Gastrointestinal Tract: Friendly Flora

Intestinal flora, also known as friendly flora, is naturally occurring yeast, bacteria, and microorganisms that grow in the intestines. Their purpose is to maintain healthy and functional digestion and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. It is important to keep your friendly flora in balance and in plentiful supply, as this will help regulate your digestive system and prevent gastrointestinal diseases and problems from arising. Supplements such as probiotics and colostrum have been shown to maintain a healthy balance of friendly flora.
