The Benefits Of Using Organic Probiotics

By Marcie Goodman


The world is full of bacteria and so is the human body. Good bacteria are vital to the health of the body. Organic probiotics do not contain any preservative, sugar or fillers. They contain these good bacteria in a dosage that enables them to survive and grow inside the gastrointestinal tract.

One tends to think that all bacteria are bad but this is far from true. The human gut is home to millions of bacteria that are vital to health. There are many factors like diet, aging, medication and illness that can destroy the balance. This can cause all sorts of health problems for the individual.

The digestive tract is lined with sites to which bacteria adhere. The idea behind using supplements is that beneficial bacteria are introduced which adhere to these sites. When the good bacteria dominate, they present a barrier against harmful bacteria.

It is not just a matter of swallowing random bacteria. Firstly, the right strain has to be used. Secondly, it has to be encased in something strong enough to survive the acid-filled stomach, but strong enough to prevent the friendly bacteria from growing in the intestines. It is also hard to assess how many viable bacteria one is getting in each dose.

The best advice when choosing products is to buy from well-known companies. Reliable products should have been tested in research studies and should name the ingredients they contain, as well as how many organisms are provided in a single dose. A general purpose variety is available for maintenance of health and boosting the immune system but others are designed for specific purposes.

Research has proved that healthy bacteria are particularly useful against diarrhea associated with the use of antibiotics. However, current research is revealing that they are capable of much more than just helping with digestive problems. One of their primary functions is to stimulate the immune system.

There are many currently studies being done regarding the effect of taking these supplements on areas other than digestive health. The idea is that unfriendly bacteria could be prevented from taking hold in the first place or suppressed if already there. Childhood allergies, urinary tract infections, upper respiratory infections and lactose intolerance are just some of the areas that may benefit.

These products can be found at many different health stores and are also available from a multitude of online stores. This is why it is so important to select a reputable company. Reliable products should state the name of the precise probiotics they contain, as well as how many organisms a single dose provides.

Many health problems today, including allergies and fatigue, are beginning to be associated with an imbalance of bacteria in the body. Organic probiotics provide the most safe, natural and common sense way to keep the correct balance. Some patience needs to be exercised when using these supplements as they do not create overnight miracle cures. They need to be used for some time before the correct balance in the gut is restored.
