A long-awaited malnutrition breakthrough is almost here! (Hint: by changing the microbiome) Malnutrition is the greatest health inequity in the world and one of the biggest contributors to childhood mortality, affecting about one in every four children. If you don’t get enough nutrition during the first two years of life, you don't develop properly—physically or mentally. bacteria living in your gut can be in a dysfunctional state that causes inflammation so you can’t absorb nutrients, and a now phase 3 probiotic may be the solution!
