Probiotics

The digestive tract contains a large group of bacteria in the amount ten times greater than the number of cells in the human body. The presence of these friendly bacteria attached to the intestinal epithelium significantly determines the health of a human.

Improper diet, prolonged stress, medications (especially antibiotics), laxatives can disrupt the stable composition of the intestinal flora. Its destruction causes an imbalance in the entire intestinal ecosystem, which means that pathogenic bacteria can colonize the digestive tract and disrupt the proper functioning of the body.

The intestinal flora plays an important role in the digestion of food process. Increases the bioavailability of proteins, fats and some minerals: copper, calcium, iron, zinc, manganese. It also has the ability to synthesize B vitamins (including niacin, thiamine, riboflavin, pantothenic acid). It also has the ability to break down lactase, so it can alleviate the unpleasant symptoms associated with milk sugar intolerance.

Studies also show that the intestinal flora increases the activity of immune cells and increases the production of antibodies.

The use of probiotics is recommended in the prevention of constipation and diarrhea and to normalize intestinal disorders.

A healthy intestinal flora affects the appearance of the skin , helps protect against irritation, itching, flaking and blemishes, and contributes to a better hydration of the skin. The intestinal microbiota also has a positive effect on the psyche, improves mood and physical health. It is also conducive to maintaining a healthy body weight.

Reach for supplements with probiotics always after antibiotic treatment, when you notice problems with the regularity of bowel movements, and prophylactically in the fall and winter season and early spring, when there is an increased risk of respiratory tract infections.
