Probiotics are live bacteria that support
the immune system, the health of your
heart and brain, and optimises the
absorption of nutrients from food and
other supplements. In short, probiotics
protect and support your gut, which in
turn protects and supports you.
When you drink antibiotics, it destroys
both the good and bad bacteria in your gut.
Think of antibiotics as a fire that
moves through a lush, green forest filled
with life, destroying everything in its path.
Probiotics is the rain that comes after
the fire, bringing back life and
turning everything green again.
You need probiotics on a daily basis, not
just when drinking antibiotics, because your
gut lining replaces itself every four days. It
does this because the strong digestive acids
found there would dissolve it. When these
acids burn through the lining
quicker than it can replace
itself, an ulcer is formed.
