Summary
Probiotics are live microorganisms that contribute to the health of the body when they are of good quality and taken in sufficient quantity.
Also called "good bacteria", they are naturally present in the intestines and help maintain the balance of intestinal flora.
The benefits of probiotics are numerous, for the intimate, intestinal flora and even for the skin.
With more than 100,000 billion bacteria, the intestinal flora is home to more than 1000 different species, including probiotics.
Its good health depends on the balance between “good” and “bad” bacteria.
Our current consumption patterns, pollution, stress or even taking antibiotics can lead to an imbalance of the microbiota.
When "bad bacteria" are in excess, they are responsible for various health problems: infections, digestive disorders (diarrhea, intolerances) and dermatological disorders (eczema, acne, allergies), fatigue and weakening of the system immune.
Consuming probiotics is a good help to restore the harmony and balance of the intestinal flora. And the benefits of probiotics will be felt throughout the body.
Clinical results published over the past fifteen years highlight the multiple benefits of probiotics.
They act directly on the intestinal flora by stimulating the growthand the renewalof good bacteria with the result of strengthening the body's protection >.
Probiotics play a key role in many functions of our body, from digestion to immunity, for the skin or for intimate health.
I. The benefits of probiotics
A. For digestion and intestinal transit
Good for the intestines
When the digestive tract is poorly maintained, the proliferation of bad bacteria in the intestine can cause transit disorders: constipation, weakness, stomach aches, bloating, irregular stools or intolerances. This is called an “intestinal flora imbalance”.
Regular consumption of probiotics prevents the multiplication of bad bacteria in the digestive system.
The benefits of probiotics are numerous, they help to restore the balance of the intestinal microbiotaand to reduce the permeability of the intestine. They are recognized for:
- Facilitate good digestion: Probiotics provided to the digestive system. They naturally integrate into the flora already present and reinforce it. The intestinal flora contributes to the digestion of ingested foods, notably participating in the breakdown of certain food residues (fibers, lipids, proteins) and the assimilation of nutrients.
- Regulate intestinal transit (diarrhea and constipation) : By reducing the quality of the intestinal flora, probiotics help regulate intestinal transit. Probiotics therefore avoid digestive discomforts such as prevention or constipation.
- Fight against infections: Probiotics secrete antimicrobial substances and prevent the multiplication of bad microbes in the digestive system.
- Promote weight loss: Some studies prove that modulation of the microbiota could have favorable effects on weight. Taking probiotics can help you lose weight thanks to their positive action on transit, feelings of hunger, fullness, stress and the reduction of bloating and intestinal pain.
B. For the skin
The skin and gut microbiota work together in a direct connection called the “gut-skin” axis.
Indeed, the skin is a reflection of what is happening inside the body, including our intestinal flora.
When this is altered or unbalanced, this affects the intestinal barrierand can cause what is called “leaky gut”.
A leaky gut causes toxinsand microbes to pass into the bloodstream. The immune systemreacts and this leads to a state of chronic inflammation in the body affecting the appearance and health of the skin: acne, eczema, psoriasis, allergies, etc. ).
The consumption of probiotics allows you to gradually rebalance the microbiota, affecting the health of the skin. Lactic ferments enable the wall of the intestineand lead to intestinal detoxification. They are known to strengthen natural defenses and promote balance and skin health from the inside.
Some strains of probiotics are also capable of producing substances with anti-inflammatoryand anti-microbial properties. They significantly reduce skin inflammation, rebalance the skin pH, restore the skin's protective barrier and prevent the proliferation of bad bacteria, responsible for conditions such as acne.
Probiotics thus help maintain healthy, soft and hydrated skindaily.
C. For intimate health in women
In women, the balance and maintenance of the intimate flora is essential for their health and well-being. Called lactobacilli, or Döderlein flora, these good bacteria enable the vaginal cavityin order to prevent the proliferation of bad bacteria.
Different factors, internal or external, can cause an imbalance in the vaginal microbiota: hormonal factors, tobacco, stress, inadequate personal hygiene, wearing clothes that are too tight, etc.
An imbalance can thus cause fungal infections, itching, cystitis, bacterial vaginosis and other intimate discomforts such as dryness or burning sensation.
The consumption of probiotics is very effective in fighting against vaginal and urinary infections. Probiotics stimulate the production of mucus and are capable of producing substances that are very active against the microbes responsible for urogenital infections. In addition, the presence of probiotics helps eliminate infectious bacteria installed on the vaginal wall.
Probiotics also have anti-inflammatoryand antioxidant properties.
Lactobacilli hinder the activation of the immune responseand the protection of cells.
They help to extinguish the inflammatory statereinforced by the infection and relievethus intimate painsuch as vaginal itching or the sensation of burn.

D. Advantages and disadvantages
Probiotics offer many health benefits, but it's important to note that they can also have some drawbacks.
Benefits include improving digestion, strengthening the immune system, and promoting healthy skin.
However, some individuals may experience temporary side effects such as bloating or gas when introducing probiotics into their diet. It is therefore recommended to start with small doses and increase gradually.
Benefits of a probiotic cure
A course of probiotics can provide significant benefits for overall health. By restoring the balance of the intestinal microbiota, a treatment can improve digestion, strengthen the immune system, and promote healthy skin.
Additionally, a course of probiotics can help prevent vaginal and urinary infections in women. It is important to choose high-quality probiotics, such as those offered by D-LAB NUTRICOSMETICS, to guarantee optimal effectiveness.
