Probiotics are supplements that contain 'good' healthy bacteria which help keep the delicate balance of good vs. bad bacteria in the gut, bladder, vagina and respiratory system at the correct levels

Why do we need to take probiotic supplements?

Most people develop healthy levels of bacteria from birth, and these bacteria are vital in forming your first line of defence to protect from infections in the respiratory and digestive system, think of them as foot soldiers. Unfortunately, many adults and children for various reasons are given several courses of antibiotics over their lifetime. Antibiotics, although beneficial for killing off harmful bacteria are also very effective at destroying our 'good' healthy bacteria. Whilst antibiotics are very important for treating dangerous infection, their overuse for common non serious infections has meant that many people have low levels of 'good' bacteria, and this leaves them more prone to digestive problems, thrush, yeast infections, frequent colds and sinus infections and cystitis.

Therefore, taking a probiotic supplement helps rebalance the system, getting your 'foot soldiers' up to healthy levels. For more information see http://www.justbuyonline.co.uk/biokult-probiotic-capsules-o-958.html.
