Probiotics - Mircrobial reinforcements
Under normal conditions our guts are teeming with healthy micro-organisms that serve to promote digestion, nutrient absorption, and immune system functioning. Stress, dietary changes, intestinal infections, and many pharmaceuticals, especially antibiotics, can deplete our natural reserve of healthy microbes. Probiotics are live microorganisms (also known as friendly bacteria) that helps our natural intestinal microbial defense system. Live-culture yogurts are ok but they have a lot of sugar and the sugar can be another barrier to overcome.. so this is not the best source for probiotics, you can also find it in Kefir, kimchi and sauerkraut. Because our bodies need to maintain healthy doses of good bacteria in order to keep our immune system strong it may be something to consider... the best over the counter one that I have found and use is NATREN "Healthy Trinity".
