Inflammation is your body's immediate and natural response to tissue damage, whether caused by chemical, toxic, microbial or traumatic aggression. But sometimes your defense system can go into overdrive and unfairly attack healthy tissues in a chronic manner. Your gut microbiota and intestinal wall, at the heart of the immune system, are not immune to this generalized inflammation and show signs of dysfunction.

One of the avenues suggested to explain the onset, development and severity of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases is the imbalance of the intestinal microbiota. Your immune system reacts abnormally and confuses healthy intestinal cells with invaders to be fought (bacteria, viruses, harmful substances) present in the digestive tract. This leads to chronic inflammation of the intestinal wall. Hence the importance of giving your microbiota a little boost to maintain its balance by stocking up on good bacteria regularly, at least at each change of season.

When this once-watertight barrier is weakened, it can let in unwanted substances, including large food molecules and pathogens. And here we go again! It's your immune system that turns against you. This is what we call low-grade chronic inflammation. As a result, you feel tired all the time and transit problems become recurrent. As a bonus, the bacteria that make up your intestinal microbiota cannot attach themselves properly to this damaged wall. It's time to stop this vicious circle and provide glutamine, the fuel for your intestinal cells, so that they can renew themselves. Glutamine can be taken continuously if necessary and in the event of minor digestive disorders, we advise you to repeat a course at least with each change of season.
