Helpful or beneficial bacteria are called probiotics. Probiotics
or friendly bacteria are able to alter the intestinal
microflora balance favorably. They also inhibit the growth of
harmful bacteria as well as promote good digestion and boost immune
function and thus increase resistance to inflammation
and infection.
People with flourishing intestinal colonies
of beneficial bacteria are better equipped to fight the
growth of disease-causing bacteria. Helpful bacteria only
provide a protective effect when a proper balance is
maintained among all the different bacteria and fungi that normally
reside in your intestine.
If your normal bacteria become depleted or the balance
of bacteria is disturbed, potentially harmful bacteria can overgrow, outnumber helpful bacteria and
become established, causing digestive and other health
problems. These harmful bacteria are known as pathogenic
bacteria and they have the ability to cause gastro-intestinal
problems such as diarrhea or abdominal pain if not kept
in check by the beneficial bacteria.
Probiotic bacteria also produce substances called
bacteriocins, which act as natural antibiotics to kill
undesirable microorganisms e.g. fungus and yeast, viruses,
parasites and bacteria.
We stock a wide range of top of the line probiotics. Each probiotic formula has benefits:

When we ingest helpful bacteria or probiotics these bacterial cultures support a good and healthy intestinal bacterial flora. The probiotics give you a way to maintain balanced intestinal bacterial flora.
This is a basis to good health.
Some people may experience excessive amounts of gas when they first start using probiotics. This may vary with each individual and may only last for a few days. It is threfore advisable to start with a low dosage and increase the dosage slowly.
The intestinal tract houses an enormous number of microorganisms. The total is thought to be more than 10 times of all the number of cells in the body. That is why the quality and functionality of these indigenous flora or helpful probiotic bacteria is so important.
The maintainance of good health is dependent on the symbiosis between our individual bodies and these microorganisms. This state of balance will determine how you function and feel. In fact, all body tissues are influenced by this internal ecology.
Research supports the fact that many imbalances and illnesses are related to a disturbed balance of the intestinal flora. This is known as intestinal dysbiosis.
There are many factors that contribute intestinal dysbiosis. The very first consideration is poorly balanced nutrition i.e. high protein diet.
Stress factors, environmental pollution and a variety of medical drugs are all factors that will promote intestinal dysbiosis.
Many western digestive diseases can be related to intestinal dysbiosis. It may manifest acutely or as a chronic illness.
Genova Lab diagnostic tests are invaluable in identifying intestinal dysbiosis and the causative organisms associated with it.
