A SOLUTION TO INTESTINAL DISORDERS AND MORE...

Did you know that not all bacteria are harmful to health? In fact, most of them are not pathogenic in nature, and only a portion of naturally occurring bacteria are capable of causing health problems in humans.

Bacteria are often associated with disease and infection because of the portrayal in popular culture and the image given by the media: in reality, there are a great many bacteria that provide a considerable number of benefits to health, such as, for example, probiotics. Surely you have already heard of them, but today we want to go into a little more detail and understand together why they are so important.

What are probiotics?

Probiotics are the “good bacteria” that populate our gut and, although they may seem foreign to our bodies, they play a fundamental in maintaining the well-being of the whole body:

They help regulate microbial balance , maintaining balanced intestinal flora.
They enable or facilitate the digestion of certain nutrients.
They can relieve ailments such as bloating, gas and constipation.
They strengthen the immune system, helping the body fight infections.
They have also been associated with benefits for prevention of some diseases, and there is strong evidence of their help in safeguarding mental, epithelial, and cardiovascular health.

To fully understand the action of probiotics, it is necessary to consider the gut microbiota, which is the set of microorganisms that populate our intestines: this microbial ecosystem is of fundamental importance to our health, as it affects different aspects of our body, from digestion to the immune system.

But how do these "good bacteria" act?

As anticipated in the previous paragraphs, probiotics have a great impact on the intestinal flora; in fact, they act directly on the mechanisms of the gut microbiota by providing various benefits, the most important among them being:

Gut colonization: Probiotics, once introduced into the body, adhere to the intestinal mucosa and colonize the gut, competing for space and nutrients with pathogenic bacteria.
Production of antimicrobial substances: Many probiotics produce substances that inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.
Immune system modulation: Probiotics interact with the immune system, stimulating antibody production and modulating the inflammatory response.
Vitamin production: Some probiotics are able to produce B vitamins and vitamin K, contributing to the body’s nutritional requirements.
Improved intestinal barrier: Probiotics can strengthen the intestinal barrier by reducing permeability and preventing the passage of harmful substances into the bloodstream.
Modulation of metabolism: Probiotics can influence metabolism by promoting nutrient absorption and the production of short-chain fatty acids, such as butyric acid.

Due to their action, probiotics are crucial in the treatment of diseases related to digestion and nutrient assimilation, but they also play a crucial role in improving immune defenses: this is precisely why they prove to be remarkably effective in quelling particularly aggressive inflammatory responses, as (for example) in the case of acne.

How do you increase the number of probiotics in the body?

In case of probiotic deficiency or need, it is possible to replenish in different ways that vary in effectiveness, amount of probiotics, and invasiveness:

It is possible to replenish through diet with foods that undergo a certain type of fermentation, such as yogurt, milk, kefir, tempeh, etc., which are rich in probiotics, but, clearly, this amount, being variable, may be insufficient;
It is possible to replenish through topical treatments, such as creams or gels used to treat skin disorders; however, this solution is only local and benefits only the area of application.
It is possible to replenish through fecal transplantation: this is undoubtedly the most invasive, costly and complex solution; therefore, it should be considered only if in extremely severe cases.
It is possible to replenish through specific nutraceuticals, which are undoubtedly the right compromise between expense, safety and efficacy, as long as you use targeted and comprehensive products.

Is there a SPECIFIC and SAFE supplement?

To integrate probiotics safely within the body, research Wikenfarma has developed Kenflor 15cps: each capsule of this product contains about 10 billion live cells of Lactobacillus Acidophilus and Bifidobacterium Bifidum and more! Kenflor‘s formulation, unlike that of its competitors, is enriched with vitamins and prebiotics, which promote the assimilation of probiotics (found in abundance in the formulation) in the gut. What makes Kenflor the best alternative on the market is the formulation by means of gastroprotected capsules: thanks to this, each capsule ensures that the probiotics arrive directly in the intestine, ensuring their maximum bioavailability.
