Probiotics mainly regulate the gastrointestinal flora by regulating intestinal flora. The imbalance of intestinal flora is one of the main causes of gastrointestinal discomfort, and probiotics adjust the intestinal flora to balance it. Probiotics can inhibit the reproduction of harmful bacteria, promote intestinal peristalsis and absorption, and maintain intestinal health. Probiotics mainly relieve gastrointestinal problems through the following aspects:
Promote intestinal flora balance. Probiotics can inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria such as pathogenic bacteria and accelerate the growth and reproduction of beneficial bacteria, thereby maintaining a balanced intestinal flora. The adhesion and competitive inhibitory effects of probiotics can form a natural barrier on the intestinal mucosa, effectively isolate the pathogenic bacteria in the intestine, prevent the intestinal epithelial tissue from being infected by pathogenic bacteria, and effectively reduce the colonization of pathogenic bacteria. rate, greatly improving the defense level of the intestines.
Promote digestion and absorption of the body. The metabolites (amylase, protease, lipase, etc.) produced by probiotics when they grow in the body can promote the body's digestion of nutrients and make it easier for the body to absorb nutrients. At the same time, probiotics can decompose nutrients that the body cannot decompose, and produce vitamins, growth factors, amino acids, etc. during the fermentation process, allowing the body to obtain more comprehensive nutrition. In addition, probiotics can promote the digestion and absorption of nutrients, alleviate intestinal cell apoptosis, and maintain the integrity of the intestinal morphology and structure.
Boost the immune system. Probiotics can activate the innate immune system, increase the activity of innate immune cells such as phagocytes and natural killer cells, play an anti-infective role, and can prevent and treat digestive tract infections caused by various causes; they can also activate regulatory T cells to negatively impact infections. It regulates the specific immune system and plays an auxiliary therapeutic role in food intolerance, allergic diseases such as asthma, and autoimmune diseases such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
Relieve constipation. Probiotics can promote intestinal peristalsis, increase intestinal moisture, and relieve gastrointestinal discomfort caused by constipation. In addition, probiotics can also increase lactic acid and short-chain fatty acids in the intestinal environment, further reduce the pH value of the intestinal environment, promote intestinal peristalsis, reduce intestinal running time, and improve constipation symptoms.
