Oraldiet 30 Lozenges Product Information

What is a probiotic?

The joint consultation of the Food and Agricultural Organisation of the United Nations and the World Health Organisation defined probiotics as ‘Live microogranisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host.’ In other words, a probiotic is a valuable bacterial strain ordinarily found in certain parts of the body of a healthy person. When a person’s immune system is out of balance, probiotics can be taken to restore the balance. Probiotics use ‘good, healthy’ bacteria to fight the ‘bad, unhealthy’ bacteria in your body.

How do probiotics work?

Probiotics work to restore the natural balance of the bacteria in your body. Probiotics have several mechanisms of action. For example some probiotics stimulate the immune system and restore antigen concentration. Other probiotics produce nutrients, vitamins and antimicrobial agents. And some probiotics compete with pathogens for nutrients and binding sites. These mechanisms prevent the overgrowth of unflavourable microflora, restore the number of favourable microflora and provide an environment in which beneficial bacteria can flourish.
