We hear a lot about probiotics , but what exactly are they? They are live microorganisms, mainly bacteria and yeasts, naturally present in our bodies. Their role? Probiotics are beneficial for health, particularly for the digestive system.

Let's take a look at some etymology: "Pro Bios" literally means "for life" in ancient Greek. And that's no small thing! Probiotics are key players in regulating intestinal flora, which corresponds to all the microorganisms present in our digestive tract. How can we provide our bodies with them? By adopting a diet rich in probiotics, consisting of dairy products (Greek yogurt or skyr) and fermented products (kombucha, sauerkraut, kimchi, brewer's yeast, cider vinegar), and/or by taking a probiotic course for at least three months.

Probiotics, friends of your intestines

Irritable bowel syndrome, intestinal candidiasis, bloating, poor digestion , slow transit... An intestinal flora that is not rich and varied enough can be the cause of many digestive and intestinal problems. This can be due to stress, lack of sleep, an unbalanced diet or even following drug treatment.

Their assets to support intestinal health

During digestion, they help break down food and produce essential nutrients, such as certain vitamins and short-chain fatty acids, which are beneficial to our bodies.

Once well established in our intestine, they create a favorable environment by preventing the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria, strengthening the intestinal barrier and regulating the immune system.

Which probiotics should you take to rebuild your intestinal flora?

We can only encourage you to supplement regularly, by taking a minimum three-month course of probiotics in order to reseed the intestinal flora (and therefore the skin).

Our advice: opt for one of the Pure Glow , Balance & Glow or French Glow formulas which, in addition to Tyndallized probiotic strains, contain natural active ingredients that take care of the skin and meet very specific needs.

In case of a flare-up or discomfort, you can combine them with Gut Flow, a digestive enzyme supplement that aids digestion for optimal transit. This formula prevents bloating and preserves intestinal flora. No more stomach aches and bloating!
