The Value Of Organic Probiotics

By Jeannie Chapman


Organic probiotics can be found in several prestigious product lines. Since many of us want to know that everything we put into our bodies is pure, the organic label is one of our best guides when deciding what products to buy. Online product descriptions are informative and reassuring when you are looking for the best ways to enhance well-being.

Probiotics is the term used to designate beneficial bacteria that naturally live in our digestive tracts. There are many strains of bacteria that carry out important functions. They are part of our immune system, since they control the growth of less friendly organisms. They help break down foods and remove toxins that come from the food we eat and the environment we live in.

Yogurt is familiar to most of us, since it is sold in every grocery store. This is a 'cultured' product made with milk and the bacteria Lactobacillus. Cultured foods and drinks, which can include fermented products, have been enjoyed for centuries, and modern research has shown that they are valuable in our diet. Unpasteurized beer, sauerkraut, and Kombucha drinks are other cultured foods.

You also may know about the widely publicized bacteria Candida (also known as yeast, which does not refer to either baker's or brewer's yeast). This bacteria readily colonizes in the human digestive tract when beneficial bacteria are not present in sufficient numbers to control it. An overgrowth of Candida causes yeast infections, toe and finger nail fungus, and oral thrush, and it can result in more serious conditions like Chronic Fatigue syndrome.

Digestive problems, oral thrush, bad breath and skin, and flatulence with foul smelling gas are all signs that the bad guys are winning the battle in your gut. Yeast cells flourish when the diet is full of refined carbohydrates and sugars. Digestion and nutrient absorption is compromised when Candida is the main bacteria in the gut, metabolism is slowed, the immune system is compromised, and energy production is inhibited.

This brings us back to the importance of replenishing good bacteria in your system in a regular and effective manner. Choosing an organic formula means that the ingredients are designed to help the bacteria grow and multiply in your system. Whole foods, certain fibers, and pH balancing ingredients give the bacteria what they need to establish themselves in your gut.

PH balance is important to the survival of beneficial bacteria in the gut. Most people who don't pay attention to their diet have acidic conditions that show up in acid reflux, slower metabolism, and bad skin. Taking probiotics when the system is too acidic means that none of the organisms will be able to colonize and replenish themselves. A quality formula will have pH balancing ingredients as well as enzymes to enhance digestion and superfoods that are high in nutrition.

Buying an organic probiotics formula is another way you can keep healthy, look and feel better, and have the energy to enjoy life. Quality of life is as important as fending off illness to being both healthy and happy. Many people who take vitamins and minerals faithfully don't realize the importance of beneficial bacteria to their well-being.
