Probiotics are essential to health because they populate the gut, generating enzymes that assist digestion. However, their most important role is often considered to be a part of the immune system. Within the digestive tract, probiotic bacteria naturally compete for food resources with more pathogenic bacteria, helping to prevent them from establishing a foothold from which they could potentially extend to other areas of the body. Any one species of bacteria is ideally suited to living in a very specific environment. But the intestines contain a range of extreme environments varying in pH, oxygen concentration and hydration. Therefore it stands to reason that to achieve a degree of protection along the entire digestive tract requires a broad spectrum of probiotic bacteria, each suited to a different intestinal ecosystem. For this reason, this probiotic category contains only the highest quality, broad-spectrum probiotic products.
