Are your probiotic supplements working?

Taking probiotic supplements is an excellent way to restore gut health which, in turn, can be very beneficial to your overall health. Keep in mind, however, that not all brands of probiotics contain the same active and inactive ingredients nor are they all equal in terms of quality. Therefore, it’s a wise idea to know what to expect to be able to judge whether or not the probiotic you’re taking is actually working correctly for you.

Skin issues such as eczema and acne, mood swings, body odor, and problems associated with digestion like bloating, gas, diarrhea, or constipation are all indications that you may be experiencing an imbalance of the microflora in your gut. All of these symptoms can be the result of an over-colonization of bad bacteria in your digestive tract. Taking a high quality probiotic supplement like ThreeLac or FiveLac Probiotics from Global Health Trax can help restore gut balance by introducing a large number of beneficial bacteria into your gut.

Signs it’s working

When you take probiotics, your goal is to create a healthier environment in the gut which then leads to positive changes in other areas of the body. The immune system resides in the gut, and there is a vital gut-brain connection which means signs of a healthy digestive tract are not just associated with what happens in the bathroom. Many other body systems are affected by the digestive tract. So, what are some of the changes in overall health to look for when you introduce a probiotic supplement?

You may notice a reduction in food intolerances like dairy products, your cholesterol level may decrease, and you may experience fewer periods of indigestion, gas, and bloating. In addition, you may see an improvement in your general mood, your skin may clear up, and you should have more energy when you wake up in the morning.

Signs it’s not working

If you’re not experiencing the positive health benefits listed above within a few weeks to months of starting supplementation, you may need to change probiotics. Each product contains different varieties of bacteria, and you may not be taking the one that is most beneficial to you. In addition, because the supplement industry is not quality controlled, you may have picked up an ineffective brand. This can be avoided by researching different brands and making sure you buy the best probiotic supplements available.
