Seven reasons why you should fall in love with probiotics

Show your body some love by spoiling your micro-organisms with probiotics to improve your overall wellness. 

You might think that taking probiotics is only necessary when you are on a course of antibiotics, right? Wrong!  

Health starts in the gut. If your gut health is low, it can lead to digestive problems, a weakened immune system, skin problems and even mental health issues, which is why you need probiotics – always. 

Probiotics are beneficial micro-organisms that live in your gut and are crucial for the health of your digestive system…and your brain. This is because the gut and the brain are connected by a complex communication system that can affect your physical and mental health. 

Releaf Pharmaceuticals share seven quick facts about what probiotics can do for your body:  

  1. Improve skin health by reducing inflammation and improving the barrier function of the skin.
  2. Reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. 
  3. Help regulate appetite and metabolism, which can lead to weight loss.
  4. Reduce the build-up of harmful bacteria in the mouth.
  5. Improve bone health by increasing the absorption of calcium and other minerals.
  6. Increase the production of antibodies and white blood cells therefore improving your immune system. 
  7. Regulate the production of neurotransmitters and improve sleep quality by reducing inflammation.
