Why are probiotics important?
Human health depends on the presence of probiotics in the digestive tract and other mucous membranes. Probiotics perform various beneficial functions such as helping to manufacture B vitamins, enzymes and essential fats. They clean the intestinal tract, purify the colon and promote bowel movements. More importantly, probiotics produce antibiotics and antifungals, preventing the overgrowth of harmful bacteria and fungi. They create lactic acid, which balances intestinal pH and perform many more beneficial functions. Maintaining and promoting the growth of these beneficial bacteria while destroying the harmful strains is vital to health.
