At Green Earth Naturals, we sell powerful, healthful supplements which contain probiotics, including probiotic acidophilus and plant-based enzymes. Much of the blue-green algae supplements we sell are cutting edge, and many people may not yet know about the benefits of probiotics as a part of a healthy, daily diet. This blog will take some time to look at what, exactly, probiotics are.
In a nutshell, probiotics are microorganisms that likely are beneficial to the host organism. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and bifidobacteria are of the most commonly used type of microbes as probiotics; but certain yeasts and bacilli may also be used. Probiotic acidophilus is also a prominent type used in Green Earth Naturals products. Probiotics are typically consumed in the form of Keifer, yogurts with added live cultures, and other fermented foods or drinks.
The term itself is easy to understand, as it comes from roots “pro” and “bio,” or “for life.” Probiotics are life-supporters and help build immunity in the host organism’s system. Probiotics are believed to be helpful in the host by improving its intestinal microbial balance. Good gut health and balance means that pathogens and toxin producing bacteria will be inhibited in the body. The health effects of probiotics are not completely documented and experimented with, so currently further investigations are being made to provide documented support for the microbes. They are thought to potentially play a role in the alleviation of chronic intestinal inflammatory diseases, prevention and treatment of pathogen-induced diarrhea, genital infections, and atopic diseases.
So far as is known, probiotics do not cause harmful side effects, or really, any side effects in general beyond their intended effects. With that in mind, it may be beneficial to people who are curious to give them a try. Green Earth Naturals acidophilus strain can be a great way to break into the probiotic world.
