Item Description

Good things really do come in small packages! The human body is a walking ecosystem: There are ten times more microbial cells living on all the surfaces of our bodies both inside and out than there are human cells. The GI tract microbiome usually maintains a symbiotic relationship with its host, bringing with it far-reaching metabolic, immunological, nutritional, and even psychological effects. While most people assume they maintain healthy gut flora, lifestyle and environmental factors can compromise this intestinal ecosystem. Such factors may include poor eating habits, chlorinated drinking water, stress, the use of antibiotics in food production and medical treatments, and a number of other factors, including health issues and simply aging, all of which can greatly reduce the number of friendly bacteria in the body. When the ratio of good bacteria to bad is out of balance, problems begin to arise such as poor absorption of nutrients and intestinal toxicity. This allows undesirable bacteria to take hold and cause problems. Probiotics are microorganisms that act as therapeutic agents and exert health-beneficial effects when administered in sufficient amounts by selectively manipulating the microbiota and restoring the disrupted equilibrium of the gut flora.
