Probiotics - the natural supplements that can improve your health

Looking after the health of our digestive systems is something we forget about until it gives us problems. But there is growing recognition that, just like caring for our skin, our gut will feel better following a bit of attention. One way to keep our digestive system healthy is to take natural probiotic supplements.

What are natural probiotic supplements and why take them?

Probiotics are dietary supplements containing ‘friendly’ bacteria that can benefit overall health. We usually think of bacteria as things to be avoided – but bacteria can be helpful too. These friendly probiotic bacteria are needed to keep the gut - the colon, bowels and intestines - functioning properly. Probiotics are also important to help our immune system, the body’s defence against outside invaders. The gut doesn’t just break down our food – it also makes up a major part -nearly 75% - of our immune system. By boosting the immune system, probiotic supplements can help protect the gut - and the rest of the body - from attack. Probiotic supplements also help to produce vitamins, which are vital for keeping the body working properly, as well as helping to neutralise some potentially toxic by-products of digestion.

·	Illnesses such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), thrush and eczema – may benefit from supplying the gut with friendly bacteria using probiotic supplements.

·	Research shows that supplementing with natural probiotics can reduce the chances of suffering antibiotic-related and travellers’ diarrhoea.

·	Other research has found that supplementing with natural probiotics can improve bowel habits and even reduce food allergies.

·	Evidence suggests that probiotic supplements may help prevent antibiotic-induced diarrhoea.

·	Probiotic supplements can help in preventing relapse in people with ulcerative colitis, a disease that causes inflammation and ulcers in the lining of the large intestine, causing severe diarrhoea and abdominal pain.

·	Probiotic bacteria and prebiotic oligosaccherides are known to help promote a healthy digestive system.

There is significant evidence that supplements of friendly probiotics bacteria, such as Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum, or the growth factors that encourage their development in the gastrointestinal tract may help protect the body from harmful organisms in the intestine that cause local or systemic infections.

Probiotic supplememts are important in recolonising the intestine during and after antibiotic use. Probiotic supplements replenish the beneficial bacteria, preventing up to 50% of infections occurring after antibiotic use. Probiotic bacteria also produce substances called bacteriocins, which act as natural antibiotics to kill undesirable microorganisms. Acidophilus and bifidobacteria may manufacture B vitamins, including niacin, folic acid, biotin, and vitamin B6.

How To Choose The Right Probiotic Supplement For Your Dietary Needs

Unfortunately choosing a probiotic supplement is not as simple as just picking up the first bottle you find and assuming it will do the job. Some probiotic products contain bacteria that are not even known to be normal inhabitants of the human gastrointestinal tract and the bacteria in many have not undergone any testing with regards to their ability to colonize once they reach the intestines. There are a number of factors that will determine the effectiveness of a certain bacteria as a probiotic. Some of these are:

·	Ability to survive the manufacturing process.

·	Ability to survive heat, light, moisture etc during the time from packaging to use.

·	Ability to survive stomach acid

·	Ability to attach to the intestinal wall

·	Ability to fend off other organisms, survive in the current intestinal environment and successfully colonize.

Thus, the essential probiotic good bacteria in your gut have a lot to deal with if they are to eventually colonize your intestines. It would be naive to assume that every species and strain of Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria would be equally effective as probiotics. As a result it is best to research a product before you buy. Look out for the species of bacteria contained in the probiotic supplement and do some research on that bacteria online to make sure it will be effective for your particular needs. As a rule it is best to look for probiotic supplements and other products that state the specific strains of the bacteria they contain such as L.acidophilus DDS-1 and L.rhamnosus GG, where the DDS-1 and GG respectively are the strains. You can then look for research carried out with that particular strain to assess its effectiveness.

Also of importance is the ability of a probiotic supplement’s packaging to protect the bacteria from environmental factors such as light, heat, moisture and oxygen. Dark coloured glass bottles protect well from light and heat. Some products use rubber caps under the screw top of the bottle, this offers added protection from oxygen and moisture by providing an airtight seal. Also of importance is how the product is stored in the store. If a product says it needs to be refrigerated, make sure this is the case in the store.

Following these guidelines should increase your chances of purchasing an effective probiotic supplement.

What makes a good probiotic supplement?

·	Safety - the microorganisms chosen as the components of a probiotic supplement must be non-pathogenic and non-toxic

·	Multistrain - a good quality probiotic supplement contains several species of beneficial microorganisms in order to have an improved overall spectrum of activity within the gut and in a wider range of host species.

·	Viability - a probiotic supplement can only work if the microorganisms contained within the probiotic remain viable during storage of the product and through the gut to ensure colonisation of these microorganisms

·	Minimum dose - the concentration of a probiotic supplement must be such that inclusion rates provide 10^7 - 10^8 CFU per dose (that is 10 million - 100 million beneficial bacteria per dose.

·	Quality assurance - it is essential that a probiotic supplement has not become contaminated with any other microorganism other than the particular probiotic microorganisms chosen at any stage e.g. fermentation, of the manufacturing process or during storage.
