Probiotics have long been associated with good health, even before these live bacteria were formally recognised. Roman historian Pliny the Elder would prescribe fermented milk to treat gastroenteritis as early as 76BC, and certain Old Testament translations ascribe Abraham’s impressive longevity to his drinking of sour milk.
In fact, it was only in 1965 that the term ‘probiotic’ was first used, describing “substances secreted by one microorganism which stimulates the growth of another” – basically, the opposite of an antibiotic. The definition has since been refined, but the core idea is much the same: probiotics are live bacteria that promote the growth of healthy bacteria in your gut.
Amongst other things, probiotics assist with the movement of food through the gut by affecting the nerves that control your gut movement. They have also been shown to be effective in the prevention and treatment of IBS, IBD, diarrhoea, constipation, weight management, skin problems, and even mental health issues.
The benefits of having a well-balanced gut are hard to underestimate. Too many bad bacteria and not enough good in your gut flora can cause digestive issues, allergies, obesity, and even mental health problems. Imbalances can be caused by illness, poor diet, and medication such as antibiotics.
Our fast-paced modern lifestyle often sees us consuming food without the required nutrients, and with even less probiotic benefits. This causes imbalances in our gut, which further prevent our bodies from absorbing all the minerals and vitamins from the food we are eating. This means that not getting enough probiotics can actually lead to deficiencies in other crucial nutrients, and supplementing your diet with these nutrients will not have the desired effect.
Essentially, probiotics are the first step to a healthy body, as without a well-balanced gut micro flora any other healthy life choices you make will not be reaching their full potential.
Most of us struggle to maintain diets that fulfil our body’s nutritional requirements, and supplementary intake can help us avoid detrimental deficiencies in essential vitamins and minerals. But as we’ve mentioned, these won’t make much of an impact unless our bodies are able to absorb them. Taking a probiotic regularly may assist with the absorption of crucial nutrients and help our bodies operate at their best.
Our Premium Pro-B6 Suspension for Adults boasts 6 probiotic strains and 1 billion CFUs (colony forming units) for maximum positive impact. The suspension formulation sees all the probiotic goodness condensed into a tasty liquid, making this the perfect alternative to capsules and chews. Moreover, it addresses the challenges of oral delivery by ensuring that the probiotic cultures reach your small intestine in a viable state. With 2 highly-active HOWARU® cultures, this fruity suspension is designed to assist with balancing intestinal flora and strengthening the body’s natural defences.
