Intestinal parasite risk is a marker of gut health that impacts both immune function and overall health. (source)
Intestinal parasites can hinder nutrient absorption and trigger immune responses, which depletes resources for working cells, hinders physiological function, and causes fatigue. This can further hinder recovery, resulting in decreased performance and potential injury. Mitigating intestinal parasite risk ensures that adequate nutrient resources can be directed to working cells, leading to efficient cognitive and physical performance.
