Despite the historied tales of Probiotics, there's still much to learn. As time has gone on, we've learned many things, including the health benefits that daily probiotic usage can provide. We've also learned about the different strains of probiotics and how those affect the body and its ability to, say, fight off infections or reduce bloating. While there’s no such thing in life as a sure thing, experts seem to agree that there is definitely something special happening with probiotics and our health.
How Probiotics Can Help Our Health and Immunity
Let's take a look at how probiotics help their ultimate destination — the gut. Gastrointestinal infections can cause a major headache for those affected. An overgrowth of yeast and other "bad" bacteria in the digestive tract can lead to problems like bloating, constipation, and leaky gut syndrome.
And speaking of bloating, probiotics can be beneficial, especially if there is a microbiome imbalance or if you have certain food intolerances. Taking probiotics alongside protein has been shown to help it digest much easier.
And there’s also some evidence that shows benefits for people with more intensive digestive disorders such as IBS.
