Probiotics are beneficial live bacteria and yeasts that have a positive effect on health, especially the digestive system. Their regular use can bring many benefits to the body.

Probiotics bring many benefits to the body, especially for digestion, the immune system and mental health. They can be consumed through fermented foods (yogurt, sauerkraut) or dietary supplements.

 

Improving digestion

✔ They restore intestinal microflora and help with problems such as bloating, constipation or diarrhea.

✔ They regulate acidity in the stomach and reduce reflux and heartburn.

 

Strengthening the immune system

✔ More than 70% of the immune system is located in the intestines, so a healthy microbiome means better immunity.

✔ They reduce the risk of infections and inflammation by stimulating the production of antibodies.

 

Gut Rebuilding After Antibiotics

✔ Probiotics help restore a healthy gut balance.

 

Better mental health

Skin health
