As naturally existent microorganisms in the human body, probiotics help to prevent and even treat some illnesses. These microorganisms are vital in ensuring the health of our digestive tracts and immune system – the front line of our bodies’ defense against pathogens and infections.

Poor diet (less fiber, high sugar and oily foods), consumption of antibiotics or certain medications, alcohol, smoking, or constant stress are likely to cause an imbalance in the body’s normal flora. Such an imbalance results in chronic health conditions and diseases. Examples of these chronic health conditions are:

• Fatigue
• Diarrhea, constipation
• Food allergy or Food intolerance
• Dull skin or skin diseases
• Inflammatory acne

Today’s suboptimal lifestyle practices are often to blame for these health conditions. Over time, the conditions worsen, and take a toll on one’s quality of life. Along with lifestyle changes, the addition of a high quality probiotic supplement may be prescribed by a physician to:

• boost immunity
• boost the body’s ability to absorb vitamins and supplements
• restore the gut’s optimal conditions
• Improve bowel function and elimination regularity
