The digestive health benefits of probiotics have been studied for decades, but just recently, studies are showing that probiotics can also help boost the immune system. As a result, probiotics are the largest growing new ingredient in supplements, food, and beverages. In fact, it’s anticipated that in 2021, with so much focus now being driven to immune health, probiotics will be the largest and most widely used ingredient to help consumers live healthier lives.
According to a recent article by the Harvard Medical School, a growing body of scientific evidence suggests that you can treat and even prevent some illnesses with foods and supplements containing probiotics. Research has been promising and the potential benefits of probiotics have also been seen in the treatment or prevention of: diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, H. pylori (the cause of ulcers), vaginal infections, urinary tract infections and infection of the digestive tract.
What are probiotics and how are they good for you?
According to the National Institute of Health, probiotics are live microorganisms that are intended to have health benefits when consumed or applied to the body. Probiotics are important for maintaining gut health, which makes them important supplements for optimal health because we digest and absorb nutrients through the gut. The gut also contains bad bacteria and pathogens that can decrease gut function and cause illness and disease. Bacterial imbalances in the gut can lead to nutrient deficiencies even if we are consuming a balanced diet and supplementing with vitamins and minerals. Not only do probiotics support healthy immune function, they also help with inflammation regulation, proper brain health, and weight management.
