From our saliva, skin, gut, and more.... the microbiome is essential to keep the human body functioning properly. The microbiome is a vast community of trillions of bacteria and fungi, and it has a large impact on our bodies overall health.


That being said, there are 6 ways you can easily nourish your microbiome, and we're going to walk you through them so you can naturally support your immune system.


1.) Diversity is key!

Soil based polyphenols play a huge role with your microbiome and overall health. These organisms, found in fulvic, give the protection and support the body needs. Fulvic acid is rich in various minerals and nutrients, making it easy for your body to recognize and absorb. This helps improve digestion and balance your immune system. Infused with fulvic, blk. reduces inflammation and provides optimal nutrient absorption to keep your gut thriving!

2.) FIBER, FIBER, FIBER!

Fiber gives your gut the good bacteria it needs. When our bacteria breaks down fiber they create metabolic compounds, which have beneficial effects for the entire body. Including fiber rich foods in your diet, such as vegetables, grains, and fresh fruits, can naturally nourish gut bacteria. A good source of polyphenols provides your microbiome with the support it craves.

3.) Getting quality sleep.

Hit that snooze button - getting enough sleep helps our bodies feel their best, including the microbiome. Inadequate sleep can negatively influence the diversity and number of bacteria in the gut. An optimal amount of sleep ranges from 7-9 hours, however some people may need variations of sleep. Always listen to your body.

4.) Stay hydrated!!!

When it comes to good gut bacteria it's all about balance. Drinking lots of water has shown to have a beneficial effect on the mucosal lining of the intestines.  Staying hydrated is an easy way to promote a healthy microbiome, but when you have the right kind of water it makes all the difference. Good gut health starts with good water. Keep it simple stay hydrated with blk.

5.) Eat fermented foods.
