The medical definition of a probiotic is live microorganisms that positively affect the health of the body when administered in adequate amounts (usually foods or dietary supplements). The term originates from the ancient greek words “pro” and “biotica” meaning “for life”.

Depletion of Probiotics can lead to

-      Diarrhea.

-      Urinary tract infections.

-      Yeast overgrowth.

-      Other infections (including parasites).

Inhabiting a normal, healthy bowel there is an estimated one hundred trillion microorganisms. The body needs “good” bacteria in order to function properly. Healthy people usually have a ratio of approximately 85% good and 15% potentially harmful organisms in the intestinal tract. In some cases, however, even those who appear to be well might have an unfavorable ratio as a result of daily exposure to environmental toxins and a modern lifestyle. In a world filled with antibiotic products, the focus has been fighting bad bacteria, often at the expense of fortifying the food. Research is proving the many benefits of probiotics and the importance of maintaining a healthy balance within our intestinal microflora.

Health benefits of probiotics include

-      Supports healthy balance in gut.

-      Improves skin tone & Reduces Acne

-      Supports a healthy intestinal lining.

-      Helps synthesize other vitamins for strong bones.

-      Deprives the “bad” bacteria

-      Relieves underlying issues causing diarrhea/ bloating..

-      Integral part of normal immune system support.

-      Relieves inflammatory bowel disease and abdominal pain.

-      Increases energy.  

-      Replenishes microflora lost with antibiotic use.

The aging process often depletes our reserves or inhibits their growth. Moreover, prolonged illness, antibiotics, synthetic laxatives and other medications actually destroy these bacterial cultures within our bowels lowering our digestive and immune system. Dietary efforts alone cannot replenish friendly bacterial cultures to the lower tract.

Probiotics supplements are completely safe because they are comprised of populations of bacteria that are already and integral part of the normal digestive tract. All probiotics from Wellness ApotheCare have special delivery systems such as enteric coated caps and prebiotics to ensure maximum absorption and effectiveness.
