Probiotics have earned a rep for being helpful for those with stomach or digestive issues. But, there is more to the story than just this. Experts say that 70 to 80 per cent of our immune systems are located in the gut, so a healthy gastrointestinal tract is important not just for our digestive systems, but for our overall health.
That is where probiotics can come into the picture. These live microorganisms, known as “good bacteria,” may improve and maintain the health of your gut and, by extension, your overall health. Probiotics may come in the form of tablets, powders, drinks, or in some fortified foods, such as yoghurt.
The most commonly used bacteria in probiotics are lactobacillus and bifidobacterium. Probiotics are generally considered safe since the bacteria in probiotics are already present in small amounts in the body.
The good news is probiotics are easy to add to an existing routine. Mannatech’s delicious yoghurt flavored GI-ProBalance® slimsticks contain a variety of probiotic bacteria and prebiotics that can positively affect health by improving the survival and growth of beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This specially formulated symbiotic product supports a natural balance of good bacteria to maintain healthy digestion, which helps to promote natural immune function, improve nutrient absorption, and guard against occasional digestive upsets and intestinal disturbances.*
