Did You Have Your Good Bacteria Today?

October 29, 2015

The past decade has seen a surge in probiotic sales, thanks to an increased scrutiny on the powerful benefits associated with good bacteria. While there are many who cringe at the thought of consuming bacteria, probiotics are actually crucial for the functioning of your digestion, mood, and even bone health. No longer are probiotics being relegated to supporting only digestion. In fact, it turns out these beneficial microorganisms may also support the immune system. Vitamin C used to be the main dietary component attributed to immune support; however, recent reports are showing that probiotics (as well as vitamin D) offer an added benefit. The question is, does your probiotic supplement contain the strains responsible for supporting immune health?

Probiotics: The Key to Immune Health

Keeping your immune system in check ensures that your body is doing a good job in fighting viruses and other foreign invaders known to cause illness. Supplementing with vitamin C may work, but it’s not the only piece of the puzzle. In fact, research is showing that probiotics may be helpful in not only preventing but also reducing the duration of certain immune-related conditions. ^[1] For example, the two strains Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Bifidobacterium animalis may decrease the severity and duration of upper respiratory tract infections. ^[2] In addition to these strains, Bifidobacterium bifidum and Lactobacillus helveticus may also be helpful for reducing infection risk. ^[3]
