It’s our digestive system’s mission to disassemble food into its tiniest, most basic molecular forms through a series of involuntary progressions that we don’t consciously think about. Everything we eat and drink is ultimately transformed into smaller particles (nutrients) that are absorbed into the blood stream where they’re used for energy, growth, and cell repair.

This primer connects the dots between the critical roles at play in our everyday health and the equally critical role we play in maintaining this innocuous ecosystem.
