Gut Health Survey Highlights Need to Educate Consumers on the Gut Microbiome for Overall Health
BOSTON, Nov. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Verb Biotics LLC., a microbiome innovation company, commissioned an unbiased research study of 2,157 randomly-selected Americans to better understand the public's gut health and their perceptions of biotics.
- With gut health issues on the rise, consumer interest in biotics is increasing, yet there is a gap in understanding how the gut microbiome impacts health.
- Insights from the 2023 Consumer Gut Health Survey point to three major themes: American consumers are experiencing gut health issues, the gut microbiome is poorly understood, and consumers are seeking out education on biotics.
- "Gut health, a barometer of health and well-being, remains one of the most misunderstood facets of human health," said Peggy Steele, Verb's Chief Commercial Officer.
- 7 in 10 Americans experience symptoms relating to gut health, including stomach aches, bloating, and acid reflux.
