The gut microbiome comprises billions of bacteria of many strains and species, some are known to have specific benefits and others are considered to be potentially pathogenic if they are allowed to overgrow and affect the overall bacterial balance for an individual. Our modern lives mean that we have more sugar and alcohol in our diets, are less physically active and may be exposed to medications, including antibiotics, which directly impact the gut bacteria and may lead to bloating, IBS or other digestive issues.
Probiotics act as substitutes for the bacteria that live in our microbiome and help to support the natural balance of these billions of bacteria. They are especially useful after illness or medications, such as antibiotics, and can be used as part of an everyday routine.
Probiotic supplements contain a variety of species and strains microorganisms, the most researched types being Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium.
