Army of the gut - soldiers which saves you by eating your food.
In the season of monsoon, when our digestion gets slow and many of us suffer from diarrhoea and vomiting due to parasitic infection, we all require and help to fight the battle against environment. There comes the role of soldiers about which many of us might not be aware in true sense.
Pre biotics also known as foods which are high in fibrous content. Fibers are the threads found in the vegies function as the structural support system in the plants. When taken as food, this fiber provides shelter to adhere & flourish to micro-organism in the gut and intestine. Some commonly eaten pre biotics are beta-glucan?from?oats,?resistant starch?from grains and beans, and?inulin?from?chicory root.
Compounds that can be classified as prebiotics must also meet the following criteria:
Thus, consumption of prebiotics may facilitate the health of the host. Specifically,?fructans?and?galactans?are two oligosaccharide sources which have been found to stimulate the activity and growth of beneficial bacterial colonies in the gut.?Fructans are a category of carbohydrate consisting of?fructooligosaccharides?(FOS) and?inulins, while galactans consist of?galactooligosaccharides.?
In recent decades, several studies have underlined the health benefits of prebiotics, including:
When the prebiotic concept was first introduced in 1995, the primary focus was on the effects of Bifidobacteria?and?Lactobacillus. These bacteria are beneficial gut bacteria as they have several beneficial effects on the host in terms of improving digestion and the effectiveness and intrinsic strength of the immune system.
Studies have also shown that prebiotics, besides helping growth of beneficial gut bacteria, can also inhibit detrimental and potentially pathogenic microbes in the gut?such as?clostridia.
Mechanism of action
Fermentation?is the main?mechanism of action?for the beneficial bacteria in the colon.?Both?Bifidobacteria?and?Lactobacillus use?saccharolytic?metabolism to break down substrates.?The bifidobacterial?genome?contains many?genes?that encode for carbohydrate-modifying enzymes as well as encode for carbohydrate uptake proteins.
Both?Bifidobacteria?and?Lactobacillus?have been shown to have differing prebiotic specificity and to selectively ferment prebiotic fibre based on the enzymes characteristic. Thus,?Lactobacilli?prefer inulin and fructooligosaccharides, while?Bifidobacteria?display specificity for inulin, fructooligosaccharides, xylo-oligosaccharides and galactooligosaccharides.?
?
Pro biotics are the living organism generally referred as a bacteria which are comes under the lactobacillus family. Fermented milk products like yogurt and curd, buttermilk, fermented pickles and sausages are main source of probiotic.
This group of bacteria can help us to restore our gut microflora as well as to prevent the blotting and gas production. While taking a antibiotic for chronic dieses, it leads to imbalance between good and bad bacteria and concomitantly wipe out the beneficial microbes. In such condition taking probiotics from the outside sources is the best option.
In some cases of pediatrics and geriatrics with poor digestive power, dietary probiotics works as a blessing. Babies And Small children with lactose intolerance problem, lactobacillus bacteria can help in combination with Bifidobacterium strength.

?Based on our scientists extreme research and vast experience, we have developed one combination which gives the combine benefits of prebiotic as well as probiotic in one sachet which contains:
Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus,
Bifidobacterium Longum, Bifidobacterium bifidum,
Saccharomyces thermophilus and fructo oligosaccharides.
This combination contains proportional qty of cells in billion cfu as per body's requirement.
