Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS PROBIOTICS?
Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for your health, especially your digestive system. We usually think of bacteria as something that causes diseases. But your body is full of bacteria, both good and bad. Probiotics are often called “good” or “helpful” bacteria because they help keep your gut healthy.
When you lose “good” bacteria in your body (like after you take antibiotics, for example), probiotics can help replace them. They can help balance your “good” and “bad” bacteria to keep your body working like it should.
WHY DO WE NEED PROBIOTICS?
When the intestinal biology is balanced or the gut is fed with beneficial microbes the thyroid is activated and this regulates all the glands around the body, including the pancreas, gall bladder, kidneys, adrenals and the liver. Most microbes have a life cycle of only 20 minutes and a species can go through 20,000 generations in a year. The dead microbes in the gut are excreted as human waste. Also, the liquid probiotic formulation will have dead microbes, however dead and living microbes are ingested all of the time with food and drinks. Health conditions associated with an imbalance of gut biology (low or inadequate levels of beneficial microbes) include gingivitis, thrush, urinary tract infections, allergies (such as and hay fever), Candida, arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, cold sores, strep throat, bronchitis, acne, athlete’s foot, psoriasis, constipation, chronic diarrhoea, Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), eczema, colic and nappy rash in infants, premature ageing, hyperactivity, gout, detoxification, hormonal balance and migraines.
These health conditions can be supported and perhaps eliminated by improving the biology of the gut through the daily intake of beneficial microbes, or probiotic. In a nutshell the beneficial microbes in a probiotic are the bridge between nutrition and wellbeing.
