Understanding Probiotics and Related Terms
- Probiotics: Live beneficial bacteria (e.g., Lactobacillus, Bifidobacteria) that improve gut health and immunity.
- Prebiotics: Food for probiotics, such as fiber and oligosaccharides, that help increase and maintain beneficial bacteria.
- Postbiotics: Metabolites produced by probiotics that provide health benefits (an analogy: honey produced by bees).
Importance of the Microbiome
- The microbiome consists of all microorganisms and their genes living in the human body.
- It plays a crucial role in:
- Immunity
- Metabolism
- Brain function (gut-brain axis)
- Mood regulation
- Disease prevention
- High diversity in gut microbes correlates with better health.
- Gut microbes produce important neurotransmitters:
- Serotonin (90% made in intestines)
- Dopamine
- GABA These affect mental health and neurological diseases.
- Imbalanced gut microbes are linked to:
- Autoimmune diseases
- Skin conditions (eczema, acne)
- Depression
- Autism
- Parkinson’s disease, and more
Holistic Health Approach
- The body functions as an interconnected physiological network.
- Gut health affects immunity, blood sugar, blood pressure, skin, and other systems.
- Managing microbiome diversity is considered the “gateway to health.”
Probiotic Intake Recommendations
- Probiotics should be taken continuously for life to maintain gut health.
- Probiotics are temporary residents (“travelers”) and need regular replenishment.
- Factors that harm gut microbes include:
- Excessive alcohol consumption
- Instant foods
- Sugary drinks
- Taking probiotics before and after alcohol consumption can help mitigate damage.
Choosing the Right Probiotics
- Probiotics must survive stomach acid and bile to reach the intestines effectively.
- The strain of probiotics is critical; different strains have different health effects.
- When selecting products, look for:
- Verified strains
- Guaranteed bacterial counts
- Proper packaging to protect live bacteria
- Different probiotics may be taken at different times of day for better absorption due to strain differences.
