From fitness to food and everything in between, these 10 top brands have everything you need for a healthy New Year.
Healthy gut, healthy you
Your gut microbiome is key to your digestive system, and can even affect your mental health, so why not kick off the new year by committing to having a healthy gut microbiome.
VSL#3 is an ideal way to support your healthy gut microbiome and help maintain a healthy digestive system. Every sachet contains 450 billion good bacteria across 8 different strains, so go ahead and make VSL#3 part of your daily routine.
VSL#3 is a very highly concentrated poly-biotic, delivering high levels of live good bacteria to help maintain a healthy gut microbiome. Each of the different strains has been specifically selected and then freeze-dried, so that they will survive the harsh conditions of the stomach. This allows them to reach and colonise the gut, where they help maintain a healthy digestive system.
Be versatile with VSL#3; sprinkle it, shake it, slurp it, sip it!
