There are many health benefits of taking a probiotic supplement. They range from maintaining good health, to preventing and even treating disorders. These include digestive, mental health and skin.
The key is to maintain a healthy and balanced microflora. A healthy flora improves digestibility, nutrient absorbtion, mental health and energy, and also prevents toxins from entering the bloodstream. When your flora is unbalanced it will affect all other parts of your body (see the why take probiotics section for more information on this). The problems that can arise vary by individual, and depend on many factors such as environmental, genetic predisposition, diet, and medical treatment.
Below is a list of symptoms and disorders probiotics are found to help. Thankfully, taking a probiotic supplement can reduce or even eliminate these symptoms.
