your gut is linked to nearly every facet of your health from your immune system to your mood & healing it is one of the most important steps we can take to ensure lifelong health & wellness.  i jumped into Arbonne's GGG after struggling with years of eczema flair ups. drinking the Green Gut Glow consistently & my eczema is completely gone.  i've also lost  7lbs of bloat & inflammation. turns out "listening to your gut" is pretty good advice after all.
