The name probiotics

I believe everyone is familiar with it

In recent years

products that claim to be rich in probiotics

More and more

Adding probiotics can

Promote digestion, enhance immunity, beauty care

But is this really the case?

Let’s talk today

How to understand probiotics scientifically

01. What are probiotics?

When it comes to bacteria, the first thing that many people think of is the impact on health. In fact, not all bacteria are harmful. Some bacteria are not only harmless, but beneficial to health. They are called probiotics in the scientific community. They can play a beneficial role in human health by improving the balance of intestinal flora.

The gut is the largest micro-ecosystem and immune organ in the human body. The total number of microorganisms in the gut accounts for about 80% of the total number of human microorganisms. Each performs its own duties, restricts and complements each other, maintains the unique micro-ecological balance of the gut, and is an important part of human health.

as defined by the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations : Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when ingested in sufficient quantities, are beneficial to the health of the host. Probiotics are not just one or a few species, they are a general term for a class of bacteria that are good for human health. At present, dozens of probiotics have been found, including Bifidobacterium lactis, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium infantis, Lactobacillus casei, etc.

02. The relationship between probiotics and gastrointestinal health

Stomach is the second brain of the human body. Human health is closely related. The human gastrointestinal tract is inhabited by a large number and variety of microorganisms, which are collectively referred to as intestinal flora.

The human gastrointestinal tract is colonized and exerted by probiotics The main place of action, probiotics carry out metabolic activities in the intestinal microenvironment, affecting many physiological activities such as the metabolism of food and drug components, cell renewal, and immune response in the human body.

03. The mechanism of probiotics to promote gastrointestinal health

Probiotics and intestinal barrier effect< /span>

The gut barrier and gastrointestinal microbes are two major factors that ensure gut health. Probiotics can regulate the function of intestinal epithelial cells.

Probiotics can modulate host immune function

In addition to enhancing the physical barrier function, commensal bacteria and supplemented special probiotics can increase the secretion of intestinal mucus and promote immune barrier function. In addition, probiotics can also achieve immune regulation by modulating the production of pro- or anti-inflammatory cytokines by immune cells.

Probiotics produce bacteriostatic substances

Most probiotics, especially lactic acid bacteria, are acid-resistant, adapt to the intestinal ecological environment, and are easy to multiply in the intestines of humans and animals. In the intestinal tracts of healthy humans and animals, the types, numbers and settlement sites of various bacteria are relatively stable. They coordinate and restrict each other to form a micro-ecosystem.

Probiotics can inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria and promote the growth of Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Streptococcus faecalis.

Probiotics inhibit the invasion and colonization of intestinal pathogens

Probiotics compete with pathogenic bacteria for binding sites on the surface of the intestinal mucosa, and then colonize the intestinal tract, which may be one of the inhibitions for probiotics to exert their functions. The adhesion of H. pylori can also be inhibited by probiotics.

At present, probiotic products are emerging in an endless stream on the market, but because the concept of the nominal strain is too professional, consumers cannot understand and distinguish at all.

This probiotic from Innocent is rich in 1.6 trillion viable bacteria + 20 strains.

The number of active lactic acid bacteria added to each box is ≥1,600 billion CFU, and the entire production line is precisely controlled by computer to ensure that 2g/bag contains at least 80 billion CFU.

Each strain is numbered and recognized by the World Health Organization, and two more are patented.

The strains with numbers are only effective, and each performs its own function to solve intestinal problems one by one.

Lactobacillus plantarum LP45: Super strong resistance to gastric juice and intestinal juice, more than 90% viable bacteria can still survive gastroenteritis corrosion Intestinal colonization.

Lactobacillus plantarum CN2018: can effectively inhibit Helicobacter pylori Bifidobacterium, relieve gastritis.

Bifidobacterium bifidum TMC3115: effective Adheres to the intestinal mucosa, forms a biological barrier, and better protects the intestinal tract.
