Once the prebiotics have fertilised the ‘soil’ in the gut, the probiotics can proceed with producing a copious beneficial colony. Probiotics restore the natural balance of beneficial bacteria in the gut by overriding bad bacteria. Medical evidence highlights probiotics’ efficacy in helping to treat allergies, Candida albicans, diarrhoea, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), skin diseases, urinary tract infections (UTIs) and vaginosis. Certain strains of probiotics
have also been proven to improve brain health, by producing neuropeptides through the gut-brain axis. Probiotic-rich produce includes apple cider vinegar, kefir, miso, natto, yoghurt, select cheeses, pickled vegetables, kombucha, tempeh and fermented foods. Prebiotics and probiotics can be taken together, to increase their synergistic affect. Probiotic supplements should be taken for at least a month to replenish intestinal
flora. They are optimally absorbed when taken with a fat-containing meal or within 30 minutes of ingestion. Probiotics should be taken four hours away from antibiotics. Ensure the probiotic product has been sealed and stored properly. Check it is free from sugar, gluten, dairy, nuts, additives and preservatives. Adverse side effects are rare, but bloating and diarrhoea may occur temporarily. If symptoms persist, consult your healthcare provider.
