Bio-K Probiotic

A few years ago, I was very sick with an infection and my doctor prescribed strong antibiotics that killed the bacteria in my body that was making me sick. That was actually my first introduction to the term "good bacteria". I also learned that the antibiotics the doctor prescribed me also killed many of my good bacteria, which aids in keeping things like yeast from spreading in the body and other infections. A friend suggested a product for me to use called Bi0-K, which puts healthy bacteria into the system when consumed. Bio-K is a probiotic that contain L. acidophilus and L. casei, which are bacteria already present in the human intestinal flora. They protect against illnesses and ensure proper functioning and efficiency of the digestive system. It is important to note that there are about 100 trillion microorganisms inside a healthy bowel.

A number of stimuli, which can include, antibiotics, stress, and the consumption of processed foods, can kill good bacteria. Without having the adequate amount of bacteria needed in the body there are increased risks of illnesses and disease. Healthy bacteria can be added back into the system by the use of Bio-K. The flavors it comes in are regular, fruity, and strawberry with options of a soy free type. All of the flavors of Bio-K are free of hormones, heavy metals, pesticides, gluten and GMO. Priobiotics must be alive when the reach the intestinal track in order to work and I learned, from a Bio-K rep, that the bacteria in Bio-K would still be alive when it is consumed. According to the rep, this is what makes it the best probiotic in the market. It is expensive at about $ 4.00 per serving and $ 25.00 for a box that has six containers.

Priobiotics do not have to be approved like drug do because in the U.S. they are considered a dietary supplement. The claims on the label are not guaranteed to be true. If you are taking bacteria for a certain illness you need to make sure the strain of bacteria is appropriate for the sickness because there are different quantities of bacteria needed for different illnesses.

Bio-K is one of the more costly of the probiotics on the market, but as explained by the rep., a lot of probiotic have bacteria that die before they are even consumed but not so with Bio-K. It is costly but it is a good product so whenever I get sick I take a tablespoon a day. There are cheaper versions out there but I definitely recommend regularly including probiotics in the health regime.
