The Significance of Probiotics

PROBIOTICS.ϟ
ϟNature's Bounty conveys it precisely, "Be Your Healthy Best"!  Personally, I take a probiotic every single day. Probiotics perform wonders for one's immune health. "Probiotics are living micro organisms...live active cultures..." (Culturelle, 2015) This supplement is "... a natural process..."
 
ϟ Think about this: "digestion is a complex process, transforming the food we eat into energy, while ridding our system of wastes and toxins" (Nature's Bounty Inc., 2015). Culturelle and Nature's Bounty Probiotics have even helped cure some of my gastrointestinal pain (stomach-ache, ouch!) "Since 70% of our immune cells are located in our gastrointestinal system, gut health is not only important to digestion but is also involved in overall performance of the immune system," Nature's Bounty expresses, "20 billion active cultures per serving guaranteed...in Ultra Strength Probiotic 10." This helps support a "favorable environment for the absorption of nutrients". ϟ This is especially important when your doctor has prescribed you antibiotics, say, to cure an infection, e.g. sinus infection, it is essential to take a probiotic to help build more good-bacteria in your body.
Probiotics don't just help our gastrointestinal system, they help aid to all parts of our body. A study by Hatakka, et. al. 2008, conveys that probiotics have been shown to fight cancer-causing cells. There have also been numerous studies that express how probiotics can help protect against viruses and infections. 
---Think about it: antibiotics kill pathogens in our body, while probiotics keep the good bacteria alive while producing more of it.---

 If you're don't feel comfortable taking a probiotic, a yogurt a day will suffice to an extent.

Just a note: If you don't take a probiotic, you may want to reconsider. Culturelle expresses that an individual would need to eat 10 yogurts a day just to match the amount of good bacteria that one single probiotic capsule supplies. 
The choice is yours!
