Are all probiotics equal?
Probiotics under the scientific radar
Currently probiotics are making headlines. Research is increasingly showing how essential they are to our overall health. The word global should be taken seriously. No one would have thought in the past that an imbalance in the friendly bacteria that inhabit our intestines could be linked to depression. Surprisingly, the scientific community has been able to shed light on the importance of the nervous system and intestine axis. We can expect more surprises of this nature. The microbiota is now recognized as an organ in its own right. A good number of research studies focus on the importance of probiotics in maintaining good health.
Friendly bacteria for the whole body
So providing good bacteria is a really good idea. Digestion, intestinal transit, mood and immunity will be particularly improved. In addition, many intestinal pathologies such as irritable bowel syndrome and Crohn's disease could express less severe symptoms thanks to taking probiotics.
Prebiotics for probiotics
Among the probiotics marketed, some of them stand out from the crowd. These are those described as “symbiotic”. They are composed not only of good bacteria (probiotics or friends), but also of elements called “prebiotics”. These serve as food to feed our own bacteria and keep them healthy.
But why also want a prebiotic? Each person has a bacterial flora that is specific to them with a different number of bacterial species and individuals. No commercial probiotic product will be able to provide exactly all its species of bacteria in their natural proportions. These probiotics will of course have a positive effect despite everything. On the other hand, prebiotic compounds will encourage the development of our bacterial flora, in its own balance! So, probiotic plus prebiotic is an addition that guarantees greater strengthening of our intestinal bacteria.
An ideal symbiotic
The Dr Ohhira probiotic is one of the synbiotics found on the market. It is made up of 12 strains of bacteria which have fermented together for 3 to 5 years and which will thus have produced an interesting quantity of prebiotics. In addition, these 12 strains of bacteria having to coexist together for such a long time ensure great stability within the product and a great synergy of action of these bacteria.
Always on hand
A quality of probiotics often sought by customers is storage at room temperature. This is the case with Dr Ohhira probiotics. No refrigeration needed! Slip them into your handbag, your sports bag, your toiletries, your travel bag... No reason to do without them!
