Probiotics: The Market for Tomorrow That You Should Be Growing Today
Yogurt, tempeh, kombucha: what do these funky foods have in common? They are all an excellent source of good bacteria, or probiotics. For most of the last century, modern medicine was concerned only with killing bacteria, since many types are destructive and infectious. That’s all changing, however, as the market explodes with probiotic supplements, and other sources of “friendly bacteria.”
After decades of bacterial paranoia, many consumers are embracing their former foes. In some parts of the world, like Japan and Eastern Europe, probiotics have long been celebrated for their health benefits. Foods like miso, sauerkraut, and kefir are dietary staples from Budapest to Tokyo. Today, probiotics are gaining popularity in the United States, and many Americans are wondering how they can make probiotics a part of every day.
Research is bearing out that the good bacteria in probiotics are necessary for optimal health. Antibiotics, harsh detergents, skincare products, and even poor diet, can all kill healthy bacteria. The absence of this bacteria can contribute to a host of ailments from digestive distress to skin irritation. Researchers seem to discover new benefits of probiotics almost daily. Yet, we’ve only just begun to understand the important functions of these good germs.
The Benefits of Probiotic Supplements
Getting enough probiotics from food sources can require a drastic change in diet. Mass-produced dairy is pasteurized and can be loaded with additives, compromising its natural probiotic content. So, many consumers are relying on probiotic supplements to meet their needs. Kombucha is a popular new drink rich with probiotics, but it’s still in experimental stages. It’s impossible for consumers to know exactly which bacteria it holds, and if it’s enough to replenish the healthy bacteria in our bodies. With the mystery and inconsistencies in our modern food sources, probiotic supplements are the natural choice.
By taking a probiotics supplement, consumers have added peace of mind. They know which bacteria they’re getting, so they can be sure it’s just the good stuff with none of the bad. In addition, they can be sure that one or two capsules provide enough probiotics for their health, taking the guess work out of complicated diet changes.
Probiotics: Not Just for Your Gut
Does a probiotic supplement have to come in a pill? Promising new research suggests not. It turns out that the human body needs good bacteria inside and out. Dandruff, rashes, and athlete’s foot can all come from bacterial imbalances on our skin. Friendly bacteria can be quite fragile, and many experts worry that our modern fondness for body wash, moisturizers and deodorants is all but obliterating our skin bacteria.
