Inner Health Plus: Happy Gut Bacteria, Happy Brain

Did you know that 90% of your body's neurotransmitters are located in the gut? This is why if your gut is not healthy, you may experience difficulty sleeping and poor memory and concentration abilities. Not only do the foods and drinks we consume play a part in our health, but the bacteria in our gut have been proven to be directly responsible for our overall well-being. Over 90% of all serotonin which affects our moods, sleep patterns and pain perception, is produced by the fermenting of amino acids by enzymes. These complex sugars are needed to feed our friendly gut flora.
