Due to popular demand, I am coming to you with an article on probiotic bacteria and of course, probiotic supplements. Many are those that use them, their popularity is high and they are very successful and despite all of that, there are still many that don't know what probiotics are all about and what benefits they give, which is why I'm making this article. There are also another few hundreds or so, similar articles out there probably but i thought I'd do it anyway.

I have not yet used a probiotic supplement but I have looked into several and I plan on ordering one. But, what are probiotic supplements for, exactly?

There are lots of rumors going around and lots of benefits but not all is true.
Probiotics are very good at one thing, improving digestion and making your intestines a cleaner, healthier place. The intestines is a place where food can be found, it goes there and it is digested, nutrients are extracted, absorbed and so on. There is one thing about the intestines that you might not know, or maybe you do. It's a place where billions and even trillions of microorganisms live, in your body. Fortunately probiotics are not harmful otherwise this article would have been very different. Probiotics help fight the pathogens, the bad microorganisms, and by doing so they reduce your risk of, for example, bacterial infections.

One of the functions of probiotic bacteria in the human body is to digest foods and process nutrients from those foods. They even produce vitamin K as well as hydrogen peroxide and lactic acid and they can help digest lactose and soluble fiber, thus reducing bloating and other side-effects for those with lactose intolerance or with trouble digesting dietary fiber from plants and vegetables. Another use for probiotics is that you can use them to compensate for the side-effects caused by antibiotics, which while eliminating the bad microorganisms causing infections in your body, also kill probiotic bacteria, so by using a probiotic you re-colonize the intestines with those CFUs in the supplement and restore a healthy balance.

For a good probiotic supplement and one that I will order soon, check out the official website of Nucific and take a look at Bio X4. I find it quite interesting because of its quality ingredients and its price and the fact that it comes with a money-back guarantee, it's always helpful, just in case. The only drawback for me is the 4 billion CFUs per serving, could have been improved over that department.
