What is the microbiome?

The microbiome is the collection of all microorganisms that inhabit a particular environment - for example, the human body. Every person has a unique microbiome that is formed from birth and is influenced by, for example, diet, lifestyle, or antibiotics. The microbiome is not just a passive part of the body, it is a living, active ecosystem that is constantly changing and interacting with itself and our body to maintain symbiosis.

Where can we find it?

Microbiomes are located in various places in our bodies. The largest one is found in the intestines. It can weigh up to 2 kg and is home to 100 trillion microorganisms, which together affect digestion, immunity and mood (gut-brain axis). Other microbiomes are found on the skin, in the mouth, in the respiratory, urinary and genital tracts, and due to the significant connection with the intestines, we can also speak of a cardiovascular microbiome. Each of these microbiomes contributes to the overall health and balance of the organism.

Why keep your microbiome healthy?

They play a key role. A healthy microbiome helps protect the body from microorganisms and supports the immune system. Therefore, maintaining microbiomes in good condition supports overall vitality and resilience. The skin microbiome protects the skin and maintains its proper pH and hydration. Oral contributes to healthy teeth, gums and fresh breath, while urogenital maintains balance in the urinary tract and genitals.

Monolaurin – a substance inspired by breast milk

Monolaurin is a compound formed by combining lauric acid and glycerol. Lauric acid is found naturally not only in coconut oil, but also in breast milk, where it plays an important role. Thanks to its targeted action, it does not disrupt the natural symbiosis in the intestinal, skin and urogenital microbiome.

Pau d'Arco - natural immune support

The bark of the red lapach contains powerful antioxidants. Pau d'Arco contributes to maintaining healthy blood pressure and microcirculation, which helps proper blood flow to tissues. It supports normal kidney function and excretion, helping the body get rid of unwanted substances and maintain symbiosis in the urogenital tract. In addition, it promotes relaxation and quality sleep, which contributes to the overall harmony of the body.

Natural antibiotic from olive leaves

An extract rich in oleuropein, which is known for its antioxidant and cleansing properties. This natural antibiotic helps cleanse the gastrointestinal and intestinal tract, contributing to normal digestion and intestinal balance, without disrupting the beneficial microflora or negatively affecting its function. This ingredient not only protects cells from oxidative stress, but also promotes detoxification.

Antioxidant synergy

Oregano contributes to natural immunity, normal respiratory system function and healthy digestion, thereby supporting balance in the respiratory and intestinal systems. Thanks to its antioxidant properties and immune support, garlic contributes to the overall resistance of the body and the normal function of the respiratory tract. Grape seed extract helps protect cells from oxidative stress, supports the immune system and contributes to normal skin condition, which is important for the skin microbiome. Together, these components support the harmony of the organism.
