Our gut is our second brain, did you know?

More and more research shows that our intestines and brain communicate directly with each other via the so-called brain-gut axis. This explains why stress is often accompanied by intestinal complaints. Serotonin plays an important role in this, of which more than 90% is produced in the intestines. The intestinal flora and the barrier function of the intestinal mucosa are essential for good intestinal function and immune system. Mushrooms such as Chaga, Reishi and Poria Cocos are traditionally valued for their unique properties. Terracotta TCM has developed the supplement Amitabha, which combines these mushrooms.
