Prebiotics are “Fertilizer” to feed the Probiotics and promoting good bacteria. Probiotics are the good, live bacteria that help maintain the natural balance of organisms (microflora) in the intestines needed for digestive health, immune system support, hormone balance and overall wellness. Manipulation of the bacteria within the colon with probiotics has proven effective in gut homeostasis. Some bacteriocins produced by probiotic bacteria have been shown to reduce the number of pathogenic bacteria, while altering pH and creating a protection within the colon. Gut flora has a function in the development and homeostasis of the immune system, as well as protection against pathogens. The gut microbiome: 95% of your body’s microbes live in your gut and 70% of your immune cells originate in the gut.
An assortment of characters’ lives in our gut, in a delicate balance with each other. With an appropriate balance, bacteria and other microbes play an important and useful role in digestion and contribute to overall health. The beneficial ones, the good guys, are termed probiotics (meaning pro-life!) because they are friendly to life by promoting our health and well-being. Probiotics improve the environment of the intestinal tract, and are important in healing many chronic gastrointestinal problems.
