Probiotics for General Health & Wellbeing

Your gut health is the foundation of your general health and wellbeing, so it makes sense to look after it!

Protect your gut, and you will be well on the way to optimal wellness, enhanced vitality, and greater happiness. Many health experts  suggest taking a probiotic to achieve this, and for an excellent reason.

Why a probiotic?

Science tells us that the bacteria in our body out number our body's cells by 10 to 1 and that most of these bacteria are located in your gut. Your gut microbiome consists of trillions of bacteria and other microorganisms which live in your digestive system; the microbiome enhances the optimal functioning of your digestion, metabolism, immunity, and brain.

Having the right bacteria in your gut  is extremely important.

What are probiotics? 

Probiotics are natural microorganisms that promote the growth of beneficial bacteria.

Did you know that there are between 2 - 4 kilograms of intestinal bacteria in our digestive systems? These bacteria are made up of both good and bad bacteria. Good bacteria aid in food breakdown and help produce the nutrients needed by our bodies, and they also help keep the growth of unhealthy or harmful bacteria under control for a healthy balance.

Probiotics provide the good bacteria your body needs for a healthy digestive system – and a healthy digestive system is a key to overall health and wellbeing. 

The number of 'good' bacteria in your microbiome can become unbalanced by a wide range of lifestyle factors including:

• Excess alcohol intake
• Consuming too much dietary fat
• Eating a low-fibre diet
• Excess stress
• Exposure to toxic substances
• Eating too many processed and unhealthy foods 

What are the benefits of taking probiotics?

There are many factors which disrupt the balance of the microbiome which result in symptoms not just within the digestive system itself but on our overall health.

Taking high quality and clinically researched probiotics is one way we can maintain and restore our microbiome for optimal health outcomes.

Why Qiara?
