintenance, improving overall wellness

• Balancing immunity

• Reducing the risk of antibiotic-related diarrhea

Kibow Flora™ is protected in an acid-resistant capsule to ensure that the bacteria reach the gut safely and survive the stomach acid. Kibow Flora™ must be refrigerated upon arrival to ensure that the bacteria in each capsule remain in pristine condition. Kibow Flora™ is gluten-free, sugar-free, Non-GMO, and vegetarian (because it is cultured- similar to dairy). 

Kibow Fortis®: 

Kibow Fortis® is an all-natural prebiotic dietary supplement made with 7-Functional Fibers. Unlike other fiber products, Kibow Fortis® is a multi-fiber nutritional supplement. 

Most store-bought fiber products are made with a single-fiber formula. Kibow Fortis® is made with soluble and insoluble fibers. This fiber formulation provides an optimum environment for a healthy balance of good bacteria in the intestinal flora matrix. It also supports the creation of essential Short-Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs) throughout the colon.

Some of the health benefits of Kibow Fortis® include:

• Satiety (feeling of fullness)

• Weight management

• Promotion of digestive health, lipid reduction

• Intestinal flora maintenance. 

“95% of Americans do not consume enough fiber in their diet, which is where Kibow Fortis® comes into play. When there isn't enough fiber in one's diet, it frequently leads to constipation, weight gain, and inconsistent blood sugar levels. Kibow Fortis® is gluten-free, sugar-free, non-GMO, vegan, and does not require any refrigeration”- Kibow Biotech 

Dual Supplementation for Best Results! Here is why it’s important to take Kibow Flora™ & Kibow Fortis® together: 

Prebiotics and Probiotics work together to make your gut microflora flourish. Prebiotics are made up of dietary fibers, which include either soluble or insoluble fibers. Soluble fibers create Short Chain Fatty Acids, which play an essential role in overall health. 

Short Chain Fatty Acids are produced when the "good" bacteria (probiotics) break down the fiber in the colon. Some of the health benefits of Short Chain Fatty Acids include a decrease in inflammation, a reduction in the growth of harmful bacteria, and appetite control. Insoluble fibers promote the movement of material through the digestive system and increase stool bulk. Prebiotics are used as an energy source for Probiotics. 

“By consuming Kibow Fortis®, it allows Kibow Flora™ to do an even better job than by itself. This includes boosting the immune system, aiding digestion, encouraging the growth of "good" bacteria (i.e., probiotics) in the gut, and several other health benefits. 

Taking Kibow Flora™ & Kibow Fortis® together also helps balance immunity. Believe it or not, about 70% of the immune system is located in the gut microbiome. The gut microbiome is filled with microbes (also known as gut flora)” Kibow Biotech
