Probiotics and your Digestive System

By Jasmine Reich-Olulu

Todays diet is changing the way our stomachs feel and act. The way we continue to eat unhealthy foods such as fast food, processed foods, and deep-fried foods puts a strain on our digestive tract. With all this unhealthy food easily at our access we need to start protecting and improving our digestive systems. Over the last couple of years doctors have seen amazing benefits from something called probiotics. I will explain a little more about probiotics in this article.

People are not too familiar with probiotics yet. The last couple of years probiotics have hit the store aisles. Probiotics are actually what is called healthy bacteria. They will support the activity of the intestinal microflora that will secrete enzymes to digest the foods we eat. They will also maintain the normal health of the intestinal lining in the small intestine which is crucial because it absorbs nutrients. Good health always starts with the digestive tract. You might want to know how to tell if the probiotic is of good quality. The best way to tell is look at how many active species it has and how many CFUs or colony forming units the formula has.

The probiotic surge is partly due to consumer knowledge on the reported benefits that probiotic supplementation can bring. This amazing healthy bacteria has been shown to reduce antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and helps maintain intestinal microflora balance and also produces anti-carcinogenic effects. A recent study done by a gentlemen with UAS labs indicates that probiotics may also lower cholesterol levels, which is great news!

There are tons of different products to choose from when it comes to probiotics. The knowledge of what is a good probiotic and what is bad is crucial when buying probiotics. I have tried dozens of products from different companies and finally found the one that works best for me. The formula has 120 billion CFUs or colony forming units, and has 12 active species. This is much more powerful than 90% of other probiotic formulas on the market. The company name is Extreme Health USA and the probiotics are made in America which is key to getting a superior product.

Now that you have a grasp on what probiotics are and what they can do for you, make sure you pick the right formula. Again make sure you are checking the CFU amount and the amount of active species. If you have gastrointestinal or GI problems like 62,000 million other Americans you should give probiotics a try. They helped me out and can help you too. - 17268
