How It Works
The diversity of gut microflora not only affects gastrointestinal health, but also the immune function; our resistance to pathogenic infection; and the adverse effects of stress on digestive health.
When antibiotics, stress, and dietary and lifestyle factors adversely affect the populations of good bacteria in our gut we are placed at increased risk of infectious and noninfectious diseases, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, and Clostridium difficile. These pathogens can cause increased inflammation and tissue damage throughout the body, gastrointestinal symptoms such as severe diarrhea, and other systemic effects such as yeast overgrowth and compromised immune function.
Bifidobacteria are the most prevalent friendly bacteria in the large intestine, while Lactobacilli are the main beneficial strain in the small intestine. They work together to maintain an effective intestinal barrier against pathogens; to reduce the production of pro-inflammatory substances; and to stimulate phagocytes, dendritic cells, and other immune system cells to destroy foreign organisms. These probiotics help maintain conditions in the gut that are unfavourable for pathogenic infection.
Many health care practitioners now recommend regular consumption of probiotics to maintain healthy gut microflora, as well as the use of probiotics when taking antibiotics, to restore gastrointestinal health and enhance immune function.
