These 6 Revolutionary Probiotic Benefits Will Change Everything about Your Health

We hear about probiotics everywhere, especially when it comes to yogurt. But what are probiotics? Why do we need them? At Panacea Scientific, we’d like to teach everyone about the amazing probiotic benefits that will improve your health.

6 Probiotic Benefits

1. Probiotics Boost Your Immune System

Are you looking for the secret to surviving cold and flu season? Look no further than probiotics. Our guts are home to tens of trillions of microorganisms, called intestinal flora, and house over 1,000 species of bacteria. In fact, there are nine times more bacterial cells in your gut than the very cells that make you human!

So, what does all this have to do with your immune system? Well, 70% of your immune system is found in your intestines. If your gut isn’t healthy, your immune system suffers. Your gut is the perfect place to house most of your immune system, because nothing gets into your bloodstream without passing the good bacteria guarding your gut wall. To keep your gut healthy and protect your body from bad bacteria and viruses, you need to feed the good bacteria in your gut with probiotics.

2. Probiotics Mitigate Gastrointestinal Distress

Everyone has diarrhea every once in a while. But it usually resolves itself within a couple of days. If you have chronic diarrhea that has lasted at least two to four weeks, there may be more bad bacteria in your gut than good bacteria. Saccharomyces boulardii is highly effective at treating chronic diarrhea. Lactobacillus acidophilus is particularly effective at reducing the duration and severity of watery diarrhea caused by rotavirus gastroenteritis.  These are two of the probiotic strains that can be found in probiotics.  Panacea Scientific offers Lactobacillus acidophilus in our Evvea Probiotic and Saccharomyces boulardii in our ARISE Probiotic.

3. Probiotics Improve Gut Health

Your gut isn’t just home to your immune system. It can also be the source of a host of problems, like UTIs, IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease), autoimmune diseases like Crohn’s Disease and more. The symptoms of all these conditions, including gas and bloating, can be improved with a healthy dose of probiotics. Moreover, probiotics help you stay regular, which prevents some cases of diarrhea altogether.

4. Probiotics Lower Your Blood Pressure

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, carries many risks including ischemic strokes, hemorrhagic strokes and cardiac arrest. Taking multiple strains of probiotics daily over the course of at least eight weeks is incredibly effective at lowering blood pressure, and Evvea’s own probiotics contains no fewer than 5 billion CFUs (Culture-forming Units) per capsule.

5. Probiotics Help You Maintain a Healthy Weight

In 2014, the British Journal of Nutrition published a study following women on a diet. Those who took Lactobacillus rhamnosus for three months lost 50% more weight than their counterparts who didn’t supplement with probiotics. Another study has shown that Lactobacillus paracasei blocks your body’s natural fat storage mechanism.  Evvea Probiotic contains 1 Billion CFUs (Culture-forming Units) of Lactobacillus rhamnosus and 0.5 Billion CFUs of Lactobacillus paracasei per capsule to support your achievement of a healthy body weight.

6. Probiotics Improve Your Mental Health

Are you or a loved one suffering from chronic depression? An imbalanced gut may be the cause. If there are more bad bacteria in your gut than good, your mental health is directly affected. Both animal and human studies have discovered that certain probiotic strains drastically improve psychological conditions.

In 2016, the Journal of Neurogastroenterology and Motility published a review of several studies. Researchers discovered that certain probiotic strains could improve the symptoms of such mental health conditions as anxiety, ASD (autism spectrum disorder), depression, OCD and even memory disorders.
