There's more and more talk about the gut microbiota , and rightly so: millions of bacteria live in your gut that influence your digestion, your immune system... and even your mood!
Intestinal probiotics help maintain this balance, strengthening the intestinal flora and supporting digestive health naturally.
In this post we tell you what probiotics are for, what benefits they have and when it is advisable to incorporate them into your routine.
What are intestinal probiotics ?
Probiotics are live microorganisms —beneficial bacteria—that, when taken in adequate amounts, help to maintain or restore the balance of the intestinal flora.
Your gut is home to a community of bacteria known as the gut microbiota , and its balance is essential for digestive health, immunity, and even the production of some vitamins.
When this balance is disrupted (by stress, poor diet, antibiotics or heavy digestion), probiotics can help restore the natural harmony of the digestive system.
What are intestinal probiotics used for ?
The benefits of probiotics extend far beyond the stomach. These are the most notable:
-
They improve digestion and reduce bloating or gas.
-
They strengthen the immune system by balancing the intestinal microbiota .
-
They help restore the flora after antibiotic treatments.
-
They promote intestinal transit and reduce constipation or diarrhea.
-
They contribute to mental well-being , since the gut produces neurotransmitters such as serotonin.
The gut is like a second brain. When it's in balance, the whole body functions better : energy, mood, and immune system included.
How to take probiotics ?
-
Take the recommended dose , preferably on an empty stomach or before a light meal.
-
Never take with hot drinks.
-
Be consistent : the benefits are noticeable with regular use (starting after 2-3 weeks).
-
You can combine them with a diet rich in fiber, fruits, vegetables, and fermented foods.
Probiotics work best when combined with habits that take care of the gut: good hydration, rest, and movement.
Your well-being starts in your gut.
When your gut microbiota is balanced, your digestion improves, your defenses are strengthened, and your energy is stabilized.
Probiotics are a natural and effective way to take care of that invisible foundation of your health.
