Will Probiotics Solve my Digestive Problem?

By Jasmine Reich-Olulu

Americas stomachs and diets are changing. We are not helping ourselves out with the way we eat; fast food, deep-fried foods, and processed foods. With this new wave of unhealthy foods we need to start looking at ways to protect and improve our digestive systems. The last couple of years have brought about exciting information on something called probiotics. Many of you may be asking yourself, What are probiotics?

Probiotics are relatively new to the average consumer and have hit the store aisles like wild-fire. Probiotics are what is known as healthy bacteria. Probiotics support the normal activity of the intestinal microflora that secretes enzymes to digest food. Probiotics also maintain the normal health of the intestinal lining in the small intestine which supports healthy absorption of nutrients. Good digestion starts in the digestive tract and this healthy bacteria is amazing. There are different ways to tell how powerful a probiotic is. The most important is called CFUs or colony forming units. The second is how many active species are in the formula.

This surge is mostly due to peoples increased knowledge on the benefits that probiotics deliver. They have been known to reduce antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and also help maintain intestinal microflora balance and produce anti-carcinogenic effects. A recent study done by UAS labs indicates that probiotics may also lower cholesterol levels, which is amazing news.

So with all the different probiotics on the market which one do you choose? I have personally tried many products from many companies and finally found the product that is right for me. It is made in America and comes from a company called Extreme Health USA. I did some research and this company has been around for 10 years and sells its products to consumers and doctors. Their formula has 12 active species and has 120 billion colony forming units or better known as CFUs. This product has worked wonders for me and is of very high quality.

Now you have a little more knowledge on what probiotics do and how they can help you, I want to refresh your memory on the key check points about buying a probiotic. Before you buy a probiotic check the label and make sure that the formula you are looking at has a high amount of colony forming units. Then look at how many active species the formula has. If you follow these steps you will be picking a quality product and cant go wrong. - 17269
