THE SCIENCE BEHIND METABOLISM AND MICROBIOME

Whole-body health and wellness is tied to the microbiome, which is the body’s complex ecosystem of cells, systems and processes all aided by microorganisms that work together to keep us healthy. Addressing imbalances in the microbiome is the key to unlocking metabolic health and wellness. Pendulum’s products are catalysts for a healthy gut microbiome that can transform people’s lives from the inside out.
