Probiotics interact with the immune system and provide a host of benefits to prevent or treat diseases. They include irritable bowel disorders such as ulcerative colitis, candida, diarrhea, and even autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, eczema, autism and others.The effects of probiotics on the immune system is profound. Beneficial bacteria in your intestines crowd out harmful bacteria and have a direct effect on your immune response. Unfortunately, changes in the bacteria in the gut occur as we age, and in particular a decline in Bifidobacteria, which inhibit pathogenic microbes. This increases the susceptibility to colds, flu and infections, but probiotics can help restore it. Antibiotics kill the beneficial, good bacteria along with the bad. When these protective bacteria are wiped out, pathogenic bacteria and other organisms move in, causing diarrhea, yeast overgrowth in the vagina and intestines, and a host of other issues. The good bacteria must be cultivated by taking a good probiotic.NOW Foods was founded in 1968 under the belief that good health was not a luxury available only to the wealthy.
