The Intestinal Flora
In the surface of gastrointestinal epithelium is the intestinal flora, which constitutes a barrier and regulates our relationship with the nutrients we ingest and this is the starting point for determining a good health condition.

Intestinal microflora plays several functions that are essential for the proper functioning of the organism:
Role on the nutrition and metabolism, as result of biochemical activity and flora.
Protection functions, preventing the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms (barrier effect).
Trophic functions on the proliferation and differentiation of intestinal epithelium and the development and modulation of the immune system.
