GUT HEALTH
Black soldier fly improves the health status of rainbow trout increasing their high gut microbial richness Alex Diana, Andrew Richardson, Innovafeed As it has been widely demonstrated in human health, the microbiota affects many vital functions. It contributes to the regulation of the immune system, digestion of food, production of vitamins, and much more. Recent research demonstrates the impact of insect ingredients on fish species' microbiome.
The stomach is often called the second brain of the human body. It represents 100 million nerve cells that form the enteric nervous system (ENS) and gut microbes may stimulate immune cells, which then signal to the brain, meaning your gut’s health can have a very realworld impact on your well-being. Indeed, by modulating
gut microbiome composition through proper nutrition and probiotics, we also help decrease anxiety and depression in humans. This is because Lactobacilli and inflammation are also recognized to affect the brain pathway and when an imbalance occurs, mood disorders develop.
