What Are Probiotic Supplements?

Probiotic supplements are preparations containing probiotics¹, which are intended to enhance and increase the naturally occurring beneficial digestive flora in our large intestines.

These supplements can be purchased in liquid, tablet, capsule or powder form with some forms being available both for oral and non-oral administration.

Probiotic supplements are the most widely used form of probiotics in the United States. As a nation, the USA is becoming increasingly health aware and interested in preventative medicine and as a result demand for probiotic supplements is growing. The market has responded by becoming very active, competitive and diverse and as a result there is a wide range of products from which to choose.

Why Take Probiotic Supplements?

Many people wonder whether it is really necessary to take a probiotic supplement. Our answer would be yes, most definitely! Let us consider the reasons why:

Unlike our ancestors, who consumed large numbers of probiotic foods in their diet, our present-day diet no longer contains adequate levels of probiotic bacteria. Nowadays refined sugars, alcohol and coffee also feature heavily in our diets and these substances all damage our natural intestinal flora. Add to this the chlorine in our water, our use of medication (especially antibiotics, which decimate our natural probiotic bacteria) as well as the levels of stress in our everyday lives and the result is that for many of us, our natural levels of beneficial, health promoting bacteria become very diminished.

A good probiotic supplement will replenish the levels of these good bacteria, restoring our digestive balance and providing the well-established health benefits of probiotics. These include:

Enhancing the body’s natural defence system.

Halting or suppressing the activity of disease causing bacteria, yeasts and parasites.
Assisting in managing lactose intolerance.

Improving mineral uptake.

 

Are Probiotics Safe?

Whilst taking probiotic supplements is relatively new to us, ingesting probiotic bacteria is not. For years and years our ancient ancestors prepared and ate their own probiotics in the form of fermented foods such as milk kefir and yogurt. The fermenting process allowed good lactic acid bacteria in the foods to flourish, not only preserving the foods of our forbears, but also providing them with the probiotic bacteria, which both nourished and protected them.

Supplements containing probiotic bacteria are generally considered to be safe. The vast majority of supplements contain lactic acid bacteria similar to that used by our ancestors. These bacteria are widespread in nature – indeed they play an integral role the fermentation process and they are also a natural resident of the human digestive systems, skin, mouth and vagina.

Most of these helpful bacteria belong to the Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria genera. Probiotic bacteria belonging to both these groups have a long history of safe use and have been used in the food processing industry for many years. In the words of the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), these bacteria are “generally regarded as safe”. Likewise both Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria are accepted as safe ingredients for food in both Japan and Europe.

However some members of the genera Enterococcus and Streptococcus include some disease-causing organisms and therefore you should consult your healthcare provider before consuming supplements containing these substances.
