The past few years was a jumpstart and focus of health and well- being as an individual. It’s a realization that hit us all hard. During the Bifina Launch last July 25, 2022, It was a highlight of how Gut Health plays a crucial role in each individual’s overall wellness.
The launching was a day full of GUT-sy games and gastronomic Japanese food from Hotel Okura. The guests were transported to a Japanese themed event to highlight the Japanese origin of the premium probiotics and how it easily became the number one probiotics in Japan for 25 years.
Why is Gut Health important?
Gut Health is important because it aids in the digestion and absorption of nutrients in the body. If a person’s gut is imbalanced, it may have trouble with absorption of nutrients in the body and regulating blood sugar. Certain conditions might stem from the imbalances such as acid refluxes, heartburn, bloating, skin rashes/allergies etc.
VPharma VP for operations Vincent Dy discovered the Japanese homegrown product due to his grandmother was constipated for a long time. He was able to source it and let his grandmother try Bifina, which eventually helped her tremendously.
Dy said the keyword for probiotics is “survival rate” — “the probiotics won’t work if it’s dead, so we need the probiotics alive to reach the gut for it to work and flourish inside the intestines.”
He expressed his pride that Bifina is the only brand in the Philippines that can deliver live probiotic strains to the intestines with a 90 percent survival rate. This is due to the patented microencapsulation technology made by Morishita Jintan Co. Ltd that coats the prebiotic and probiotic strains from saliva, esophageal acid, and other gastric acids. This was also a factor why Bifina has been the number 1 probiotics supplement in Japan for 25 years.
