Yogurt contains a large amount of probiotics. Drinking yogurt can indeed replenish probiotics and maintain intestinal health. However, relying only on drinking yogurt to supplement probiotics is a single method and the types of strains obtained are insufficient.
First of all, common probiotics added to commercially available fermented yogurt include Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus. Some yogurts also add Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus acidophilus. These probiotics can promote digestion, prevent diarrhea and constipation, and promote intestinal health. However, with the advancement of technology and research and development, the functions of probiotics have been widely exploited. Different types of probiotic strains such as anti-allergy, weight loss, blood pressure lowering, blood sugar lowering, and bone strengthening have been gradually discovered and successfully screened. It can be seen that the role of probiotics The uses are already very wide. The common probiotics in yogurt can no longer meet the needs of many people.
Secondly, the probiotic activity in yogurt is not easy to preserve. Yogurt contains a lot of water, and probiotics will enter an active state when encountering water. After the active state, probiotics will often die in large numbers. As a result, I drink a lot of yogurt and often don’t supplement enough probiotics. This is one reason why yogurt has a short shelf life. Therefore, yogurt often needs to be kept refrigerated.
The storage of probiotic powder products often has advantages over yogurt. Take the probiotic products of probioway Biotechnology as an example. Probioway probiotics use freeze-drying technology and 5-layer embedding technology so that the bacteria are in a dormant state. The outer packaging is a PET-CPP aluminum foil bag with good heat sealability, non-toxic and odorless, which can store the probiotics at room temperature for at least two years. Taking 2 grams of probiotics per bag as an example, during the shelf life, the number of active bacteria in each bag is maintained at more than 10 billion.
To sum up, daily consumption of yogurt is beneficial to the body, and it is also a good way to supplement probiotics. But if you want to supplement probiotics in a sufficient amount to target a certain effect, you also need to take specialized probiotic products.
