Probiotics 100 Billion CFU Potency for Healthy Digestive Immune Health 120 Caps.Probiotics are live microorganisms that when administered in adequate amounts provide a health benefit. For a microorganism to be considered probiotic, it is necessary to scientifically demonstrate that it produces beneficial health effects. Probiotics are therefore microorganisms that have beneficial effects. Most commercially available probiotics are derived from foods, especially modified dairy products. The most common bacteria associated with probiotic activity are: Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. casei, L. reuteri, L. plantarum, L. casei GG; Bifidobacterium brevis, B. longum, B. infantis, B. animalis; Streptococcus salivaris subspecies thermophilus, and some yeast strains such as Saccharomyces boulardii.
HOW PROBIOTICS ACT Several mechanisms of action have been described:
They are able to prevent the growth or attachment to the skin or intestinal mucosa of pathogenic bacteria.
They improve the function of the intestinal barrier
They regulate the immune system by increasing the production of substances such as protective cytokines and suppressing inflammatory products in the intestinal mucosa.
Modulate pain perception by induction of receptors for micro-opioid and cannabinoid substances that have analgesic functions.
Even genetically engineered bacteria are being developed to produce immunomodulatory substances that enhance the immune system. Research is also being done to restore those that are diminished in diseases such as Crohn's disease.
IN WHICH DISEASES ARE THEY USEFUL Although the available data are still limited, some probiotics could be useful in the prevention and treatment of some diseases. However, it should be remembered that no probiotic is today considered the standard of treatment for any disease or the fundamental treatment of any disease.
Some of the diseases in which they have been tested are:
Pouchitis: there are data suggesting improvement of patients with VSL#3 in primary and secondary prevention of pouchitis.
Ulcerative colitis: it could help maintain remission and be considered an alternative in patients intolerant or resistant to 5-ASA. VSL#3 may have an effect in active colitis as an adjunct to conventional treatment.
Crohn's disease: so far not proven to be effective.
Infectious diarrhea: preparations with Lactobacillus GG and S. boulardii are useful.
Constipation: they could be effective, although the available studies have included few patients, which limits the results.
Irritable colon: there is increasing evidence of a possible beneficial effect of probiotics in irritable bowel syndrome, although neither the most appropriate type of probiotic nor in which subgroup of irritable colon they would be most useful is known.
Lactose intolerance: Not proven to be beneficial.
Atopic dermatitis: there are studies that indicate a possible benefit in children with this disease.
Celiac disease: although probiotics can degrade gluten and concentrations of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium are decreased in celiac disease, there is no scientific evidence to support the routine use of probiotics in celiac disease.
Helicobacter pylori: adding probiotics to conventional Helicobacter treatment is not indicated.
