Why Canadians Are Missing Out on Key Gut Health Benefits

Article content

TORONTO — Digestive health challenges are increasingly prevalent in Canada, with more than 57 per cent of Canadians wanting to improve their gut health but not knowing how. Beyond digestion, gut health is the cornerstone of whole-body wellness. With so much misinformation and quick-fix health trends, many Canadians remain unsure how to select supplements that truly support their gut health. That’s why Genestra Brands, a leader in professional-grade probiotics, is launching its third annual PR campaign to continue its commitment to educating both consumers and the industry on common misconceptions and gaps in awareness.

Addresses a Growing Need for Gut Health Education

Article content

The National Public Relations Campaign, In My Gut Check Era is designed to help Canadians understand that supporting the microbiome is one of the most powerful steps we can take to influence overall health. Genestra’s science-backed gut health research links the microbiome to improve immunity, mood, skin, sleep, and energy, empowering Canadians to make informed decisions about their digestive wellness.

“What we’re learning from decades of research is that the microbiome is not a passive system, it’s actually constantly interacting with our physiology,” says Dr. Jacqueline van der Made, Naturopathic Doctor. “When the microbiome is disrupted, we may see ripple effects in areas as diverse as sleep, skin health, and mental well-being. By helping Canadians connect these dots, we can shift the conversation from ‘gut health is about digestion’ to ‘gut health is central to overall wellness.’”

One important tip for maximizing the benefits of probiotics is to take them with food. On an empty stomach, the pH is highly acidic around 2.8 to 3.2 which can be harsh for probiotic organisms. Consuming probiotics alongside a meal helps neutralize stomach acid to the ideal pH of 3.8 to 4.5, creating an optimal environment for these beneficial bacteria to thrive and support digestive health.

“Probiotics are the only living type of supplement, and because they are living, they’re in a sort of limbo suspended animation because we freeze dry them,” says Dr. Plummer. “When you take a probiotic and they reach your stomach and the intestinal tracts, these freeze dried organisms come into contact with water and start to activate again.”
