Probiotics
What are probiotics?
Probiotics are live micro-organisms
They are often referred to as “friendly bacteria” or “good bacteria”
because they support gut health
Did you know that the most important part of your immune system is
in your gut?!
70% of all antibody-producing cells are located in the gut - working
hard to prevent unwanted bacteria from proliferating
When should I use probiotics?
Probiotics may be useful when the balance of “good” and “bad” bacteria in
the bowel has been disrupted
Such an imbalance most often occurs in the following situations...
Following illnessAs a result of stressAfter travel to a foreign countryAs we get older
After use of medication (eg antibiotics)
An imbalance of bowel flora can lead to
unpleasant symptoms, such as IBS, bloating,
constipation and diarrhoea
Why are probiotics good for us?
Probiotics are thought to have a positive impact on gut health,
digestion and the immune system if we have an imbalance
Which probiotic is best?
Ideally they should be dairy and sugar free
Ideally it should be multi-strain
A probiotic with 8 bacterial strains will provide full spectrum support of the intestines
It should be high-strength
A probiotic with a high number of live organisms per capsule
will provide maximum support
Will probiotic yoghurts do?
They’re not ideal - as they contain dairy and sugar and tend to have only 1 or 2
strains of good bacteria
