FERMENTED PROBIOTIC DRINKS

Probiotic drinks contain live probiotic cultures, typically strains of beneficial bacteria and/or yeast. These microorganisms positively influence the balance of your gut microbiome, which plays a crucial role in digestion, immune function, and overall well-being.

BENEFITS OF FERMENTED PROBIOTIC DRINKS

Healthy Gut: Probiotic drinks are great for gut health. They positively influence the gut microbiome, which can lead to better digestion, improved nutrient absorption, and reduced inflammation.

Immune System Support: A healthy gut microbiome is closely linked to a robust immune system as most of the immune system “faces” the gut. By promoting a balanced gut flora, probiotic drinks can enhance your body's ability to fend off infections and reduce inflammation.

Digestive Balance: Probiotics can help alleviate digestive discomfort such as bloating, gas, and diarrhoea by helping to restore the balance of beneficial bacteria in the gut. They can also help avoid constipation.

Mood and Brain Health: Research has revealed a connection between the gut and brain, often referred to as the gut-brain axis. Probiotic drinks may have a positive impact on mental well-being and mood.

Oral Health: While probiotic drinks are often associated with gut health, their potential oral health benefits are often disregarded. Oral rinsing before swallowing fermented probiotic beverages may have benefits to oral health
