Probiotics are live micro-organisms that contribute to the health of the body when they are of high quality and taken in sufficient quantity. Also called "good bacteria", they are naturally present in the intestines and help maintain the balance of the intestinal flora .
With more than 100,000 billion bacteria, the intestinal flora hosts more than 1000 different species, including probiotics.
Its good health depends on the balance between "good" and "bad" bacteria.
Our current consumption patterns, pollution, stress or even taking antibiotics can lead to an imbalance of the microbiota. When there are too many "bad bacteria", they are responsible for various health problems : infections, digestive (diarrhea, intolerance) and dermatological (eczema, acne, allergies) disorders, fatigue and weakening of the immune system.
Consuming probiotics is a good boost to restore the harmony and balance of the intestinal flora. Clinical results published over the past fifteen years underline the multiple beneficial effects of probiotics. They act directly on the intestinal flora by stimulating the growth and renewal of good bacteria with the result of strengthening the protection of the body .
Probiotics play a key role in many functions of our body, from digestion to immunity, for the skin or for intimate health.
Benefits for digestion and intestinal transit
When the digestive tract is poorly maintained, the proliferation of bad bacteria in the intestine can cause transit disorders : constipation, weakness, stomach aches, bloating, irregular stools or intolerances. This is referred to as “intestinal flora imbalance”.
Regular consumption of probiotics prevents the multiplication of bad bacteria in the digestive system.
Probiotics help restore the balance of the intestinal microbiota and reduce the permeability of the intestine . They are known for:
- Facilitate good digestion : Probiotics provided to the digestive system. They naturally integrate with the flora already present and reinforce it. The intestinal flora contributes to the digestion of ingested food, in particular by participating in the degradation of certain food residues (fibers, lipids, proteins) and in the assimilation of nutrients
- Regulate intestinal transit (diarrhea and constipation) : By reducing the quality of the intestinal flora, probiotics help regulate intestinal transit. Probiotics therefore avoid digestive discomfort such as prevention or constipation.
- Fight against infections : Probiotics secrete antimicrobial substances and prevent the multiplication of bad microbes in the digestive system.
- Promote weight loss : Some studies prove that modulating the microbiota could have favorable effects on weight. Taking probiotics can help you lose weight thanks to their positive action on transit, feelings of hunger, satiation, stress and the reduction of bloating and intestinal pain.
Benefits for the skin
The skin and gut microbiota work together in a direct connection called the “ gut-skin ” axis . Indeed, the skin is a reflection of what is happening inside the body, including our intestinal flora.
When this is altered or out of balance, it affects the intestinal barrier and can cause what is called a “ leaky gut ”.
A permeable gut causes toxins and microbes to pass into the bloodstream. The immune system reacts and this leads to a state of chronic inflammation in the body affecting the appearance and health of the skin: acne, eczema, psoriasis, allergies, etc.).
The consumption of probiotics gradually rebalances the microbiota affecting the health of the skin. The lactic ferments allow the wall of the intestine and bring about intestinal detoxification . They are known to strengthen the natural defenses and promote balance and skin health from the inside.
Certain strains of probiotics are also able to produce substances with anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties . They significantly reduce skin inflammation, rebalance the skin's pH, restore the skin's protective barrier and prevent the proliferation of bad bacteria responsible for conditions such as acne.
Probiotics help maintain healthy, soft and hydrated skin on a daily basis.
Intimate health benefits for women
In women, the balance and maintenance of the intimate flora is essential for her health and well-being. Called lactobacilli, or flora of Döderlein, these good bacteria allow the vaginal cavity to prevent the proliferation of bad bacteria.
Various factors, internal or external, can cause an imbalance in the vaginal microbiota : hormonal factors, tobacco, stress, unsuitable personal hygiene, wearing too tight clothes...
An imbalance can thus cause fungal infections, itching, cystitis, bacterial vaginosis and other intimate discomforts such as dryness or burning sensation.
The consumption of probiotics is very effective in fighting against vaginal and urinary tract infections . Probiotics stimulate the production of mucus and are capable of producing substances that are very active against the microbes responsible for urogenital infections. In addition, the presence of probiotics helps to eliminate infectious bacteria installed on the vaginal wall.
Probiotics also have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties .
Lactobacilli hinder the activation of the immune response and the protection of cells .
They make it possible to extinguish the inflammatory state reinforced by the infection and thus relieve intimate pains such as vaginal itching or burning sensation.
The D-LAB Probiotics range
At D-LAB, we believe that everything starts with good digestion! Our intestinal flora, also called our second brain, influences many functions in our body, including our digestive, nervous, hormonal and immune systems.
Thus, the health and beauty of our body depends on our inner well-being. To take care of it, probiotics are now unanimously recognized by scientists.
Our D-LAB experts have developed a whole range of probiotics from 100% natural, vegan, and laboratory-tested strains .
