Why Take Microbiotics?

Our digestive system is one of the most important systems in the body, it starts from the mouth and finishes at the colon.

Over 400 different species and more than 100 trillion total bacteria live in the human intestinal tract. Gut bacteria form a delicate and constantly changing balance as they compete with each other. We may not realise it, but our complex digestive system is made up of the following important organs:

 

> The Mouth

> The Oesophagus

> The Stomach

> The Small Intestine

> The Large Intestine

> The Pancreas

> The Liver

> The Gall Bladder

Each person has their own microbiota, just like a fingerprint, with hundreds of different bacterial strains. These strains include lactobacillae or bifidobacteria. Lactobacillae are located throughout the digestive tract and are especially abundant in the small intestine. While Bifdobacteria are especially abundant in the large intestine.

 

When the ratio of 'friendly' bacteria is lowered, health concerns may arise, including:

x Excessive gas

x Bloating

x Poor immunity

x Low energy

x Constipation

x Diarrhoea

x Candida

x Thrush

x Decreased nutrient absorption

Age, lifestyle and environmental factors such as poor eating habits, stress, disease and the use of antibiotics in food production as well as in medical treatments, bugs, alcohol consumption, high sugar intake, ageing can all alter the balance of bacteria in the gut. Consider taking a high strength and strain, good quality microbiotics to help combat issue in your gut.
