Changes in our diet, antibiotic treatments, and gastrointestinal infections can cause imbalances in the gut flora. That's why it's important to protect your health by supporting the microbiota with probiotics like lactobacilli and bifidobacteria.
What are lactobacilli?
Lactobacillus acidophilus is a type of probiotic, in other words, beneficial bacteria that reside in the intestine, mouth, vagina, and also in certain foods.
It helps to:
- Break down food
- Absorb nutrients
- Combat organisms that can cause diseases
Sometimes, these probiotics are added to fermented foods like yogurt and can also be found in the form of dietary supplements.
They are used to treat conditions such as:
- Diarrhea caused by antibiotics
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Overgrowth of bacteria in the vagina
- Infection caused by Helicobacter pylori
- Acne
- Hay fever
- Eczema
- Etc.
What are bifidobacteria?
Bifidobacterium animalis is another type of probiotic, like in the previous case, beneficial bacteria, but in this case, it lives solely in the intestines and is responsible for producing lactic and acetic acid.
It helps to:
- Break down food
- Absorb nutrients
- Combat organisms that can cause diseases
In this case, they are used in probiotic supplements.
They are mainly used to treat:
- Baby colic
- Constipation
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Respiratory tract infections
- Dental caries
- Hay fever
- Diarrhea
What can they do for our health?
Probiotics work by competing with potentially harmful bacteria for space in the intestine, displacing them. Additionally:
- They influence the immune system and help combat inflammation.
- They improve abdominal pain, bloating, slow transit, and diarrhea.
- They protect the intestinal barrier.
