Good health begins from the gut. When we are healthy inside, it shows on the outside.

Good gut flora promotes normal gastrointestinal function, provides protection from infection, regulates metabolism and comprises more than 70% of our immune system.

The human gut or digestive system is home to approximately 100,000,000,000,000 (100 trillion) microorganisms, and contains 10 times more bacteria than all the human cells in the entire body, with over 400 known diverse bacterial species.

Many diseases and even stress, seemingly unrelated to our digestive system are actually caused by gut problems. Understanding how the gut works and how to look after it is essential to our health.

That being said, cultured milk drink VITAGEN has been named as the sponsor of Akademi Fantasia (AF) 2016. The company will be directly involved in promoting better gut health through fitness and better nutrition, through a healthy living and fitness segment every Tuesday with Coach Cem, a well-known fitness consultant.

VITAGEN_AF2016According to VITAGEN’s Deputy General Manager, Michael Ong, the brand is delighted to be working with Akademi Fantasia.
