  • what does it do?

  • Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, can confer health benefits to the host. Here are some of the key benefits and effects of probiotics:

    1. Gut Health: Probiotics are known to help restore the natural balance of gut bacteria. This can be especially beneficial after an illness or antibiotic treatment, which can disrupt the gut microbiota1.
    2. Immune System Support: Probiotics can enhance the immune response. They help maintain the integrity of the gut barrier, prevent the invasion of pathogenic bacteria, and modulate immune system activity2.
    3. Digestive Health: Probiotics can alleviate symptoms of digestive disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), bloating, constipation, and diarrhea. They aid in the digestion of food and absorption of nutrients34.
    4. Prevention of Diarrhea: Certain strains of probiotics are effective in preventing and treating various forms of diarrhea, including antibiotic-associated diarrhea and acute infectious diarrhea45.
    5. Mental Health: Emerging research suggests a connection between gut health and mental well-being, often referred to as the "gut-brain axis." Probiotics may help alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression6.
    6. Skin Health: Probiotics may improve certain skin conditions such as eczema and acne by modulating the immune response and reducing inflammation7.
    7. Heart Health: Probiotics can help lower cholesterol levels and blood pressure, contributing to better cardiovascular health8.

    These benefits highlight the potential of probiotics to improve overall health and well-being by influencing various bodily systems.
