Probiotics offer a wide range of benefits

How do probiotics work?
Researchers are trying to figure out exactly how probiotics work. Some of the ways they may keep you healthy:
- When you lose “good”bacteria in your body, for example after you take antibiotics, probiotics can help replace them.
- They can help balance your “good”and “bad”bacteria to keep your body working the way it should.
Types of probiotics
Many types of bacteria are classified as probiotics. They all have different benefits, but most come from two groups. Ask your doctor about which might best help you.
Lactobacillus. This may be the most common probiotic. It’s the one you’ll find in yogurt and other fermented foods. Different strains can help with diarrhea and may help people who can’t digest lactose, the sugar in milk.
Bifidobacterium. You can find it in some dairy products. It may help ease the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and some other conditions.
Saccharomyces boulardii is a yeast found in probiotics. It appears to help fight diarrhea and other digestive problems.
What do they do?
Among other things, probiotics help send food through your gut by affecting nerves that control gut movement. Researchers are still trying to figure out which are best for certain health problems. Some common conditions they treat are:
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
- Infectious diarrhea (caused by viruses, bacteria, or parasites)
- Diarrhea caused by antibiotics
There is also some research that shows they’re useful for problems in other parts of your body. For example, some people say they have helped with:
- Skin conditions, like eczema
- Urinary and vaginal health
- Preventing allergies and colds
- Oral health
How much should I take?
There are so many different probiotic organisms and variables to consider when making recommendations so a defined dosage has not been established. Currently the answer to the question “what dose should I take?” will depend on an individual’s purpose for taking probiotics.
Probiotic potency is expressed in CFU, or colony forming units. This is a unit of measure used in microbiology to estimate the number of bacteria in a sample capable of dividing and forming colonies. Although the vast majority of positive clinical trials indicate that probiotic doses of 10-20 billion CFU per day are sufficient for maintaining immune and digestive health, products featuring CFUs of 50-100 billion are becoming increasingly common.
While it may be tempting to assume that a larger CFU translates to greater potency and thus greater probiotic benefits, this is not necessarily the case and higher doses have not been shown to offer increased benefits.
Balance Biotics probiotic supplements contain the widely recommended 15,000,000,000 CFUs per dose for daily intake in order to provide optimal results.
