Winter immunity starts now.
Find out how precision probiotics can help build your defences.
Did you know that around 70% of your immune system lives in your gut?1
The gut acts as a training ground where immune cells learn to recognise and respond to the germs we encounter every day.
Supporting your gut health is one of the most effective ways to prepare your defences before winter arrives.
Immune resilience is also built through the small, consistent habits we practice every day.
Safe sun exposure supports vitamin D synthesis which is essential for immune regulation,2 while eating a diverse range of colourful wholefoods delivers the prebiotic fibre your gut microbiome thrives on.3 Spending time in nature, staying active, and prioritising sleep all work together to support your body's defences.4,5
Adding a once-daily precision probiotic into your routine is a simple, research-backed way to help better prepare your immune system for the colder months.
Not all probiotics work in the same way. Specific, clinically-researched probiotic strains can interact with the gut's immune tissue,6 helping to train immune cells to respond more effectively so that you can enhance immune system function,7,8,9 reduce the occurrence of common colds10,11 and reduce the severity of cold symptoms if you do get sick.12
