The gut is an intelligent sensory organ; impact for phytonutrients

Published: June 21, 2017
Summary
The gastrointestinal tract is confronted with a cornucopia of diverse chemicals, pathogens and physicochemical states that it must analyze and react to appropriately to optimize nutrition and to defend against harm. It presents the largest and most vulnerable surface to the outside world. Integrated responses to these challenges require the gut to sense its environment. This i...

Interesting article on the impact of phytonutrients in the intestinal microbiota. It is true that phytogenic products are widely used today as additives in food. They contribute little to the effectiveness of the food. They are known for their antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-parasitic activity. But there is a new approach to the use of these phytogenic products. This is the enzymatic regulation. These are messages, signals sent via interleukins, for example, to modulate, stimulate the immune system, even improve the absorption of nutrients. The Biodevas laboratory has since worked on this enzymatic regulation approach to managing, for example, the multiplication and virulence of pathogens in animal and plant production.
