How can probiotics benefit the body?
The human Microbiome keeps your immune system strong, aids in digestion, and promotes cognitive functions. Bacteria in our gut break down potentially toxic food compounds and synthesize a few vitamins and amino acids such as B vitamins and vitamin K. The Microbiome of a healthy person will also protect from pathogenic organisms that enter the body by drinking or eating contaminated water or food.
Sugars and easily-digestible nutrients are quickly absorbed in the upper part of the small intestine. Instead, more complex carbohydrates like starches and fibers move lower to the large intestine. Once they reach the large intestine, Probiotics will help break down these compounds with digestive enzymes. The fermentation of indigestible fibers will produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFA). Our body will absorb those as a nutrient source. Their absorption will benefit our muscle function, and brain health, and prevent the formation of chronic diseases, including certain cancers and bowel disorders. Recent studies have confirmed that SCFA may help treat ulcerative colitis, Chron’s disease, and antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
Hello, two weeks ago I have bought the « kefir de coco » because I have heard so many goods things about your product.
Well, I m an elderly woman diagnostiqué with SIBO. I want to get rid of that painful illness . My question is: Can i drink more than 4 onces at night or do I need more ?
You can indeed drink more than 4 ounces at night, but it doesn’t necessarily mean your body will absorb all the probiotics. It’s often more effective to have a smaller amount, such as a shot, or to split your intake into 2-4 servings throughout the day.
I may have take a round of antibiotics for a sinus infection I can’t seem to shake. Augmentin, is what has been prescribed to me and is notorious for causing upset stomach. How should I go about incorporating this into the week I would have to take it? Should I take this kefir with the anti biotic, or wait a couple of hours. I only ordered the 9 pack. Should I order more?
Yes, it’s true! Antibiotics can upset your gut microbiome, and taking kefir a few hours after each dose helps restore beneficial bacteria. A 2-week course of probiotics is ideal for supporting recovery and maintaining gut health.
