What do they do?
Probiotics create a balance between the good and bad bacteria in your gut and they replace the good bacteria that has been lost.
There are many ways we lose the good bacteria in our gut. One of the ways is antibiotics. Antibiotics kill many of the good bacteria in your gut and shifts the gut balance allowing harmful bacteria to thrive. This can take many years to rectify if we don’t add a good probiotic to our diet.
Some more reasons our gut bacteria changes are issues like stress, diet, junk food and alcohol to name but a few. This is the reason a good probiotic taken daily is more important than a multi vitamin.
When the gut becomes unbalanced with unhealthy levels of bacteria, probiotics help restore the balance.
Probiotics also support the immune system and provide an additional tool to help the body protect itself from getting sick.
