Healthy Living Resource - Probiotics

Well, here at Sprouts, we like to call it Supplements ‌ Simplified!

Some say that eating a proper diet is all you need to get the recommended vitamins, minerals and nutrients for optimal health. The fact is that we o en miss our nutritional mark by consuming suboptimal foods that lack many key nutrients.

To help bridge the nutritional gap where eating falls short, the Sprouts team has put together this Healthy Living Resource guide, featuring one of the “Essential 4� categories everyone should incorporate into their lives.

(Of course, there can be too much of a good thing so check with your doctor before taking supplements.)

The word “probiotic” means “for life,” and “antibiotic” means “against life.” Based on this, it is easy to understand why it is suggested to take a probiotic when on antibiotics.* These friendly bacteria are essential for gut health; as stress, low-quality foods and over-the-counter-medication can destroy probiotic activity, which leads to lower immune function, yeast overgrowth and digestive disorders. While there is a wide variety of probiotic foods available, taking a probiotic supplement can be an easy and convenient way to keep your immune and digestive systems running strong!

The normal human digestive tract contains over 400 strains (types) of probiotic bacteria. Two of the most commonly used strains are: 1. Lactobacillus acidophilus is important for maintaining the integrity of intestinal walls to assist with maximum absorption of nutrients, and it supports a healthy immune system.

2.Bifidobacteria is used to help prevent and treat various gastrointestinal disorders, including infections, irritable bowel syndrome and constipation.

If you’ve finished taking antibiotics: Antibiotics wipe out both good and bad bacteria. Replenish your body with beneficial bacteria so the bad ones don’t come back.

Reoccurring sickness: Healthy bacteria helps improve the immune function and reduce infection.

Digestive disorders: Regular supplementation of probiotics may help restore the digestive tract.
