Now You Can Get Organic Probiotics

By Jeannie Chapman


There are several formulas made by reputable companies that offer organic probiotics. Supplement companies that hope to reassure consumers of their quality ingredients and expert formulation of health aids know that the organic seal tells customers that they will get pure and highest quality products.

Probiotics is the term used to designate beneficial bacteria that naturally live in our digestive tracts. There are many strains of bacteria that carry out important functions. They are part of our immune system, since they control the growth of less friendly organisms. They help break down foods and remove toxins that come from the food we eat and the environment we live in.

Yogurt is familiar to most of us, since it is sold in every grocery store. This is a 'cultured' product made with milk and the bacteria Lactobacillus. Cultured foods and drinks, which can include fermented products, have been enjoyed for centuries, and modern research has shown that they are valuable in our diet. Unpasteurized beer, sauerkraut, and Kombucha drinks are other cultured foods.

An example of unfriendly bacteria that can grow in our intestines is Candida, often known as yeast. This is not the same strain as the yeast used for baking and brewing. This bacteria can grow rapidly in the gut when there is not enough beneficial flora to control it. Symptoms of Candida overgrowth are yeast infections, oral thrush, and nail fungus. It can contribute to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and many other serious conditions.

Out of control Candida also contributes to digestive discomfort and foul-smelling gas. The yeast cells live on sugars but do not help the system digest other foods properly, making the whole digestive process inefficient. Taking probiotics is one good way to improve your digestion, enhance proper nutrition, get weight control, and optimize energy production.

This brings us back to the importance of replenishing good bacteria in your system in a regular and effective manner. Choosing an organic formula means that the ingredients are designed to help the bacteria grow and multiply in your system. Whole foods, certain fibers, and pH balancing ingredients give the bacteria what they need to establish themselves in your gut.

PH balance is important to the survival of beneficial bacteria in the gut. Most people who don't pay attention to their diet have acidic conditions that show up in acid reflux, slower metabolism, and bad skin. Taking probiotics when the system is too acidic means that none of the organisms will be able to colonize and replenish themselves. A quality formula will have pH balancing ingredients as well as enzymes to enhance digestion and superfoods that are high in nutrition.

Choosing organic probiotics in a carefully designed formula may be the key to increased health and well-being. Don't ignore your body's need for beneficial bacteria, or your nutritional efforts in other areas may go to waste. The quality of your life depends on total health through comprehensive nutrition.
