What are Probiotics?
Essential to the health of the intestinal tract, friendly bacteria exist in
a delicate balance that can be easily overturned by improper diet; lifestyle factors;
antibiotic use; yeast overgrowth; digestive disorders and more. Over 400 species of friendly bacteria populate the colon,
some of which we know as acidophilus and bifidus. Supplementing with a good
quality probiotic containing these and other strains helps to establish
healthful intestinal flora and keep yeast and bacteria away.
The Importance of Probiotics
 Assists in maintaining normal intestinal flora.
Helpful for digestive disorders including IBS,
Heartburn, Gas, etc.
Replenishes intestinal flora following antibiotic therapy.
Helpful for lactose intolerance.
Enhances digestion and assists the synthesis of B vitamins.
Helps inhibit and reduce Candida (yeast overgrowth).
Prevents and treats yeast infections, thrush and athlete's foot.
Enhances nutrient absorption.
Promotes immune function.
Healthy Intestinal Functions
Some of the
most important players in intestinal health are not part of our own body.
Friendly intestinal bacteria, often called probiotics, are an essential part
of digestion. They break down food particles, manufacture vitamins and
prevent the infection of the tract with other microbes. Each bowel movement
actually contains millions of these friendly bacteria; they are in a
constant state of renewal. Many concerns like indigestion, gas,
bloating and constipation can be due to an imbalance of the
intestinal bacteria. It is easy to upset this balance by improper diet or
taking medications like antibiotics.
Many foods that we eat, other substances we consume and our lifestyles
contribute to intestinal disorders. Highly processed foods, alcohol,
medications and tobacco are difficult for our body to break down and may
also physically damage the digestive lining. Processed foods are also
deficient in nutrients so not only does the body have to work extra hard to
digest the food, but it also gets depleted of the things it needs to do its
work. Water and fibre intake is important to have proper moisture and bulk
in the stool and make bowel movements regular.
Stress, anxiety and other emotional concerns put our nervous system in an
excited state. Our digestive processes are only fully functional when our
nervous system is relaxed. Sedentary lifestyles decrease movement
throughout the digestive tract. As our transit time slows there is more
opportunity for the re-absorption of processed toxins and greater chance of
microbial overgrowth. Slow transit time also dries the stool and makes it
more difficult to pass. Our body is designed so that each time we eat a
meal we have a bowel movement. Many individuals can be considered
constipated and have bowel movements less than once daily. One can eat the
most nutritious food but if the intestinal membrane is not in good working
order the body will not be able to absorb the nutrients.
Cautions
Discontinue use and consult a health care practitioner if symptoms of digestive upset (e.g. diarrhoea) occur, worsen or persist beyond 3 days. Do not use if you are experiencing nausea, fever, vomiting, bloody diarrhoea or severe abdominal pain. Do not use if you have an immune-compromised condition (e.g. AIDS, lymphoma, patients undergoing long-term corticosteroid treatment).
