Through staple foods such as bread, Puratos aims to gradually improve the gut microbiome. Moreover, our innovative technologies can help bakers and producers maximize the benefits of natural ingredients, especially grains. This approach helps you create products that not only taste great but also contribute to better digestive health for your consumers.

What is gut health?

Gut health is all about effective digestion, nutrient absorption, strong immunity, and the absence of gastrointestinal issues. Trillions of microorganisms present in the gut are known as microbiome, and play a crucial role in both physical and mental health1.

The gut microbiome impacts mental health through the gut-brain axis and muscle function via the gut-muscle axis. It has been estimated that about 70%2 of our immunity originates from the gut.

While factors like genetics, stress, medications, and pollution can affect gut health, we have the power to influence it through informed dietary choices. Diets that favor a balanced and diverse gut microbiome contain: fibers, fermented foods, as well as scientifically proven biotics: prebiotics, probiotics, postbiotics3.

Elevate Your Products with Fermentation-Driven Gut Health Solutions

A balanced diet is crucial to good gut health. As staple foods across the globe, bread and baked goods offer an excellent opportunity for delivering gut-supporting benefits.

Thanks to our 100 years of expertise in bakery innovation, we have combined the art of bread with the science of gut health to create the Happy Gut range.

Puratos Happy Gut range is specifically designed to increase the fiber within your baked goods, help consumers reach the recommended levels of dietary fiber, and deliver great taste and texture.

Having mastered fermentation and sprouting technologies, we are also able to unlock valuable nutrients from grains, resulting in tasty, staple foods with nutrient-dense ingredients.
