Probiotics have potential benefits in gut health, immune modulation, metabolic health, anti-tumor, and other areas as listed below:
Intestinal health:
Probiotics can regulate the balance of intestinal flora, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, and maintain intestinal microecological balance.
They are effective in preventing and treating intestinal-related diseases, such as diarrhea, constipation and lactose intolerance.
Probiotics can also promote the repair and renewal of intestinal mucosa and enhance the intestinal barrier function.
Immune regulation:
Probiotics can activate immune cells and enhance the immune defense of the intestinal mucosa.
They balance the immune response by regulating the production of cytokines, increasing the body’s resistance.
Probiotics also help prevent and alleviate allergy symptoms, including atopic dermatitis and food allergies.
Metabolic Health:
Probiotics regulate metabolism, helping to lower cholesterol levels and prevent cardiovascular disease.
They are also involved in regulating blood sugar, which can be helpful for diabetics.
Some probiotics have antioxidant properties that can alleviate disorders of glucose and lipid metabolism caused by oxidative stress.
Other potential benefits:
Probiotics regulate mood, cognition and behavior, with potential therapeutic effects on anxiety, depression and certain neurodegenerative disorders.
They may also indirectly promote sleep and improve sleep quality by improving the gut environment.
