However
probiotics really Is it so amazing?
Wow, what exactly are probiotics?
Come, come and learn about probiotics together!
What are probiotics?
Probiotics refer to active microorganisms that can improve the balance of intestinal microecology and have positive benefits to the host. Bacteria in the human gut can be divided into three categories: probiotics, harmful bacteria and neutral bacteria.
Under normal circumstances, the three are balanced, but when harmful bacteria dominate, such as intestinal infection after antibiotics are used, intestinal infection will occur. The imbalance of the tract flora will bring about health problems, and probiotics need to be supplemented at this time.
Can probiotics boost immunity?
Immunity is simply the ability to resist disease, including innate and acquired immunity.
In fact, the process of getting sick is the process of enhancing immunity, and intestinal probiotics can only strengthen the intestinal flora, and there is still a lack of evidence that it can improve immunity.
Then some parents have asked, anyway, probiotics are not harmful, can you just eat them?
Even if there are no side effects, the authority does not recommend the routine use of probiotics for healthy people, but it is still necessary to consult professional advice on which probiotics to choose, what dose to take, and how long to take.
Which situation needs to be supplemented with probiotics?
The first is diarrhea caused by antibiotics.
Antibiotics are idiots. They can’t tell whether bacteria are harmful or beneficial. As long as they are bacteria, they are eliminated. Therefore, when it eliminates the bad bacteria that make the baby sick, the probiotics in the gut will also be killed by mistake. At this time, the doctor will suggest supplementing the baby with probiotics to help the baby re-establish the micro-ecological barrier in the body. It is recommended not to use probiotics together with antibiotics, and at least 2 hours between the two to ensure that probiotics are not killed by antibiotics.
And then the diarrhea caused by the infection.
When the baby has a bad stomach, diarrhea will cause a large amount of probiotics to be lost, resulting in the imbalance of intestinal flora. At this time, it is necessary to ask foreign aid probiotics to help. If the child is diagnosed with infectious diarrhea, it can be treated with yeast boulardii or Lactobacillus rhamnosus in the early stage of illness. In addition, the claim that probiotics treat constipation is inaccurate, and there is currently insufficient evidence to confirm that probiotics are useful for constipation.
How to choose probiotics?
There are many varieties of probiotics on the market at present, and many mothers have a lot of confusion when purchasing medicines by themselves. Different probiotics have different effects. For example, in maintaining intestinal barrier function and reducing diarrhea caused by dysbacteriosis and viral infections in babies, the more common choice is Bifidobacterium.
In short, the selection of probiotics follows the “three-look” principle:
The first is to look at the strains
In line with the strains that can be used in infant food by the health department List;
The second is to see the activity
Live probiotics enter the body, so that they can play the role of probiotics;

The third is to look at the content
In order for probiotics to play a protective role in the body, it is usually necessary to contain 10 to the 6th power of 10 to 10 to the 7th power per gram of probiotics. number.
In order to ensure probiotic activity, most probiotics need to be refrigerated. In addition, it should be noted that when brewing probiotics, it is recommended that the water temperature should not exceed 40 degrees, so as not to inactivate the probiotics.
