Probiotics
Our gut is not ‘just’ a digestive organ. Rather, it is the largest immune organ in our body. Around 100 trillion bacteria from approximately 1,000 different species nestle on the inner mucous membranes of the gut and form a complex ecosystem known as the ‘microbial flora’. This gut flora plays an enormously important role in the health of our body, but also in our psyche.
Without the tiny bacteria in our intestines, normal digestion would not be possible, for example. Other tasks performed by the intestinal flora include stimulating intestinal movement, which is responsible for transporting food pulp, and producing vitamin K, which is important for blood clotting.
These tiny bacteria are sensitive to excessive stress or an unhealthy diet. In both cases, the balance between the different types of bacteria is disrupted, which can often manifest itself in flatulence, constipation or even diarrhoea.
Probiotics – support for the intestinal flora
In addition to a healthy diet and avoiding stress, taking probiotics can also ensure healthy and strong intestinal flora. However, for this to have a positive effect, the probiotics must reach the large intestine in sufficient quantities after ingestion. Probiotics must also be able to adhere to the intestinal wall. Only then can they colonise locally and support the local intestinal flora. For this reason, various lactobacilli and bifidobacteria are often used as probiotics.
How do probiotics work?
Various studies have shown that probiotics have a positive influence on the balance of the intestinal flora. The reason: probiotics increase the number of ‘good’ germs and bacteria in the intestine, so that pathogens have less chance of colonising the intestinal flora. Incidentally, one in four people have around 40% too few healthy germs in their intestines.
If you want to use probiotics not only to support your well-being and health, but also to alleviate or prevent certain diseases, you should look for suitable products with the right composition. One example of this is the products from the ‘OMNI-BIOTIC’ series, which offer the right product for many different areas. For example, there are specific compositions for the prevention of traveller's diarrhoea, the treatment of migraines and severe headaches, and much more.
