Neofenol

Description

Neofenol is a product based on plant genes to promote intestinal health. The Neofenol products consist of a number of polyphenols such as carvacrol, thymol, anethole, eugenol, and limonene. It has been proven that these active substances have antimicrobial and antioxidant effects that gut health is encouraged.

Intestinal health and immunity

The majority (70%) of the immune system is associated with the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, the composition and diversity of microflora in the gut plays an important role in the construction and maintenance of immunity.

An intestinal disorder causes a change in the composition of the microflora. This is called dysbiosis. This reduces the resistance and disease-causing bacteria can grow or the calf becomes more sensitive to infections with other pathogens. With intestinal upset, the digestion and absorption of nutrients are also negatively affected. Because of this disturbance, the intestinal tissue can be damaged, so there is more chance of infection and inflammation in the intestine.
