Probiotics have now become a "core raw material" in the field of nutrition and health, and their value has been highly recognized and paid attention to. The probiotic health care product market is experiencing unprecedented changes and opportunities.
Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when given in sufficient amounts, provide health benefits to the body. Probiotics have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that probiotics can control and improve several motor and non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease patients and experimental animal models.
Probiotics are also divided into food grade and pharmaceutical grade. There is an OTC mark on the packaging of pharmaceutical-grade probiotics. Such products have undergone a large number of clinical trials before being put on the market, and their safety can be guaranteed. The number of types of probiotics in health foods depends on the characteristics of the bacteria and their health functions.
Best probiotics for women
Regular consumption of probiotic products is very effective in preventing urinary tract infections in women. Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, have found that supplementing with probiotic-containing products three times a week can help women avoid urinary tract infections.
Gut microbes can produce/regulate a variety of neurotransmitters, the chemicals that send signals from one neuron to another. They include dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine, which are important in regulating mood.
Probiotics can synthesize various vitamins in the intestine, such as vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, folic acid and niacin for human use. These vitamins are easily lacking in women with irregular diet, mental stress and high work pressure.
Probiotics for parkinson's disease
Studies have shown that there is a bidirectional pathway between the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system. Probiotics may affect the gut-brain axis by changing the composition of intestinal microbiota, the enteric nervous system and the central nervous system, thereby alleviating the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
Probiotics for kids
Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that support immune, digestive and oral health. They also play a vital role in mental health. The gut contains trillions of bacteria and the enteric nervous system is made up of 200-600 million neurons, cells that receive, process and transmit information. The gut communicates with the brain through these neurons and the vagus nerve or by modulating neuroactive compounds produced by the microbiome.
One study in healthy individuals showed that probiotics can reduce depression, anxiety, and stress. Another study showed that treatment with lactobacillus can reduce levels of cortisol, an important stress hormone.
Preclinical evidence suggests that certain gut bacteria increase levels in the brain of BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), a growth factor known to promote neuronal development, survival and function and support synaptic health.
Good probiotics for gut health
The World Gastroenterology Organization defines probiotics as live microorganisms in the 2011 Global Guidelines for Probiotics and Prebiotics. Probiotics can adhere to the intestinal mucosa and form a protective film.
OEM/OEM probiotic products are available for us.
When purchasing probiotics, choose products with clinical trial data. When identifying the function of probiotics, factors such as the type of strain, the source of the strain, and the number of viable bacteria of the strain need to be considered to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the probiotics.
The second is whether the ingredients of probiotics are safe, and whether the combination of strains and prebiotics is a scientific ratio. At the same time, it is necessary to select suitable probiotic products according to specific functional requirements to achieve the best effect.
