 Help your digestion with Molkosan Vitality |
Prebiotic & Probiotics - What is the difference? The gut is an amazing place. It has an internal surface area of more than 300 square metres – about the size of a tennis court! This surface is lined by a ‘mesh’ formed by approximately 150 types of bacteria, weighing 1kg. In good health, these organisms live in balance and harmony with each other, and our bodies. When this balance is disturbed, organisms such as Candida albicans can use the opportunity to flourish. This imbalance can result in tiredness and digestive discomfort such as bloating and trapped wind and in some cases to fungal infections. PROBIOTICS have been available for a long time, reflecting the general awareness that friendly bacteria can be good for digestive health. The reasoning is that a supply of good bacteria will help to restore and maintain the balance in the gut flora. However, more recent thinking suggests that whilst probiotics are useful, there is a need to act at a more fundamental level. There may be little point in replenishing the good bacteria if the correct gut environment is not in place to help them survive and flourish. PREBIOTICS such as Molkosan Vitality are substances which improve the internal environment of the gut. In doing so they help to feed and support friendly bacteria, allowing the good bacteria we have to thrive and providing the conditions to make probiotics work better. 1200 |
