>(Nov, 26) PROBIOTICS are living bacteria used to improve the gut flora balance and boost your health. The first-line of defence against harmful bacteria is your gut. Probiotics protect you from the onslaught of disease-causing microorganisms (pathogen), harmful fungi and viruses. As long as your immune system remains strong, the resident pathogens will be kept at bay.
Probiotics help by preventing harmful bacteria from multiplying and binding to the gut and making you ill. They produce enzyme lactase and antimicrobial substances to help in the breakdown of milk sugar (lactose) with lactase, and kill pathogens.
When you take probiotics, it produces and synthesises the B vitamins which are good for the nervous system and immune system. Probiotics also promotes recovery from infections.
Refrigeration is important for probiotics to retain their maximum potency. This is because they are sensitive to various environmental conditions such as pH, moisture, temperature, air and light. All these conditions must be properly controlled to ensure stability and the efficacy of the product. This is especially true in countries with high temperature and humidity.
Live bacteria help maintain a healthy intestinal digestive tract, stimulate the immune system to ward off infections and improve allergies.
Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM(R) is a clinically proven probiotic that helps balance gastrointestinal microflora in patients with lactose intolerance and diarrhoea. It is supported by numerous scientific findings; some of them through 30 years of research.
It is the only probiotic strain in which the genome has been completely sequenced. Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM(R) helps reduce the incidence of traveller's diarrhoea. It also helps reduce the incidence of diarrhoea caused by antibiotics and promotes speedy recovery from it.
If you are suffering from constipation, probiotics will help relieve it and improve bowel movements.
It also helps to:
- Reduce burping and excessive gas
- Relieve indigestion
- Improve absorption of nutrients
- Alleviate bad breath
With the balance of gastrointestinal microflora and an improved gut health, Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM(R) helps boost the immune system to fight against diseases and illnesses.
