Probiotics
Probiotics aren't just essential for digestive and colon health, they also boost your health in general...
Probiotics are the beneficial microbial flora that we all need for optimal health. These "good" bacteria (and yeast) colonize our digestive and urinary tracts and the vagina in women where they grow and help to maintain the health of our mucous membranes. You can think of this in the same way as sowing your lawn with grass seed to create a thick, lush carpet of grass that can protect against the growth of weeds.
Probiotics seed your body with beneficial bacteria to help protect against the growth of pathological ("bad") microbes like E. coli and Candida. This helps no matter the location of the mucous membrane in the body: whether the vagina, bladder or GI tract. In the gut they also promote proper digestion and in some cases actually produce or functionally convert essential nutrients for our absorption and use. Many normal, bodily functions require healthy gut flora, and their effects range from healthy immune function to proper heart function and skin health.
The Types of Friendly Bacteria
In general, probiotics can be categorized by where they are used in the body. For example, there are friendly bacteria, which only grow in the small intestine and those that proliferate only in the large intestine (colon). But, believe it or not, beneficial bacteria exist in the mouth, urinary tract, stomach, vagina, and even on the surface of the skin. Certain strains colonize certain areas of the body more easily than others. More specific information can be seen below.
Lack of Healthy Gut Flora
Without healthy gut flora, a number of conditions can result including: poor assimilation of nutrients, intestinal irritation, diarrhea or constipation. Both naturopathic and medical doctors recognize the importance that the gut flora plays in overall health. Certain strains of Lactobacillus have been shown to be crucial for producing important immune factors, while others have been shown to be crucial for the reduction of bad cholesterol. Many infections are more common in those without proper body flora, including: gastroenteritis (the "stomach flu"), vaginal yeast infections, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and even skin conditions like acne.
Immune Regulation
Proper colonization of the gut by beneficial bacteria helps to regulate our entire immune system. Well over 70% of our immune cells are actually located in our gut tissue as "gut associated lymphatic tissue (GALT). These cells are constantly interacting with the bacteria in our gut, and having good bacteria present can help to train our immune system to be properly active against pathogens and tolerant to everything else. This is how probiotics can help to reduce and prevent autoimmune diseases such as: lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, irritable bowel disease, psoriasis, and eczema.
Anti-infection and Detox
Candida infections can be particularly stubborn and often require long-term use of a probiotic in addition to the use of other therapies. The same need for probiotics exists in instances of food poisoning, which not only deplete gut flora, but can also cause damage to the intestinal lining; the use of a high cell count, therapeutic probiotic is therefore appropriate if you've had food poisoning. Another common use for probiotics is for preventing parasites and diarrhea while traveling. Whether the gut flora has been lost due to diarrhea or due to an intentional cleanse, probiotic supplements can perform a "rebuilding" function, helping to replenish friendly bacteria that have been depleted.
What to Look for in a Probiotic
There are literally thousands of probiotic supplements available in health food stores today; with so many available it can be difficult to know which one is best for you or your family. A multi-strain probiotic is frequently the best way to go for most people. This type of probiotic can supply you with at least 6, 8 or even as many as 10 or 20 different strains of healthy bacteria. Your body naturally contains a wide variety of strains, so it makes sense to take a supplement with as broad a spectrum as possible. This will give you the greatest coverage to replenish or maintain the natural gut flora. The greater the diversity, the greater the strength of your body's flora.
Active Cell Count How potent is your probiotic?
Unlike vitamins, minerals, and herbs, probiotic supplements are measured by active cell count rather than milligram weight (some bacteria are "fatter" than others). A high potency probiotic would be considered in the 10 billion cell count or higher. These are excellent for use in times of depletion and stress on the gastrointestinal tract. They are also useful during times of infection, where higher probiotic counts can help to out-compete pathological "bugs". For regular maintenance, lesser counts may be sufficient, such as 2-4 billion daily.
Maintenance Supplementation
Some recent research has suggested that following an initial period of high-dose supplementation to seed the gut (perhaps 4 weeks), probiotic supplementation can be dosed in pulses and still maintain its beneficial colonization. Maintenance supplementation can involve 3 weeks of daily supplementation, followed by 4 weeks without supplementation, and beneficial levels of healthy gut bacteria will still be maintained. Unfortunately, because our diets are so far removed from natural sources of beneficial probiotics, maintenance supplementation is often necessary, particularly in individuals with compromised digestion.
