Probiotics: Bacteria for Good Health

By Dr Steven Lockstone
19 October 2008

There's a war going on in your body. As part of your immune system, millions of microscopic bacteria constantly defend your body against invaders of every type. However, the balance between the white hats - good bacteria, or probiotics - and the black hats - disease-causing pathogens and viruses - is surprisingly delicate.

Probiotics are micro-organisms that, when taken in adequate amounts, can provide health benefits. The positive effects of probiotics include:

• Prevention and relief of diarrhea and constipation
• Reduction of cancer-promoting gut enzymes
• Prevention of respiratory tract infections
• Relief from gastrointestinal inflammation and related diseases
• Prevention of allergies
• Alleviation of lactose intolerance
• Treatment of urogenital infections

There is conclusive clinical proof that probiotics present a wide range of wellness benefits. Doctors and researchers now understand that probiotics are powerful allies in the fight for human health.
