Why Take Probiotics?

Within your intestinal tract are more bacteria than you could possibly imagine: trillions, in fact. In a healthy person, many species of bacteria coexist to create a symbiotic and beneficial relationship. These bacteria help you break down food in your digestive tract, regulate the function of your metabolism, produce vitamins and control the normal response of your immune system. Many people are surprised to learn that not only are bacteria involved in these important functions, but that such life-affecting systems are so heavily influenced by what goes on in their intestines.

Probiotic (or beneficial) bacteria work to promote a healthy environment in the intestinal tract by secreting fatty acids to help grow more beneficial microorganisms and by producing lactic acid.

Who Should Take Probiotics?

A number of studies have shown that probiotics can be extremely effective when used to treat diarrhea that arises from various causes. So, probiotics are suitable for anyone who suffers from diarrhea or anyone with other digestive problems. However, you don’t need digestive problems to benefit from the effects of probiotics.

Many experts believe that up to 70 percent of the body’s immune system is controlled by the bacteria within the gut. Supplementing with healthy bacteria, such as bacillus coagulans, can help ‘crowd out’ the bad bacteria that may be taking up too much space in the intestines. When the bad bacteria present in larger numbers than the good bacteria, it is believed that the functioning of the immune system suffers.

What is Bacillus Coagulans?

Bacillus coagulans is one of many lactic acid-producing bacteria, but it is one that represents a groundbreaking change in the wide world of probiotic supplements. This is because bacillus coagulans (a beneficial bacterium) remains dormant while it is stored in its bottle. After it is ingested and reaches the intestines, this bacterium reverts to its live, active and growing form. This is how it resists being killed while mixing with acids in transport through your stomach. That, in itself represents a huge breakthrough in supplementation. Almost every other type of Lactobacillus probiotic will die if it is exposed to stomach acids. This is why manufacturers have been forced to come up with creative ways, like enteric coatings, to deliver the bacteria to your intestines unharmed.
