Probiotic Supplements

Probiotics are live microorganisms, usually bacteria, that have health benefits when eaten as part of a varied diet.

The best probiotic foods are live yoghurt, kefir, sauerkraut, pickles, miso, kimchi, tempeh and some cheeses.

AS well as boosting gut health, there is also increasing evidence that probiotics can boost the immune system.

Probiotics boost the immune system:

1. Some have been shown to promote the production of an antibody called IgA in the body. These plays a crucial role in the immune function of mucous membranes found in the eyes, mouth, nose and gut.
2. They could reduce the likelihood and duration of respiratory infections.
3. Some have been shown to significantly reduce the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women. 

If you want to experience these benefits to your immune system, it’s important that you consume adequate amounts.

Most of the studies showing benefits used dosages of 1 billion to 100 billion live organisms or colony-forming units (CFU) per day.

To achieve these levels most people find it more convenient to take probiotics as tablets, capsules and powders. These contain the bacteria in dried form. 

We offer a selected range of probiotic supplements which will help to boost your immune system. We offer formulations to suit all customers’ needs and to suit a range of budgets.
