Gut Health in Winter: Why Digestion Impacts Your Immune System

With the winter months quickly approaching, many people tend to ramp up their daily immune-boosting supplement routines. While there's absolutely no harm in doing so, it's important not to overlook the critical role that gut health plays in immunity — along with many other essential functions in the body.

The Gut-Immune Connection

Did you know that 70–80% of immune-related cells are located in the gut? These cells are vital in defending the body against pathogens and diseases and in strengthening the immune response. Since gut health directly impacts immune function, it makes sense to support it, especially during the colder months when our bodies are more vulnerable.

This is exactly where our FoodGrown™ Digestion and GI Health range comes in.

Enhance Nutrient Absorption with Digestive Enzymes

Our FoodGrown Full Spectrum Digestive Enzymes offers a powerful combination of 11 diverse enzymes that assist with the breakdown and absorption of food—so your body can better utilize nutrients for energy, recovery, and immunity.

This formulation targets multiple food groups including:

      Proteins

      Carbohydrates

      Fats

      Fibre

      Simple sugars

By supporting better digestion, it may also help reduce bloating and inflammation caused by certain foods. This product is perfect for optimising your digestion and enhancing overall well-being—especially when paired with a balanced diet this pre-winter season.

Strengthen Your Gut Lining with Probiotics

Unfortunately, with the rise of ready-made and ultra-processed foods, our digestive systems are under increasing strain. These foods often contain preservatives and additives that can disrupt the gut microbiome. Add to this the effects of frequent illness and increased antibiotic use, and it's no surprise that many people can experience poor gut health and weakened immunity.

That’s why a high-quality probiotic is so important—especially when your gut needs a little extra love.

 Our Foodgrown Broad Spectrum 10 Strain Probiotic is formulated with 10 diverse strains of probiotics to::

      Support digestion

      Improve gut quality

      Help alleviate bloating and inflammation

      Reinforce immune function

This is your go-to daily essential for a stronger gut and a healthier immune system heading into winter.
