About plankton & guts

At plnktn, we have been fascinated by the gut microbiome for many years. This is because our products (if we are to believe the reviews) contribute to the gut health of many Dutch people. That is why we are committed to providing valuable information that can potentially further improve the gut health of the Dutch population.

The e-book 'Balance from Within' offers insights into the relationship between your gut microbiome and your health. Inspired by Marjolein van Randwijk, a dietitian specializing in IBS and passionate about the microbiome, and founder of Mighty Gut dietitian practice.

Three reasons why we want to highlight gut health:

1. Preventing digestive complaints

In 2019, approximately 3.8 million people (almost a quarter of the Dutch population) received medical specialist care for stomach, intestinal, or liver disorders.

2. Creating awareness

Few people realize that the health of our intestines is an indispensable foundation for our overall health.

3. Breaking the taboo

Two million Dutch people experience daily feelings of shame, fear, or powerlessness as a result of digestive complaints. We all go to the toilet, don't we? Let's get rid of this taboo.

Let's discover together how you can strengthen your health, from within.

What is the microbiome?

Did you know that an entire jungle of microorganisms lives on and in you? Without you noticing, billions of microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, and viruses live on and in your body. They are found, among other places, on your skin, in your mouth, in the vagina, and especially in your intestines. Together, they form your microbiome. So you don't have just one microbiome, but several. The largest microbiome is located in your large intestine and is mainly inhabited by gut bacteria.
