Say Yes to Probiotics…Did you know the root of the word probiotic comes from the Greek word pro, meaning "promoting," and biotic, meaning "life"? Probiotics (friendly bacteria) are associated with healthy digestion. Probiotics aid digestion by helping to complete the digestive process. Since over 70% of immune cells reside in our gut, without probiotics the immune system can't work properly. They help to relieve the symptoms of IBS, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and can prevent and treat candida and other fungal infections They are recommended for eczema and other skin disorders and fight infection. As a general guide, choose a multi-strain formula with at least 30 billion bacteria. After the age of 50, the levels of probiotics in our gut begin to decline, so a 50 billion probiotic is an important daily amount. Watch for the culture counts (total number of bacteria per serving) and look for "enteric coated." This helps the bacteria bypass the stomach and get further into the gut where it is most beneficial. Lastly, watch the expiration date. You want a product that says "viable through end of shelf life," which ensures the living microbes are in fact still living. Pass on the brand if it says "viable at time of manufacture. 5069 Baldwin St, 905-425-5550
