Probiotics are also effective in weight control!

While we are born with an extremely healthy gut flora, over time, factors such as antibiotic use, illnesses, poor diet, alcohol and tobacco use, and stress can disrupt our gut flora. This is because all these negative factors destroy the beneficial bacteria in our intestines. Damage to these bacteria can lead to constipation, diarrhea, bloating, edema, and even deadly diseases like cancer. This is because beneficial bacteria fight against disease-causing microbes and allergens that enter the body. These beneficial bacteria are probiotics.

The beneficial and harmful bacteria in our gut flora are constantly competing. Both try to attach to the intestinal wall. If the number of harmful bacteria exceeds the number of beneficial bacteria, disruptions begin in the flora. The first signs of these disruptions are digestive problems and weight gain. In other words, the reason you are gaining weight or unable to lose weight may be a disruption in your gut flora! Because a disrupted gut flora will not function normally, even with a healthy and proper diet, individuals with a disrupted flora will not experience weight loss. In this case, the first step is to correct the disrupted flora. That means increasing beneficial bacteria by supplementing with probiotics!

The benefits of probiotics are not limited to weight loss; they also strengthen the immune system, lower cholesterol, protect against diseases, prevent stomach and intestinal problems, regulate estrogen levels in women (especially during menopause), regulate the release of the happiness hormone serotonin (disruption can lead to depression/stress), ensure adequate absorption of vitamins and minerals, and reduce the risk of cancer.

So, are probiotics medicine? No! No probiotic product is medicine and cannot be used as a substitute for medicine. Probiotics are nutritional supplements recommended to be taken in addition to daily nutrition. Selling and marketing probiotics as if they were medicine is absolutely wrong. You can consult your doctor for the correct probiotic supplement.
