What Is The Function Of Probiotics?

Probiotics are a type of active microorganisms that are beneficial to the health of the host by colonizing in the human body and changing the composition of the flora in a certain part of the host. They mainly exist in the human intestine, such as Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, etc. They live in our digestive tract, help maintain the balance of intestinal flora, help digest food, promote nutrient absorption, and also have a certain regulatory effect on the immune system. Through these effects, it helps to maintain intestinal health and promote the overall health of the human body.

What Are The Benefits Of Probiotics?

Regulate Emotions: Intestinal flora is related to mental health. Probiotics may affect mental health through the "gut-brain axis" and improve symptoms such as anxiety and depression.

Lower Cholesterol: It may absorb cholesterol in the intestine and reduce cholesterol levels in the blood, which is beneficial to cardiovascular health.

Enhance Immunity: It can stimulate immune cells in the intestine and enhance our immune system. When we face external pathogens, a strong immune system is our best defense weapon. By improving the body's resistance to pathogens, we can be healthier and more energetic in our daily lives and reduce the troubles of diseases in our lives.

Improve Intestinal Health: The intestine is the "second brain" of our body, and Probiotics are the "health housekeeper" of the intestine. They can promote intestinal peristalsis, just like massaging the intestine, helping digest food, making defecation smooth and preventing constipation. It can also reduce intestinal inflammation, protect the integrity of the intestinal mucosa, and create a comfortable and healthy environment for the intestine.

Promote nutrient absorption:Probiotics can break down the complex components in food and make it easier for the body to absorb and utilize. This not only improves the absorption rate of nutrients, but also helps maintain the body's normal physiological functions. For example, it can help us better absorb nutrients such as calcium and vitamins, thereby enhancing bone health and immunity.

Regulating intestinal flora: Inhibiting pathogenic microorganisms The balance of intestinal flora homeostasis is particularly important for the body. It can regulate the composition of intestinal flora and thus affect human health, and intervene in the occurrence and development of various diseases. When it grows and colonizes in the intestine, it can effectively inhibit the growth and reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms, thereby preventing infection and maintaining the balance of intestinal flora.

Can Probiotics Regulate Intestinal Health?

Probiotics can indeed regulate intestinal health, mainly through the following mechanisms:

Regulate the balance of intestinal flora: It can inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria and promote the reproduction of beneficial bacteria, thereby restoring and maintaining the balance of intestinal flora. This balance is essential for intestinal health, because intestinal flora imbalance is often one of the root causes of gastrointestinal discomfort.

Enhance intestinal barrier function: It can promote the growth and repair of intestinal mucosal cells, enhance intestinal barrier function, reduce the damage of harmful substances to the intestine, and reduce the risk of intestinal inflammation. It can also produce antibacterial substances such as bacteriocins and organic acids to inhibit the growth of pathogens and protect the intestinal mucosa from damage.

Improve intestinal digestion and absorption function: It can decompose proteins, carbohydrates, etc. in food, making it easier for the human body to absorb. Probiotics can also promote intestinal peristalsis and help food move forward and digest in the intestine. By promoting digestion and absorption, it can improve symptoms such as indigestion and bloating, and improve the absorption efficiency of nutrients.

Regulate intestinal immune response: It can promote the intestinal immune system and enhance the function of the intestinal mucosal barrier, thereby resisting the invasion of pathogens. It can also stimulate the body to produce immune substances such as immunoglobulins and improve the body's overall immunity. By improving immunity, it can prevent the occurrence of diseases such as intestinal infections and maintain intestinal health.

In summary, Probiotics regulate intestinal health through various mechanisms, including improving the balance of intestinal flora, enhancing intestinal barrier function, promoting digestion and absorption, and regulating immune response. However, the effect varies from person to person. It is recommended to choose the right product according to personal situation and use it under the guidance of a doctor or nutritionist.

Who Is Suitable For Probiotics Supplementation?

Probiotics are present in everyone's body, but due to aging, environmental pollution, medication and lifestyle, the probiotics in the body are destroyed in large quantities, and the dynamic balance we mentioned at the beginning cannot be achieved. The number of probiotics is decreasing, resulting in more and more pathogenic bacteria invading.

People with indigestion and patients with enteritis.

For middle-aged and elderly people whose intestinal function gradually weakens, the number of probiotics such as bifidobacteria in the intestine decreases due to age. Proper supplementation of probiotics is a beneficial health care measure.

People with congenital lactase deficiency will experience abdominal distension and diarrhea when the sugar enzyme is lacking or lactose cannot be decomposed. Proper supplementation of probiotics has a good effect.

Artificially fed infants with low immunity, who are prone to colds and intestinal diseases, premature infants, low-weight infants, cesarean section infants, etc., need to supplement probiotics to promote intestinal absorption and increase immunity. For people with constipation and diarrhea, probiotics can promote intestinal peristalsis and enhance the balance of intestinal flora, thereby effectively treating constipation and diarrhea.

Patients with cirrhosis and peritonitis. These people can benefit from taking probiotics to promote the digestion and absorption of nutrients, improve the body's immunity, maintain the balance of intestinal flora structure, improve the body's antioxidant level, protect the intestinal mucosal barrier, etc.

Although probiotics are beneficial to certain groups of people, they are not suitable for everyone. Before supplementing, it is recommended to consult a doctor or nutritionist to ensure its safety and effectiveness.
