The Value Of 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 a term that is unfamiliar to many who know quite a bit about vitamins and minerals. This word is used to designate the many strains of beneficial bacteria that contribute to health and well-being. These intestinal flora help break down foods, help the body deal with toxins, and control the unfriendly bacteria that flourish in unhealthy systems.

You are probably familiar with yogurt, which is now sold in every grocery store across the nation. This 'cultured' milk product is made with milk and bacteria (flora) added as the 'culture'. Lactobacillus is the strain most familiar to the general public, but it is only one of many beneficial organisms used around the world to culture foods and drinks.

One result of not eating foods rich in beneficial bacteria is an over-growth of Candida, also known as intestinal yeast. The epidemic of weight gain, yeast infections, and nail fungus testify to the lack of good flora in our systems. Candida can thrive under conditions which kill good flora, which naturally controls yeast cells when conditions are suitable for their survival. Antibiotics also contribute to Candida problems.

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.

An label certifying that a food or product is organic is an assurance that the ingredients are pure and natural, without genetic modification or artificial additives. Having this assurance in a probiotic formula is a good way to be sure that the product is made under close supervision and control. Other ingredients like whole foods and specialized fiber will serve to nourish the bacteria as they try to survive and grow in the intestine, and also will contribute to the total health of the person taking the supplement.

The right formula will contain pH balancing foods. Many people live with a system that is too acidic for health and the maintenance of beneficial flora in their stomachs. The modern epidemic of acid reflux is one of the signs that the standard diets of many and the over-use of antibiotics are harming our health. A good formula will also contain enzymes, which are essential for proper digestion, and densely-nutritious foods that nourish both the bacteria and their host (you).

To get the best value and results, look for organic probiotics formulas when seeking to maintain or re-establish healthy flora in your digestive tract. It's just another way to assess products when you want to have a better quality of life for yourself and your family.
