This is done by manipulating the microflora that reside within the GIT of all living things and this is the point at which all the "biotics" come into play.
2008 March 1, Linnet Crow Peter Johnson, “The benefits of biotics”, in The Dairy Mail
Thus, there is a principal difference between biotics and synthetic compounds. Biotics possess a number of structural and functional properties that allow them to enter biological molecular structures without too much difficulty and to function with high activity in the composition of these structures and biological cycles.
2018, E A. Parfenov, Biotic Type Antioxidants, page 2
You can't buy elevated biotics packaged up in bottles at the store, and you can't even find them in fermented foods. They don't exist in any area of industry; they exist on a fresh sprout or microgreen or an organic apple you pick from a tree or on kale you pluck from your backyard plot. These elevated biotics create the strongest beneficial bacteria environment possible in the intestinal tract, and this greatly benefits the liver in ways undiscovered by medical research and science.
