PROBIOTICS AND PREBIOTICS

CONCEPT OF PROBIOTIC AND PREBIOTIC

Probiotics are living microorganisms that have beneficial consequences for our health
The prebiotics promote the activity and the growth of the bacteria considered beneficial for the organism (the probiotics)

Prebiotics and the human body have a very special relationship because they are not digestible by the body, so they arrive intact to the final part of the intestine, the colon

Products that combine probiotics and prebiotics in their composition are known as symbiotic and have now become the most modern and effective way to restore the balance of the intestinal flora

Prebiotics become the food of probiotics, thus favouring their reproduction and ensuring their survival. This wonderful symbiosis is the reason why it is better to take them together than separately. The ideal symbiotic food model is breast milk

PrObiotics can act as:

Immunomodulator of the intestinal microbiota of children born by cesarean section
Inducer of immunological maturation in children fed with infant formulas. They are able to modulate bacterial colonization in the same way as it occurs in the case of breastfeeding. In this way they contribute to the maturation of the immune system through the intestinal microbiota, providing a protective effect on infectious gastrointestinal diseases
Prevents diarrhea and helps the recovery of the microbiota after treatment with antibiotics, which cause changes in microbial and metabolic patterns even during the initial phases of treatment
